EPPP Secrets Study Guide: EPPP Exam Review for the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology

Great study guide. Offers key methods to prepare for the exam itself and covers each compone t of the EPPP in an easy to navigate way that is too the point and succinct.

The content is very comprehensive, I like that it covers a broad amount of topics. I am still studying for the test. I would have liked to see more test questions otherwise a great study guide very detailed and helpful.Dr. K

This is the second book I am reading for my exam prep. And, I got amazed how these books cover the material I didn't find in expensive programs. I think this is a good book to learn the EPPP in a different angle as it gives you the types of information we cannot find in expensive programs. But, we should not only base on this book for the exam preparation as well as it does not give us the info we find in expensive programs. Thus, it needs to be complemented with the expensive programs. This way we will be better prepared for the exam.

If only could give this zero stars!! This "guide" is useless in preparing for the EPPP. What should have been a red flag is that unlike other study materials, there's no indication of what they're basing the content on (e.g., previous test questions). Other reviewers have commented that it only scratches the surface of what you need to know-- this is overly generous! Then there are sections that are way too simplistic or are completely irrelevant to what the EPPP is like.Examples of irrelevancy:- descriptions of illicit substances- "vaccines" for ETOH and drug addiction- frequencies of different brain waves- gold diggers (yes, really there is a section here on the gold digger stereotype)Missing the boat:- underemphasizes importance of psychopharmacology terms (e.g., agonists), meds (e.g., TCAs), & of knowing trade names vs generic names- inaccurate info re: typical antipsychotics and stimulant meds (e.g., NO provider would prescribe Adderall as a weight loss drug!)- incomplete info on CC and OC (e.g., you have to be able to distinguish positive vs negative reinforcement vs punishment)- they provide NO information needed to answer questions re: MMPI (see photo), intelligence or disability tests- Yalom isn't even mentioned!!- Little to no information on making DSM-5 diagnosesPerhaps-- and only perhaps-- this would be an ok book if <$20 and only if you were buying other materials. But I guarantee you would never pass the EPPP using this guide alone or even as a primary resource.

For take te EPPP exam. It has tips for you to study better and get more done.

It's okay for reviewing some of the materials, but not all of the materials are thorough.

Easy to read format with extra support via sample tests and flash cards (sold separately)

Originally I gave this 5 stars and an amazing review. My first impression were that it was a very succinct and comprehensive book on the EPPP material. After using the book for over a month and then taking and failing the EPPP I have to change my review. This book really just scratches the surface of the material actually on the test. Granted I only studied for a month before taking the test but I actually decided to switch study materials at the last second because it just didn't feel comprehensive enough. Some people's reviews share that it was a perfect booster for them, which could be the case if you already feel very confident but this is not for a well-rounded and in-depth preparation. I also kept discovering typos, misprints a repeats of information. The information is obviously a composite of many sources of info and it seems they did very little editing to make sure everything flowed or went together. The positive thing I'll say is that the customer service was amazing and really nice people. Still I can't recommend this.
