Tips to Pass the Psychometrician Exam

Do you want some tips to help you pass the Psychometrician exam?

Without a doubt, passing the Psychometrician Licensure Exam requires tons of preparation, hard work, persistence, and determination. You will surely do your part. You will study long hours, read a lot of books, and answer hundreds of pages of reviewers.

But do you want to hear useful tips, this time straight from those who already passed the Psychometrician boards? Here’s our collection of the best insights and tips from Psychometrician passers and topnotchers themselves!

Check out and adopt the following tips which we compiled from Interspect.

Tip #1: Consider Your Big WHY

Unlike graduates of programs such as Education, Medicine and Accountancy, Psychology graduates are not obliged to take the board exam. Most of them can get hired and work at any setting of their choice without a Professional Psychometrician license.

So it is vital for you to consider why you are putting yourself in a similar situation in the first place. Why are you willing to allot your precious time and effort as well as risk failing a board exam? Truth be told, the journey is tough and the road gets really bumpy during the review period. Your BIG WHY will serve as an anchor, your foundation and the push that keeps you going no matter what.

Tip #2: Ensure Proper Nutrition and Sufficient Amount of Rest

What? Yep, you read it right. This may sound really odd to most people as it may appear unnecessary. There’s even a popular saying among students which goes “Ang tulog nababawi pero ang grades hindi.” (You can always get more sleep, but you can no longer change a failing grade.) People fail to realize the vital role of ensuring proper nutrition and sufficient rest plays in their lives.

Some reviewees prioritize the BLEPP review and postpone job hunting just to concentrate on their board exam preparations. However, most Psychology graduates get hired months after they’ve decided to take the test. No matter how busy you are, eating right and getting sufficient rest should still be one of your top priorities. Why? First, no matter how much information you try to squeeze into your brain, you will not be able to stay focused and learn efficiently if you are hungry or sleepy. Second, it could result to a weaker immune system and truth be told, you wouldn’t want to get sick specially weeks or days before the board exam.

Now I am not telling you to go vegetarian or complete the ideal 6-8 hours of sleep every single night. However, you must be able to at least maintain a balanced diet, intake Ascorbic Acid with Zinc for stronger immune system, and determine the number of hours your body needs for you to function normally, without feeling week or drowsy all day long. It pays to really get to know your body, identify your prime time and adjust your review schedule accordingly.

Tip #3: Divide Your Review Materials to Reasonably-sized Ones

What’s the use of possessing thick Psychology books if you constantly get overwhelmed to even open them? Procrastination often occurs when your brain perceives that the impending activity is too much for you to handle. You tend to put important tasks off when you feel that it is too tedious and resort to performing easier trivial ones first.

Break it down to smaller bits and pieces. Study one to two topics from your book or other review materials per study period and master it. Allot at least 30 minutes a day reading a particular topic online.

Tip #4: Make Necessary Sacrifices but Take a Break from Time to Time

Taking the BLEPP sure requires a lot of sacrifices. So before you decide to take the BLEPP, you should ask yourself: What are you willing to sacrifice to get your license? Whether it is a break from your Korean drama habit or even night out with friends, it is necessary to allot more time into studying to pass the board.

Now I am not telling you to live a solitary life in the mountains to focus on your review. You should also take a break from time to time. A scheduled break from your review is highly beneficial as it would enable you to enjoy your review period and refrain from feeling deprived all the time. Spending time with yourself (Me time) and your loved ones would be a good way to spend your pause as it would help you replenish your energy. A word of caution though, too much break time will not be beneficial for establishing a study habit.

Tip #5: Maintain a Support System

As mentioned earlier, not everyone are interested or willing to take the BLEPP. So some reviewees don’t even consider informing their friends or family that they are going to take it lest they won’t pass the exam. They think that it is better to keep it to themselves to save them from possible humiliation in the future.

However, it would actually be more favorable if you keep a support system while embarking on this journey. People who really care about you will be there whether you pass BLEPP or not. As humans, it is in our nature to feel down sometimes and these people could serve as your anchor, your foundation in times when even your BIG WHYs don’t seem to matter or make sense anymore. They will help you, cheer you on and pray for you.

You do not have to announce to everyone that you are taking the BLEPP. But don’t deprive yourself of people to lean on in this crucial period of your life either.

Useful PRC Links and Board Exam Resources:

PRC Room Assignments: Psychometrician Exam (Oct 2019)

If you see a “Now Available!” note beside the exam venue, it means the PRC already released the list for that province or city and you may now view the room assignment. If it is not yet available, the PRC is still finalizing the school and classroom details. We will update this post once the official Room Assignments are released.

Here are additional useful tips we suggest you follow before the exam.

1. You’ll notice that even in just one school, several buildings and classrooms will be used as testing centers. To make sure that you proceed to the correct location, write down and take note of the exact Building, Classroom, and Seat Number assigned to you.

2. Before the day of the board exam, find out the address of the school or venue where you’ll be taking the exam. Research the actual location using Google Maps or a guide map to determine how to get there.

3. Better yet, try visiting the venue a few days before the board exam! Doing so will help you discover the best transportation or routes to take. If you simulate going to the venue beforehand, you’ll also have an idea how long it will take you to reach the exam center from your place. This allows you to change your transportation plans, if needed.

4. On the day of the exam, don’t be late! According to the PRC, examinees who will be late will NOT BE ALLOWED to take the board exam. We suggest you arrive at the exam venue at least one (1) hour before the start of the exam. This gives you enough time to locate the building, classroom, and seat number assigned to you.

What happens if you did not show up or weren’t able to take the boards? The answer is in this article: I registered but I did not take the board exam.
