Psychology Examining Board
Subject:
S. Psy 2.08 - Relating to limiting the number of times an applicant may sit for the Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology without receiving further education or training.
Description of policy issues:
Description of objective of rule:
Under s. Psy 2.08, an applicant for licensure as a psychologist or school psychologist may currently sit for the examinations required by the board an indefinite number of times. This has resulted in a few applicants who have been reexamined as many as ten times without receiving a passing score. The objective of this rule is to require that after failing to achieve a passing grade on any examination after four tries, the applicant be required to apply to the board for permission to be reexamined a fourth time, and to demonstrate further education or training as the board may require.
Policy analysis:
When an applicant has taken the national Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology or the Examination on the Practice of School Psychology on four occasions and failed each time, there arises a presumption that the applicant may not be properly prepared to engage in the independent practice of psychology or school psychology until he or she receives further education or training. This rule would require that as a condition for being reexamined a fourth time, such applicants would be required to receive permission from the board and to demonstrate to the board that they have received further remedial education or training which in the opinion of the board addresses those areas in which the applicant has shown weakness. The Medical Examining Board has had a similar rule in place since 1976 and has found it to be an effective tool in assisting applicants to effectively address those areas of weakness which have caused repeated examination failures.
Statutory authority:
Sections 15.08 (5) (b), 227.11 (2) and 455.08, Stats.
Estimate of the amount of time that state employes will spend to develop the rule and of other resources necessary to develop the rule:
50 hours.
