Am I Ready for the EPPP? What 36 Reported Results Can Tell Us
Twenty-three members have now told us they passed the EPPP. Thirteen have told us they did not. Those are reported outcomes, not a pass rate: we do not know the results of everyone who used the program or everyone who took the exam.
This is an update to an earlier analysis, and it changes the advice. We previously described 83% on a full-length practice exam as a number every passer we could measure had reached. New reports no longer support that statement.
What the new results changed
Three members have now passed with a highest recorded full-length practice score under 80% before the real exam: 72%, 77%, and 78%. Another member did not pass despite reaching about 91% before the real exam. What their real scores showed is in Practice Scores Tracked the Margin, Not the Pass.
Those are their best recorded pre-exam scores. This goes beyond the earlier story about a last-minute practice-score drop: the passer in that story had previously reached the 90s. None of the three had reached 83% on any recorded full-length attempt before test day.
The practice-score ranges now overlap across the two outcomes. A single cutoff cannot cleanly separate passing from not passing in these reports. The older claim that every non-pass happened before the member joined is also no longer supported by the dated reports.
What we can actually analyze
The September 19 review covers all 36 reported outcomes, including one anonymous, count-only report. We count a recorded practice attempt as full-length when it has at least 150 questions. For this comparison, we use only attempts dated before the reported real exam; same-day attempts are excluded because we do not know the exam time.
| Available information | Passed | Did not pass |
|---|---|---|
| All reported outcomes | 23 | 13 |
| Exam date and recorded pre-exam full-length practice scores | 12 | 1 |
| Exam date, but no recorded pre-exam full-length practice attempt | 1 | 4 |
| No exam date recorded | 9 | 8 |
| Anonymous report after account deletion; no study analysis | 1 | 0 |
Of the twelve passers with dated pre-exam full-length scores, nine reached a rounded 83% or higher. Three peaked at 72%, 77%, and 78%. Four more passers left the date off their report but have one saved in their profile; with them, it is thirteen of sixteen. The one non-pass reporter with dated pre-exam full-length scores peaked at 91%.
Missing history stays missing. It does not mean someone never studied, never took a practice exam elsewhere, or used our program in a particular way. Practice activity after a failed attempt is not evidence about preparation before that attempt.
These reports are self-selected, and we cannot verify every practice condition or see all preparation elsewhere. Different question sets may also differ in difficulty. This is not a validated prediction tool or evidence that a particular study habit caused an outcome.
One pass has no study analysis
One member told us they passed after their account data had been deleted. Their report adds one to the total, but we have no study history to analyze. We have not restored the account or recovered its study data. The tally retains only an anonymous pass result, without a name, score, exam date, or account identifier.
Your study data belongs to you. If you ask us to delete it or not use it for model training, we will respect that choice. Contributing a success story or study analysis is not a condition of using the program. We will not reconstruct deleted study data to make a marketing story more complete.
You can request account deletion or email DrChan@thepsychology.ai about deletion or model-training preferences. Our privacy policy explains how to contact us and how we handle your data.
How to use your next practice score
A practice score can help you choose what to work on. It cannot guarantee what will happen on test day.
Open your latest practice exam and choose three questions you missed or guessed correctly. For each one, explain why your answer seemed plausible, what you overlooked, and why the correct answer fits. Then try a fresh question on the same concept.
Review the domain breakdown and your experience of the full session too. Where did you struggle with the content? Where did you run short on time? Which answers came from understanding, and which came from recognizing a question you had already seen?
A high overall score still deserves a look at the misses. A low score gives you specific questions to investigate. Use the result alongside your broader preparation and circumstances, rather than treating a single percentage as permission to book or a reason to give up.
Keep the reports coming, either way
If you have taken the real exam, you can tell us how it went without agreeing to have your name, score, or comments published. Permission to use a testimonial is a separate choice.
The reports that challenge an earlier finding are valuable. They are how advice gets corrected. If you are still preparing, open your dashboard and use your next review to find something specific you can improve.
