New Test Vendor Update

Psychological Services, LLC (PSI) has begun scheduling and administering the Board of Behavioral Sciences licensing examinations. Once the Board determines that you are eligible to sit for an examination, you will receive a candidate handbook from PSI within two weeks. The handbook will contain the necessary information that you will need to schedule your appointment as well as the procedures for scheduling.

It has come to the attention of the Board that some candidate handbooks may have been distributed reflecting an incorrect eligibility expiration date. Please remember that if you are a FIRST TIME APPLICANT your examination eligibility expires one year from the date of original eligibility. If you are a RE-EXAMINATION APPLICANT your eligibility expires one year from the date of your last exam. Your eligibility information can be verified by contacting the Board.

When scheduling you will need to provide PSI with your name, social security number, and file number. If you are currently eligible and have not received a candidate handbook within two weeks of your initial eligibility date, are unsure of yourfile number, or if you have problems or difficulties when scheduling or taking an exam, please contact the Board at (916) 574-7830.

If you have any comments or concerns regarding PSI, please e-mail the Board at BBSWebmaster@bbs.ca.gov.
