Approximately 98% of respondents require the EPPP (Part 1—Knowledge) to obtain a license to practice as a psychologist.

EPPP (PART 1 – KNOWLEDGE)
The EPPP (Part 1—Knowledge) is developed and owned by ASPPB and provided to psychology licensing boards to assist them in evaluating the qualifications of applicants for licensure. Most jurisdictions require a passing score on the EPPP (Part 1—Knowledge) prior to licensure. In addition, the EPPP (Part 2 – Skills) was introduced in 2020 and is used to apply the knowledge tested in the EPPP (Part 1 – Knowledge) to decision-making in typical real-world, independent practice situations. Some jurisdictions also require you to achieve a passing score on the EPPP (Part 2 – Skills). Contact the jurisdiction in which you are seeking licensure to determine if you will be required to take the EPPP (Part 2 – Skills) exam.
