Baseline Data: Survey Result as of May 2015

Another batch of respondents with our ongoing survey for BLEPP 2015. The trend or result of this survey is an iteration of the earlier survey result last April.

Like in the earlier survey there are more first timers than repeaters.

Consistent with the previous result, more females than males.

Majority of respondents are in their early 20's.

Most respondents who are first timers are also graduates this year - 2015.

BS Psychology is the dominant course among the respondents.

Combining aided review through school/in-house or review centers/distance review

would equal in number with those doing self-review. Similar to last year's survey result, many

are self-reliant with their review. It is interesting to note that all of the repeaters from this

batch of survey respondents are doing self-review.

Majority of the respondents are or will be pursuing graduate studies in Psychology.

Desired Specialization/Field of Graduate Studies
(Note: some are still undecided writing only schools they are interested to apply or responding with 2 choices of field of specializations.)

Unlike in the past when most Psychology graduates would take up units in Education and major in Guidance and Counseling there's a trend now of graduates doing their MA or intend to enroll in Clinical Psychology. Given that there's now a licensure exam also for Psychologists. So we foresee a trend of more Psychology graduates going to take up their MA or MS in Clinical Psychology.
