Ch-ch-ch-changes!

As some of you probably know (especially if you're reading this in like 2015--I hope I have a job then!--and it's probably changed big-time or it's a virtual-reality tx module or something) the EPPP is going to be slightly different come August 1st, 2011. Oddly enough, that's my birthday. Anyways...

The changes include having only 175 of the 225 total questions count toward your total score. The percentage for passing is still at 70%, and my calculator tells me that is 122.5 or 123 questions right. MH had a great question about the change in percentages/breakdown of the subjects. The ASPPB peeps have published the updates, which are fairly nominal (see pg. 22 to start the info on the subject breakdown). Also, I'm posting a message from the EPPP Prep group where someone said it so succinctly.


An interesting change

While looking through test data wondering about how the test will change in
August, I found an interesting site:
According to ASPPB the test will have the following weights

Biological Bases of Behavior   12% (up 1 % from last year)
Cognitive-Affective                  13% (same as last year)
Social And Cultural                  12% (same as last year)
Growth & lifespan                    12% (down 1% from last year)
Assessment                              14% (same as last year)
Treatment, Intervention              14% (down 1% from last year)
Research methods                      8% (up 1% from last year)
Ethics                                        15% (same as last year)

which suggests more focus on Research methos and Biological Bases of Behavior.

Interesting,
