CPSE TEST B -- 75 items
(The remaining 25 items are currently under development)
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING ON CPSE TEST B!
General Information: CPSE Test B currently consists of 75 items covering the four CPSE domains (Crisis Assessment and Intervention, Clinical Assessment and Evaluation, Treatment Interventions, Legal and Ethical Standards). Ideally, Test B should be taken for the first time after completing all other CPSE Practice Tests and after thoroughly reading the CPSE Study Volume at least once, or even twice. A score of 60+ out of 75 is a strong starting score.
You will be able to take CPSE Test B three times: Study Mode, Retake Mode, and Test Mode. You will be able to review your results as often as you like.
STUDY MODE: It is strongly recommended the first time you take CPSE Test B, you complete the test in Study Mode. In Study Mode, CPSE Test B is currently broken into three parts (25 questions in each part).
The test software will prompt you to review the rationale for each question immediately after completing the question; you should take the time to thoroughly review and study the rationale. On average it should take about 1 hour to complete and study EACH part in Study Mode. Students who rush to complete the test are at a tremendous disadvantage in terms of both learning the content and developing test-taking skills.
RETAKE MODE: We recommend you wait to take CPSE Test B in Retake Mode for about 1 - 2 weeks after completing CPSE Test B in Study Mode. In Retake Mode, all 75 items are presented. The test software will again prompt you to review the rationale for each question immediately after completing the question. A question missed in Retake Mode represents a personal red flag, a question you may miss on the actual exam unless you take some action! Allow 2 - 3 hours to complete CPSE Test B in Retake Mode. It is expected that you will miss fewer than half as many items in Retake Mode as you missed in Study Mode.
TEST MODE: You should complete the test in Test Mode about 1 - 2 weeks after Retake Mode. In Test Mode, all 75 test items are presented, and you must complete all items before you will have the opportunity to review the rationales. Allow 2 hours to complete the items in Test Mode. In is expected that you should score at least 70/75 in Test Mode.
All of your test results (test scores as well as test items, answers you selected, correct answers, detailed rationales) are stored and can be reviewed by either entering www.quia.com/web into your Internet browser, or by clicking the Useful link below: 'Review Tests.'
