Examination
To complete the formal application, the applicant must also:
- Present evidence of a passing score on the Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology (EPPP).
(a) A passing score is any score which falls at or above one-half standard deviation below the mean score obtained on that test administration by doctoral level psychologists taking the test for the first time or;
(b) The South Carolina Board's passing scaled score for the computerized examination is 500. This scaled score of 500 is equivalent to the criterion-referenced passing score of 140 (70%) which was applied to the anchor form of the examination and was adopted by the ASPPB as a recommended passing score for independent practice as a psychologist.
If the EPPP was taken in South Carolina, scores will automatically be reported to the Board. If the EPPP was taken in another state, scores must be officially reported through the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) at the following address/telephone number:
