Two Steps To EPPP Flashcards With SuperMemo
Previous Article: How To Make Flashcards Using SuperMemo
In our last article we learned how to create an effective EPPP flashcard. We discussed the details of writing the question and answer parts of the flashcard.
Today we will discuss the two very simple steps required to create EPPP flashcards in SuperMemo. Once created, the flashcards are automatically scheduled for review by SuperMemo for optimal learning and retention. Flashcards are a very important component of an effective EPPP study plan to pass the EPPP exam.
SuperMemo will help you learn faster! Spend just three minutes reading this page to be able to begin learning EPPP flashcards!
To begin, you only need to use two steps:
Add New Flashcard Screenshot
Start learning now! Initially you may doubt the power of SuperMemo. Trust it for 1-2 weeks and you will begin to understand it better. Add at least 50-100 questions-answer pairs related to EPPP content. See how SuperMemo schedules the flashcards for review.
Important! Learn will only ask you to review your EPPP flashcards after a few days. For that reason, spend your first days on adding new EPPP material for learning.
Step 1. Add new EPPP flashcards using Add new (Alt+A).
Step 2. Use Learn (Ctrl+L) daily to review only those flashcards scheduled by SuperMemo.
Your EPPP flashcards are a very important component of an effective EPPP study plan to pass the EPPP exam!
Update: We now recommend the use of Anki instead of SuperMemo. Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn. Anki offers free desktop versions, as well as the ability to study on your mobile devices! Study on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and any device with a web browser.

Why You Need Commercial EPPP Study Materials To Pass The Exam
Previous Article: Using Old Notes To Study For The EPPP Exam
To recap briefly, in the last article we explored using some of the materials you may already have available to pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology. Today we will explore other options to prepare for this important examination.
The Matter Of Time In EPPP Study
One of the major considerations in preparing for the EPPP exam is the significant amount of time that it will take you to review and memorize the large amount of material covered by the eight domains of the examination. Examinees literally will spend months to years preparing for the exam. When one is spending this much time on preparation the quality and organization of the materials that one is using becomes an important factor.
While old notes, notebooks, textbooks, and the easy availability of information on the Internet appear to be a reasonable choice for preparation, this is not the case. The reason, simply put, is time. Time is money. Every day, every hour, every week, or month, or in some cases every year, that you spend preparing to pass the EPPP exam is time taken away from earning money in your chosen career as a psychologist. Gathering up old notes and textbooks, and searching the Internet is a very time consuming and inefficient manner of studying for the test.
When you use old college notes and the Internet exclusively to prepare for the EPPP exam you do not know if you are studying the material that is likely to be on the test. You do not know if you are focusing on the correct percentage of material from each of the different content domains represented on the exam.
In the case of using your notes and the Internet, you are not certain that the material is accurate, or that it represents the most commonly accepted interpretation of the topic. Perhaps your professor had an idiosyncratic interpretation of some of the topics. Perhaps the Internet article you accessed presented an unconventional viewpoint. Neither old notes, nor the Internet represent the best use of your EPPP study time.
Commercial EPPP Study Materials
Your time is valuable. Free preparation materials are not really free once you count in the cost of the additional time spent finding and weeding through them, time wasted reviewing the wrong materials, and time wasted reviewing inaccurate materials.
On the surface, commercially available preparation materials are expensive. There is no question about it. With prices ranging from $600 to $2200 many examinees believe that these materials are overpriced. Yet, if you take into account the amount of time you save by using commercially available preparation programs, study guides, and flashcards commercial materials are well worth the price.
Types of EPPP Study Materials
Study aids available may include some or all of: printed volumes covering the topics of the EPPP topic areas, study guides, flashcards, CDs of lectures and workshops, paper and pencil practice exams, online practice exams, in person lectures and workshops, and email, telephone, and in person consultations. The materials usually include tips on study techniques. The specific materials that you obtain depend on the particular “package” of materials that you purchase from the test preparation vendor. Another study aid, not available from the major test prep retailers, is the speed learning software SuperMemo. This program is based on extensive research in memory and learning. It ensures that you remember 95% or more of the material you learn!
In our next article, in How To Pass The EPPP Exam Without Even Trying! we will discuss the main retailers of commercial preparation materials, and review one of the popular test preparation programs. Until next time, keep studying!

The Three Pillars Of How To Pass The EPPP Exam
There are three very important requirements to studying and passing the EPPP examination. These concepts may be thought of as the Three Pillars of How to Pass the EPPP Exam.
Pillar 1. Understand all of the concepts of the eight domains of knowledge covered by the EPPP. This is best accomplished through the use of commercial test preparation programs such as The Association for Advanced Training in the Behavioral Sciences (AATBS), Academic Review (AR), Taylor Method, and PsychPrep. The EPPP Flashcard Secrets, and the EPPP Secrets Study Guide are a good place to start.
Pillar 2. Memorize the theories, concepts, theorists, formulas, and key terms that are on the EPPP. This is best done using flashcard software. Be sure to use a flashcard program that is driven by an advanced learning algorithm.
Pillar 3. Learn test taking strategies specifically targeted towards the EPPP. The test taking strategies you learn should include techniques targeted to multiple choice exams such as: ruling out wrong answers, narrowing down choices, being aware of exception questions, exam pacing, and specific strategies for coping with lengthy exams populated with complex questions.
These concepts are discussed in greater detail throughout How to Pass the EPPP Exam Without Even Trying! Browse through this website to explore the many articles on how to implement these strategies. There is a lot of information here, so come back often.
Until we meet again remember to continue your EPPP study!
