  3. Interpret Instant Feedback -

    Review detailed explanations for each eppp test question to deepen your understanding and clarify misconceptions.

  4. Evaluate Your Performance -

    Track your results on the 24-question eppp sample test to identify strengths and areas needing further review.

  5. Strengthen Psychological Knowledge -

    Reinforce core concepts through varied sample eppp exam questions for comprehensive exam readiness.

  6. Build Exam-Day Confidence -

    Gain familiarity with eppp test questions and format to approach the real exam with self-assurance.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Classical Test Theory: Reliability vs. Validity -

    Understanding reliability (consistency) and validity (accuracy) is critical for the EPPP. Remember Cronbach's alpha (α ≥ .70 is acceptable) and Pearson's r for interrater reliability, and link validity types (content, criterion, construct) to real-world examples. Mnemonic "RAVe" (Reliable Always Validates evidence) can help you keep them straight during eppp practice questions.

  2. APA Ethical Principles -

    Familiarize yourself with the five general principles from the APA Ethics Code: Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, Justice, and Fidelity. Use the phrase "Be Not Afraid, Justice Follows" to quickly recall each concept when tackling eppp sample exam questions. Realistic vignettes in APA case studies will sharpen your application skills.

  3. Inferential Statistics: t-Tests vs. ANOVA -

    Differentiate when to use an independent-samples t-test (two groups) versus ANOVA (three or more groups). Recall that F = MSbetween/MSwithin in ANOVA and t = (M1 - M2)/SEdiff in t-tests. Practice these formulas on sample eppp test questions to cement your statistical reasoning.

  4. Developmental Milestones: Piaget's Stages -

    Review Piaget's four stages - Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational - and link each to age ranges. A handy mnemonic is "Smart Penguins Can Fly" to trigger Sensorimotor (0 - 2), Preoperational (2 - 7), Concrete (7 - 11), Formal (11+). Use these for quick recall on eppp sample questions about cognitive development.

  5. DSM-5 Diagnostic Mnemonic: SIGECAPS -

    For Major Depressive Disorder, remember SIGECAPS (Sleep, Interest, Guilt, Energy, Concentration, Appetite, Psychomotor, Suicidal). You need at least five of nine symptoms over two weeks, per DSM-5 criteria. This mnemonic is indispensable for rapid diagnosis in free eppp practice tests.
