Schedule of BLEPP 2015


Schedule For BLEPP2015 - Psychometricians

Day 1 Theories of Personality
           Psychological Assessment

Day 2  Abnormal Psychology
           Industrial Psychology

For me this schedule and subject combinations are much better than last year, to have the toughest subject - Psychological Assessment paired with Theories of Personality and scheduled in the afternoon of Day 1. And for Day 2 it is a good combination of subjects.

Good luck to all examinees!


Salamat sa Psych Up Psychology Review Center for sharing the schedule.

Note: as of this time of posting (June 20, 2015/11:00 PM), the PRC website is not yet updated about this schedule. Same last year we got this print out from PRC but not yet reflected on their website. Perhaps it will be updated next week - http://www.prc.gov.ph/page.aspx?id=63

Collection of Trial Tests Banks Links for BLEPP 2015

Image source - http://trialtestbank.com/c/text-book-test-banks/psychology-test-banks/


These collection of trial tests banks were discovered online from this link  http://trialtestbank.com/c/text-book-test-banks/psychology-test-banks/  and we have put them together in this compilation. Sources of these tests are several textbooks in Psychology. The tests here cover the four subjects for the Psychometrician licensure exam. 

Since these textbooks were published abroad, their bias is of the context, culture and situation of the countries/authors where they were published (jurisprudence, policies, institutions, etc), so try to to make use only of those items that will be useful for your review.

We hope you can benefit from this.

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.

RCAP Manila (2)
RGO (9),  Cebu, PILRC Iligan City
Royal Pentagon
SPARK Psychology Review Center (11) (with Distance Learning)
SUCCEED Review Center, Bataan



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.
