Question 1

How does PsychPrep’s subscription work?

Accepted Answer

Your PsychPrep subscription does not begin upon purchase. Rather, it starts once you log into your online account at lms.psychprep.com and click on any of the online content. Your subscription expires three months after you click on any content, regardless of how much time you have spent on your online account. If you know you will not be able to access your account for an extended period, please email the office at info@psychprep.com and we can freeze your subscription.

The CPLEE program is set to automatically renew once the subscription expires. Automatic renewal can be canceled at any time. To do so, log into your account at lms.psychprep.com, find your name in the top right corner, click ‘my account’, click the ‘subscription’ tab, then click the red ‘cancel auto-renew’ button.

Important Note: Renewal of your PsychPrep package must occur within 30 days of subscription expiration to be eligible for the discounted renewal rate.

PsychPrep’s online access is authorized for the registered user only; access is non-transferable. If you have passed (regardless of time since purchase) your subscription with PsychPrep will be terminated.

PsychPrep’s subscription is purposefully designed for you to take each test and quiz three times—once in study mode, once in retake mode, and once in test mode—to ensure you are truly mastering the content versus memorizing the questions. Our tests are not set to be taken an unlimited number of times. If targets are not met, additional access can be requested by emailing us at info@psychprep.com.

Question 2

I’ve purchased the CPLEE program. How do I access it?

Accepted Answer

You can access everything included in your subscription at lms.psychprep.com. Please use the email address and password you created upon purchase to sign into your account. For a shortcut, click ‘Test Login’ at the top corner of the menu bar.

We recommend you start with PsychPrep’s ‘EPPP Strategies Seminar Handouts and Videos’ located in the ‘EPPP -- Get Started Here!’ section and review the study schedule for your package. Both are located on the homepage of your learning portal.

Question 3

How does the audio download work?

Accepted Answer

Once you log into your online account at lms.psychprep.com, find the section labeled ‘CPLEE Program Downloads’ on your LMS homepage. Click the second tab ‘CPLEE Workshop Audio (mp3s),’ to find an overview of the CPLEE Workshop Audio and 32 audio tracks. Then click ‘Download All’ in the top right corner. We strongly recommend you do the initial download on your computer using the Google Chrome web browser. The audio recording can only be downloaded once, however, once downloaded, the audio can be transferred and listened to from your device of choice. The audio can also be listened to online, while your subscription is active.

If you experience any trouble with your download, please email us at info@psychprep.com or call 800-779-2480.

Question 4

I’ve purchased PsychPrep’s CPLEE Program, but I cannot start studying right away. Can I wait to access my program? When does my subscription period start?"

Accepted Answer

Your PsychPrep subscription does not begin upon purchase. Rather, it starts once you log into your online account at lms.psychprep.com and click on any of the online content. Your subscription will expire three months from then.

Question 5

What is PsychPrep’s renewal fee? How do I extend my subscription? How do I turn off the automatic renewal?

Accepted Answer

PsychPrep’s CPLEE program can be renewed for $75 per month once the initial subscription has expired. The program is set to automatically renew. This feature can be turned off. To do so, log into your account at lms.psychprep.com, find your name in the top right corner, click ‘my account’, click the ‘subscription’ tab, then click the red ‘cancel auto-renew’ button.

Question 6

If I need to take an extended break from studying, what should I do?"

Accepted Answer

If you need to take an extended break from studying, please email us at info@psychprep.com or give us a call at 800-779-2480. We understand that things may come up; we are happy to freeze your subscription if necessary. Once you resume studying, you will have as much time remaining on your subscription as you did before your account was frozen.

Your monthly renewal can be frozen as well. If you need to take an extended break from studying during your renewal period, just let us know.

Question 7

Is there a specific way I should take PsychPrep’s tests?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend you start your study process with PsychPrep’s ‘Optimizing your CPLEE Preparation,’ located in the ‘Getting Started with PsychPrep’s CPLEE Program’ section.

PSYCHPREP has intentionally designed a specific order for taking the tests that ensures mastery of earlier test questions and contributes to higher scores on subsequent tests. You will be able to take each of the tests three times: once in Study Mode or Workshop Mode, once in Retake Mode, and once in Test Mode. Time permitting, it is strongly recommended that for all tests you first complete the test in Study Mode or Workshop Mode, then Retake Mode (about one week later), then Test Mode (about one week after Retake Mode). The testing schedule is set up to intersperse tests in Study Mode, Retake Mode, and Test Mode. Do not complete all tests in Study Mode first, then all tests in Retake Mode, etc.

We recommend you take about 4 hours to complete each test in Study Mode (thoroughly reviewing the answers and rationales as you take the test), about 2-3 hours to complete each test in Retake Mode (thoroughly reviewing the answers and rationales as you take the test), and 2 hours to complete each test in Test Mode (reviewing all the answers and rationales after completing the entire test).

After you have completed each test, it is a good idea to study all items on that test again. Read each question without looking at the rationale. Try to use your own words to explain why the correct response is correct, and the incorrect responses are incorrect. Then read over the rationale before moving on to the next question. Review the test repeatedly until you can successfully explain each rationale (without looking at it). Then set the test aside and don’t look at it again until you are ready to retake it.

Question 8

Why are target scores important? What are the target scores on PsychPrep’s tests? What do I do if I have taken some or all of the tests and have not hit the target scores?

Accepted Answer

Meeting target scores is the strongest predictor of CPLEE success. Target scores serve as guideposts, that let you know when you are on track and when additional action or change is necessary. Keep in mind, a target score is only an accurate indicator when a test is taken without referring to any notes, readings, or other resources (i.e., “closed book”).

PsychPrep provides first time, second time, and third time target scores for the CPLEE Workshop Questions, Test 1, Test 2, and the bonus questions. While there are no first-time targets for the CPLEE pretest, the second-time and third-time target scores apply.

First time target scores
CPLEE Workshop Questions – The target is 50+/75.
CPLEE Test 1 – The target is 75+/100.
CPLEE Test 2 – The target is 80+/100.
CPLEE Bonus Questions – The target is 16+/20.

Second time target scores
When taking each test for the second time, the target is to miss fewer than half as many questions, as were missed the first time.

Third time target scores
When taking a test for the third time, the target is 100%, indicative of mastery.

Generally, a score that is just a few points below target is not cause for concern— make sure to master all your missed items and try to determine what minor adjustments may be needed.
First time scores significantly below target suggest challenges with test-taking.

Second time scores significantly below target suggest that steps were likely skipped when the test was taken for the first time. Ask yourself, “Did I reflect on my test-taking approach on each question?” “Did I identify what specifically contributed to getting each question correct or incorrect?” “Did I get to a place where I could articulate why the correct response was right and each incorrect response was wrong for all questions?” “Did I take the time to master the content covered in each question?”

Third time scores significantly below target are almost always linked to missing the target on second time scores and not correcting the underlying issues.

If you have any questions about your progress, please email us at info@psychprep.com.

Question 9

How do I know if I’m ready to test?

Accepted Answer

First-time target scores are the best indicator of CPLEE readiness. Scoring 50+/75 on the workshop questions, 75+/100 on Test 1, and 80+/100 on Test 2 are strong predictors of CPLEE success. Keep in mind, a target score is only an accurate indicator when a test is taken without referring to any notes, readings, or other resources (e.g., without looking up words or concepts).

When first-time score benchmarks have been met and all missed items have been mastered, you can test confidently. If you have any concerns about your readiness to test, please email us at info@psychprep.com.

Question 10

Are private, virtual consultations available? How do I schedule one?"

Accepted Answer

To set up a consultation please email our office at info@psychprep.com to get more information on rates and availability. Since the CPLEE tests your ability to think critically about core concepts, the focus of the consultation will be on improving test-taking skills that you can continue to use throughout your studies (e.g., how to decipher the questions, what to do when two answers seem correct, etc.).

Question 11

What should I do if I’ve been studying with PsychPrep and I failed the CPLEE?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry to hear you did not pass the CPLEE. Please email info@psychprep.com to let us know. Dr. Sharon Jablon will review your PsychPrep testing profile and will provide you with feedback and recommendations to help you pass on your next attempt.
