Finally!
 

I urge the Board to revise 18VAC125-20-80 for the reasons stated in the petition. A minimum score of 400 will not only improve the quality of life for test-takers but also reduce excessive testing expenses. The EPPP has long been a stressor for mental health professionals, causing them to spend extensive time and money on exam preparation, resulting in time away from their families. The current passing score may not accurately reflect a professional's ability to assess and treat clients. I support granting practitioners who may face biases the opportunity to practice and contribute positively to the community. I urge you to take action and address this issue, ensuring psychologists are treated fairly and with dignity. We, the undersigned, believe that lowering the score would be a significant step towards resolving this problem and improving the lives of those affected. We ask that you consider the petition and take immediate action to effect positive change. Thank you!
