CPSE STUDY SCHEDULE AND EXPECTED PROGRESS TO OPTIMIZE CPSE PERFORMANCE

What follows is the recommended sequence of steps for studying and taking the CPSE tests.

1) CPSE PRETEST -- Study Mode

2)  READ AND REVIEW the Study Materials for the California Psychology Supplemental Examination (CPSE) – Main Handout
