National Psychology Licensing Examination (NPLEX)

The National Psychology Licensing Examination (NPLEX) is a standardized test that psychology graduates must pass to become licensed practitioners. It assesses their knowledge of core psychological theories, clinical practice, ethics, and legal considerations to ensure competence and preparedness for independent practice. The exam typically includes multiple-choice questions, case studies, and clinical scenarios. Passing the NPLEX is a crucial step in obtaining licensure, which allows psychologists to provide licensed mental health services legally and ethically within their jurisdiction.
