1. The Board will administer a state
examination to each applicant for a license as a psychologist.
2. The state examination will consist of
questions addressing the practice of professional psychology, including,
without limitation, federal and state laws, ethical principles and codes of
professional conduct relevant to the practice of psychology in this State. At
least 30 days before the state examination, the Board will furnish a
description of the content to be covered in the state examination to each
applicant.

within 10 days after receiving written notice of the failure.
4. An applicant who fails the state
examination:
(a) Once or twice may retake the
state examination.

and obtains approval from the Board to retake the state examination for a
fourth time. The applicant must submit to the Board a written request to retake
the state examination and a written plan explaining the steps the applicant
will take to pass the state examination. The Board will approve the request to
retake the state examination if the Board determines that the written plan
submitted by the applicant is likely to result in the applicant passing the
state examination.

state examination. The Board will, if good cause is shown, approve the
request.

the state examination must be paid before the state examination is
administered. A fee must be paid each time the applicant takes the state
examination.
