Facebook Page for Philippine Psychometrician Reviewer is temporary offline

Many are asking what happened to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/psychometricianreviewer)  it is currently offline. We will reactivate the FB page once the result is out. We are also trying to prevent discussion on the licensure exam's content so we do not break on our oath of non-disclosure. Well we believe that you discuss it with your classmates, reviewmates, friends and family members but we do not want it to happen on our FB page and on this site. But definitely we are interested to know how was your experience with this historic event. We will be posting blog posts about it in our next posts.

Next week will be back and hope that you can be part of the initiatives we have in the pipeline. Until then...

Good luck and kita-kits as oath taking

A blessed Sunday to all! 

As we all wind up our review, we would like to share to our new likers some of the posts we made previously about the kind of exam announced during the orientation by the PRC Psychology Board and several links for strategies in answering multiple choice exam.

I would also like to thank all our dedicated co-admins of our Facebook page who shared their time, effort and creativity in making our page more fun, interesting, interactive and informative. We also would like to thank all of you readers and FB likers for having actively participated and exchanged with us. We hope in our small ways we were able to be of help to inform and update, shared quizzes and links, among others for this first ever Board Licensure Examination for Psychometrician.  

We wish everyone good luck and good wishes and may we all see each other at the oath taking comes December 2014.

So, at your leisure time try to read some of the links below which might be of help to you. From our FAQ:

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.

Person with disability to take the 2014 Licensure Exam for Psychometrician

This should inspire us all, a person with disability (PWD), a blind woman is going to take the licensure exam. This  is another historic event for this board exam. She must be really talented for finishing up a degree in Psychology at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM).

I wish her to pass the exam, to inspire those of us without disabilities and those with disabilities, that we too can also pass the exam. I am happy and congratulate the Psychology Board and PRC for not not discriminating, instead allowing a PWD in taking the board exam, indeed everyone deserves to be registered and licensed, provided they pass the exam,  no matter what the person's physical condition is.

We have been receiving private messages in our Facebook page of individuals whose names are not on the list, below is our suggestion, while awaiting for official reply from PRC. Please not that tomorrow, Friday, 24 October and Monday, 27 October are the only remaining working days before the exam:

Hey guys! I went to PRC this morning and apparently, those who submitted last Oct. 8 have not been included in the list. The list for the room assignments was computer generated daw and when they posted it, they haven't added the names of those who applied manually (PRC's system broke down last Oct. 8 so they had to process the applications manually). Anyway, all you have to do is go to PRC and show them your NOA and OR, and they'll include you in the list and give you your room assignment na. Like what Mr. Tino said, look for Ms. Jackie. She's very accommodating. Goodluck to us all! :)

Possible Venues based from the Criminologists Licensure Exam

Image sourc - http://scadmissions.com/pics/SAT.test.center-2.jpg

Looking at the School/Room assignment of the licensure exam for Criminologist at http://www.prc.gov.ph/uploaded/documents/CRIM1014ra_Mla.pdf  - this could also be the possible test/exam venues for Psychometrician exam as well. Examinees for the Criminologists totaled more than  5,586 (Pdf pages of 266 with average 21 examinees per page {highest number is 25}). We are projecting that for the Psychometrician licensure exam there would be more or less 6,000-9,000 examinees. So depending on the number of examinees and the distribution of surnames we can pattern the venues after the Criminologist licensure exam. 

Note that we are posting this room venues for you to familiarize yourself with the location of these testing centers. This is not the final testing centers for Psychometrician Licensure Exam. So try to use google map and locate these venues and familiarize yourself with landmarks and transport of those places. By next week we expect to have the final venue.
