With a plethora of study materials available to prepare for the EPPP, one would think that if an individual dedicates sufficient time, the exam should be a breeze. So why is it such a challenge? Simply put, it’s a lot of information and Provisional Psychologists have busy lives. Most individuals should expect to spend approximately 250 hours studying. In addition to utilizing the various commercial exam preparation materials, there are countless study strategies that boost an individual’s retention and mastery of information.
This workshop is designed to go beyond the study materials, reviewing and practicing techniques to maximize retention of key concepts using evidence-based strategies. Workshop participants will expand their repertoire of learning tactics, gaining insight into the importance of matching strategy to content format, as well as the value of utilizing humour and creativity to boost memory.
