1Which Philippine law is the primary legal basis for the regulation of the practice of psychology and the licensure of psychologists in the Philippines?
A.Republic Act No. 10029
B.Republic Act No. 9258
C.Republic Act No. 11036
D.Republic Act No. 8981
Explanation: Republic Act No. 10029, known as the 'Philippine Psychology Act of 2009,' created the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology under the PRC and defined the scope of practice, qualifications, and licensure requirements for psychologists in the Philippines. It regulates the use of the title 'Psychologist' and protects the public from unqualified practitioners.
2Under the enhanced Table of Specifications adopted by the Board of Psychology (Resolution No. 02, s. 2023), what is the percentage weight assigned to Advanced Psychological Assessment in the Psychologist Licensure Examination?
A.30%
B.25%
C.20%
D.15%
Explanation: Board of Psychology Resolution No. 02, s. 2023 assigned the highest weight—30%—to Advanced Psychological Assessment, reflecting the centrality of assessment competencies to professional psychology practice. This subject corresponds to 150 items out of 510 total examination items.
3A psychologist administers the same intelligence test to a client twice within a two-week interval and obtains nearly identical scores. This demonstrates which measurement property?
A.Test-retest reliability
B.Concurrent validity
C.Internal consistency
D.Predictive validity
Explanation: Test-retest reliability refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the same person on the same test across two different testing occasions. A high correlation between the two administrations indicates that the measure is stable over time and is not heavily influenced by random fluctuations.
4The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) uses a standard score metric with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. A client obtains a Full Scale IQ of 85. In which classification does this score fall?
A.Low Average
B.Average
C.Borderline
D.Mild Intellectual Disability
Explanation: On the Wechsler classification system, a Full Scale IQ of 85 falls in the 'Low Average' range, which spans from 80 to 89. This is one standard deviation below the mean of 100, placing the individual in approximately the 16th–24th percentile of the normative population.
5A test developer finds that a new depression scale correlates 0.82 with the Beck Depression Inventory administered on the same day. This evidence supports which type of validity?
A.Concurrent validity
B.Predictive validity
C.Content validity
D.Face validity
Explanation: Concurrent validity is established by correlating a new measure with a well-validated criterion measure administered simultaneously or very close in time. A high correlation (0.82) with the BDI, a gold-standard depression measure, supports that the new scale measures the same construct.
6The Rorschach Inkblot Method is best classified as which type of psychological assessment instrument?
A.Projective technique
B.Objective personality inventory
C.Neuropsychological battery
D.Structured clinical interview
Explanation: The Rorschach Inkblot Method is the most widely known projective technique. Respondents interpret ambiguous inkblot stimuli, and their responses are thought to reveal unconscious aspects of personality, cognitive style, and emotional functioning. The Exner Comprehensive System is the primary scoring system used.
7Which of the following best describes the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2)?
A.An empirically keyed, objective self-report inventory with validity scales designed to detect test-taking response sets
B.A projective technique relying on interpretation of ambiguous inkblots
C.A semi-structured interview that generates DSM-5 diagnoses
D.A performance-based measure of executive functioning
Explanation: The MMPI-2 is an empirically keyed, objective self-report personality inventory consisting of 567 true/false items. It contains multiple validity scales (e.g., L, F, K) that detect invalid responding, over-reporting, and under-reporting, along with 10 clinical scales and numerous content and supplementary scales used in clinical and forensic settings.
8In psychological assessment, the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) is used to construct a confidence interval around an obtained score. If a client scores 110 on an IQ test with an SEM of 5, the 68% confidence interval for the true score is approximately:
A.105 to 115
B.100 to 120
C.108 to 112
D.95 to 125
Explanation: The 68% confidence interval is constructed by adding and subtracting one SEM from the obtained score. With an obtained score of 110 and SEM of 5, the interval is 110 ± 5 = 105 to 115. This interval has a 68% probability of containing the true score, acknowledging that no single obtained score is a perfectly precise estimate.
9The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) asks respondents to create stories about ambiguous pictures. The TAT is theoretically grounded in which psychological tradition?
A.Psychodynamic theory, particularly the concept of projection of unconscious needs and conflicts
B.Behavioral theory, focusing on observable responses to visual stimuli
C.Cognitive theory, measuring information processing and schema activation
D.Humanistic theory, exploring the client's phenomenological world
Explanation: The TAT was developed by Henry Murray and Christiana Morgan and is rooted in psychodynamic theory. The assumption is that when people construct stories about ambiguous pictures, they project their own unconscious needs, conflicts, and motivational states into the narrative, revealing aspects of personality not accessible through direct questioning.
10A psychologist finds that a neuropsychological test battery correctly identifies 90% of patients who have a brain injury (true positive rate). This statistic is best described as the test's:
A.Sensitivity
B.Specificity
C.Positive Predictive Value
D.Negative Predictive Value
Explanation: Sensitivity (also called the true positive rate or hit rate) measures the proportion of individuals who actually have the condition that the test correctly identifies as positive. A sensitivity of 90% means the test correctly flags 90% of all brain-injured patients as having an injury.

To pass, examinees must achieve a General Weighted Average of at least 75% with no subject rating below 60%. Successful candidates earn the title Registered Psychologist (RPsy) and may practice psychology in clinical, counseling, educational, industrial-organizational, forensic, and community settings authorized under RA 10029.

BLEPP Study Tips from Top Performers

1Prioritize Advanced Psychological Assessment (30% weight): master psychometric theory, major intelligence tests (WAIS, SB5), personality instruments (MMPI-2 validity and clinical scales, Rorschach), and ethical/legal standards including RA 10173.
2For Psychological Assessment, practice interpreting standard scores, percentile ranks, and confidence intervals using the SEM—high-frequency exam content.
3For Advanced Abnormal Psychology, master DSM-5 criteria for each major disorder category and practice differential diagnosis with case vignettes. Know which specifiers (e.g., 'with peripartum onset,' 'with psychotic features') apply to which disorders.
4For Counseling and Psychotherapy, be able to identify the key techniques, core concepts, and target populations of at least 10 major therapeutic approaches. Know which evidence-based treatment is first-line for each major disorder (ERP for OCD, PE for PTSD, DBT for BPD, BA for depression).
5Know Sikolohiyang Pilipino: Virgilio Enriquez's framework, the concept of Kapwa as the core of Filipino identity, and the cultural understanding of hiya and other Filipino values in the context of psychological practice.
6For Theories of Personality, create a comparison matrix: for each theorist (Freud, Adler, Jung, Erikson, Rogers, Maslow, Bandura, Allport, Eysenck, Kelly, Kohut), know the key concept, the theoretical framework, the view of pathology, and the therapeutic application.
7Review RA 10029, RA 11036, and the Philippine Code of Ethics for Psychologists systematically—these laws appear across all four subject areas.
8Use timed practice sets and review every wrong answer by topic, relevant law or theory, and how the question relates to the official exam blueprint.
