Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology

Abstract

Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) taken by professional (Vail Model) graduates had a failure rate of 30.82% in contrast to 7.60% for EPPP licensing exams taken by traditional (Boulder Model) graduates of clinical psychology programs . Thus, exams taken by professional graduates were 4.06 more likely to result in failure. It was acknowledged that it is not known whether EPPP performance is related to psychotherapy outcome.
