What must an applicant do after failing either part of the EPPP three times?

After failing either part of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) three times, an applicant is required to earn additional educational credentials. Specifically, they must complete 3 hours of graduate-level coursework prior to being eligible to retake the exam. This requirement is in place to ensure that the applicant has taken the time to enhance their knowledge and skills, which could increase their chances of passing in future attempts.

Successfully meeting this educational requirement demonstrates a commitment to professional growth and an understanding of the material necessary for the practice of psychology. It also serves as a safeguard for public safety, ensuring that those who may not have initially met the standards have an opportunity to improve their competencies before attempting the examination again.

Other options may suggest actions that do not align with the established requirements set forth by the licensure boards, making the completion of graduate coursework the correct path to take for those in this situation.
