(N is the total test takers, it is okay to take the quiz as many times you want and continue to use a single user name so we do not count your test as different person. Average score, average of all the results from among the test takers - there are few exceptional/high scores and low scores and majority of the middle scores). Will make a new blog entry with graphical presentations.

Industrial psychology - difficulty lies on the names and dates. Check the TOS and basing from it, the exam will be more theoretical not factual/historical. Will be making new quizzes that are more TOS compliant. Watch out for them!

We just created a google groups for our review. Please check your email for those who already signed up. Unfortunately if you are not using  gmail account you have to create one,  otherwise you will not be able to join the group.  Check your spam mail inbox for the invitation. 

What's the advantage of a google group? It will be much easier for us to go back to the discussions unlike in Facebook that it is so difficult to review and get back to the thread of the discussion because of new updates. Since this is an open forum and group discussion we hope that you can actively participate and interact with the rest of the members. Post questions and answer questions and give your opinions and ideas backed up with source and references to make it credible. We have to keep the focus and refrain spamming the group with unrelated topics, otherwise moderators will ban you.

For many of us doing self-review helping each other will make our review much better and easier.

Particular Emphasis on Psychological Assessment on your Review

Among the four subjects for the Psychometrician Licensure Exam, it is highly probable that Psychological Assessment will have the most items compared to the other three subjects: Abnormal Psychology, Theories of Personality and Industrial Psychology.

Well after all, the licensure exam is for Psychometrician and those who will be licensed should be adept in Psychometrics, Psychological Testing  and Psychological Assessment.

So if the rest of the subjects would be at 100 items each, with a percentage of 20%, then Psychological Assessment would be in the range of 130-160 items at 40%.

So what are the most likely topics from this subject? Kindly refer to this earlier post here - http://psychometricpinas.blogspot.com/p/chedcourse-specification.html


Also, be sure to cover the following areas shown in the infographics.
