You're not done yet

As if the national Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) weren't enough, many states require additional tests—which often come with additional costs—to become fully licensed. Here's a sampling:

Arkansas Arkansas: You'll have to pass an oral examination, given four times a year, covering APA ethics and the rules and regulations of the Arkansas Psychology Board. You'll pay $200 when you take the exam. However, this is a one-time cost assessed for licensure, not for the exam.

California California: You must pass the California Psychology Supplemental Examination, taken via computer at a contracted test center. The exam, which costs $129, consists of 115 multiple-choice questions on crisis and clinical assessment and evaluation, treatment interventions and legal and ethical standards.

Arkansas Florida: You'll have to pass the Florida Laws and Rules examination via computer at a local test center. This $75 exam consists of 45 multiple-choice questions on state statutes.

Indiana Indiana: If you're applying for licensure in Indiana, you'll need to pass the Indiana state jurisprudence exam before you're authorized to take the EPPP. The multiple-choice and true-false test covers the statutes and rules of the Indiana State Psychology Board. The exam's cost is included in the fees assessed by the state board for the EPPP.

Maryland Maryland: You'll need to sign up for the monthly Maryland State Exam, which costs $200 and tests students on laws affecting psychology practice in Maryland.
