California Board of Psychology · Official Statistics
Decades of pass rates for the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology in California — month by month, year by year, straight from the Board's published data.
Current year-to-date pass rate, plotted against every year the Board has on record.
The Board publishes overall and first-time pass rates, but we never see the pass rate for people retaking the exam. Subtracting first-timers from the Board's own totals reveals the pass rates for multiple/repeat test-takers. This data is important to know in order to address the needs of multiple test-takers and validate their experiences.
The dashed line marks the all-time average, so each year's position above or below the historical norm is visible at a glance. First-time and repeat-taker breakdowns begin in 2009, when the Board started publishing first-timer counts. The most recent year is year-to-date and keeps filling in as the Board reports new months.
