License Review Course –
Maryland State Portion
Online Format
Michael C. Heitt, Psy.D. - Moderator
MPA is pleased to offer a self-study review course entirely devoted to assisting those professionals preparing to take the Maryland portion of the licensing exam. We are especially pleased to offer this course in an online format. This is an ongoing access format that allows registrants to self pace their studies for the exam. Emphasis will be placed on the Maryland Licensure Law, the Maryland Code of Ethics for licensed psychologists, and exam technique. The online format will offer participants increased convenience and interaction with the moderator and with other participants. New exam content areas are added on an ongoing basis based on the materials that the Board provides to the examinees.
Participants in this online review course will learn strategies for taking the exam, which sections of State law to focus your studies on and which are less important, and the moderator will strive to answer all of the participants’ content related questions. We will go through each line of all applicable State laws and regulations to be sure your understand them. The areas to focus on will be emphasized and what to gloss over will be pointed out as well. You will learn the types of questions that are typically asked and specific strategies for how to respond to each of them. You learn what material the exam is likely to cover and what material it may not cover. Through the web forum interaction, based on participants’ questions, we will discuss the practice answers and discuss the rationale behind different responses. Also, using the web forum, other content related questions participants have will be answered. The level of this type of activity on the forum depends entirely on the registrants desire to participate. In addition to the materials the Board of Examiners sent to you, no other material will be needed. Everything else will be provided here in the review course.
