Learningpod is closing, last chance to avail Kaplan Practice Tests on Psychology

AP Psychology Test is an examination taken by senior high school students in the US for them to earn credit so they do not have to take Introduction to Psychology subject when they enter college.

This Kaplan Practice Test is about General Psychology - all topics about Psychology. A good refresher to recall and review principles of Psychology. Take both test at different times. Try to review your answers especially those mistakes.

Enjoy answering. Just click the links (Start Practice Test).

Got from my email this message - so Learningpod is also closing, too bad.

Learningpod will no longer be supported as of March 31st.

Madalas na Tanong - FAQ: 2014 Psychometrician Licensure Exam

Madalas na Tanong (FAQ)

at mga ugnay na kawing/linked na SAGOT

1) What is BLEPP?

Board Licensure Examination for Psychologists and Psychometricians is the official name of the board or licensure exam for Filipino Psychologists and Psychometricians that will be administered by the Professional Regulation Commission by virtue of RA 10029 or the Philippine Psychology Act of 2009.

http://psychometricpinas.blogspot.com/p/ra-10029-or-philippine-psychology-act.html

2) What is Professional Regulation Commission?

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) is responsible for the administration, implementation and enforcement of regulatory policies on the regulation and licensing of various professions and occupations under its jurisdiction. It is the instrument of the Filipino people in securing for the nation a reliable, trustworthy, and progressive system of developing professionals whose personal integrity and spiritual values are solid and respected, whose competencies are globally competitive, and whose commitment to serve the Filipino nation and the whole community is strong and steadfast.

http://www.prc.gov.ph/

3) Why do we need to take the board exam?

In line with the implementation of RA 10029 or Philippine Psychology Act of 2009, Psychometrician and Psychology is now a regulated profession in the country. Psychology undergraduates/graduates who passed the board exam will be given licensed to practice their profession as Psychometrician or Psychologist. A license is leverage for new graduates in their job application or an eligibility for promotion or career advancement for those who are not qualified for the grandfather clause of the law.

4) What is grandfather clause?

The grandfather clause allows individuals to be registered as Psychometrician without taking the board exam for as long as they satisfy the requirements of Sec 17 of RA 10029.

http://www.prc.gov.ph/uploaded/documents/BoardofPsychology-RA.pdf

5) Who should take the board exam?

The following are the qualifications for those who will be allowed to apply for the board exam:

(a) Is a Filipino citizen, a permanent resident or a citizen of a foreign state/country which extends reciprocity to the Philippines relative to the practice of the profession;

(b) Holds at least a bachelor's degree (note: course/graduates of AB, BS, MA, MS in Psychology/other title for as long as you have taken the 4 subjects or its equivalent to be taken up in the licensure exam) in psychology conferred by a university, college or school in the Philippines or abroad recognized/accredited by the CHED and has obtained sufficient credits for the subjects covered in the examinations;

(d) Has not been convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude.

http://www.prc.gov.ph/uploaded/documents/BoardofPsychology-RA.pdf

6) When is the deadline of application and the examination date of the first ever board exam?

Deadline of application is 8 October 2014

Examination date will be 28-19 of October 2014

7) What will be the coverage of the board exam?

As mandated in RA 10029 the board exam for Psychometrician will cover Industrial Psychology, Psychological Assessment, Abnormal Psychology and Theories of Personality. The Tables of Specifications provide particular general description of topics that will be covered by the board exam including the number of items and its corresponding percentages.

7.1 What are the required/prescribed textbooks?

Wala pong prescribed na textbook/s for the licensure board exam (like in any board exams) since each school uses different textbooks. Up until now wala pa rin pong Industrial Psychology textbook na authored ng isang Filipino Psychologist widely available sa mga bookstores and used as textbook in the Philippines - correct us if we are wrong.

7.2 What is outcome-based assessment?

Dr. Imelda Virgina G. Villar, Board Member of the Board of Psychology of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in her presentation at the Orientation for the Psychology Licensure Exam held on 18 June 2014, she informed a full packed PSSC Auditorium that Psychology will be the first profession to offer Outcome-based Board Exam in the Philippines. Aside from the Board Licensure Examination for Psychologists and Psychometricians (BLEPP) being implemented this coming October for the first time is another milestone in the history of Psychology in the Philippines.

Use Wikipedia as your Review Material for Psychometrician Licensure Exam

(Image Source - http://us.123rf.com/450wm/radiantskies/radiantskies1301/radiantskies130101036/17197657-abstract-word-cloud-for-validity-with-related-tags-and-terms.jpg)

Wikipedia is definitely the most accessible source of information too many of us with internet connection. Who needs books and text book anyway? But of course the academe will frown on you if you would insist on using wikipedia alone and not the scientific canon! So for psychometrician licensure exam reviewers, to resolve such issue, it is always good to check and refer back to your text books. Make sure though that you also get the latest text book at least published 3-5 years back. Psychology is a dynamic field of study that continue to evolve with the latest discoveries and scientific researches.

This is where wikipedia comes handy, the content is updated instantaneously, unlike books that will take time to get revised, but now online versions of text books (e-books) are also now available and you can get updated version from the sites of the publishers, well the disadvantage of course is the costs.

Just to cite an example, in college in the 1990s, 2-3 decades ago, validity has a different meaning with what has evolved in late 20th century (makes me feel so ancient like a dinosaur). So there is now a different reinterpretation of test validity: a traditional view/classical models and current view/modern models for validity as it is used and understood in psychological testing.

So compare Test Validity on:

wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_validity

with what is on your textbook - (? year)

and that of a later version of textbook say by Miller, McIntire, Lovler (2011), citing the studies of Brennan, Kane, Goodwin and Leech among others.

or even a powerpoint presentation Psychometric Principles by Professor John Rust Powerpoint Presentation for the Summer School 2009, Professor John Rust, University of Cambridge http://psychometricpinas.blogspot.com/2014/01/psychometric-principles-by-professor.html

well even the text book by Philippine authors Munarriz and Cervera (2013) still discussed the classical model on test validity.

But then again it is good to know both models, the old and the new and application-wise we would know better which should prevail and more appropriate as concept and in our practice.

So my advise, maximize your internet access and read/review using wikipedia, but double check and refer back to your text book and make sure you get to compare it with a later edition. Supplement your readings with what other materials you can find online from the website of psych organizations (PAP, APA, etc), free online journals, scientific articles, and of course this blog, and even facebook, etc.

And to have some focus on what to read and review refer to this older blog post -

Happy reviewing!
