NEW CBPS Overview (Board Qualified Before Fall 2020)

If you became Board Qualified before September 2020, you must still fulfill the Part II exam requirements that were in effect at that time to become Board Certified: namely, passing the Part II CBPS or NEW CBPS and passing Case Review.

  • Candidates who have not previously fulfilled the Part II CBPS Examination Requirement must take the NEW CBPS Examination.
  • Board Qualified candidates who have taken and passed the eight-case CBPS examination before September 2020 to become Board Qualified must still take two exams to achieve Board Certification. These exams include Case Review and another CBPS exam, the NEW CBPS. The former eight-case Part I CBPS examination is not the psychometric equivalent of the 12-case NEW CBPS examination.
  • Candidates who become Board Qualified by passing their Final-year In-training Exam or the Part I Didactic examination along with the NEW CBPS examination in September 2020 or after must pass only Case Review to become Board Certified.
