I have struggled to pass the exam for over a year now, with 5 failed attempts, several study programs, and sever study techniques. Three of my attempts have had scores over 400. My last attempt I had accommodations and still did not obtain a passing score. My clinical work and feedback from clients and colleagues show how great of a clinican I am, but passing this exam has created immense barriers and stress. I’ve succeeded in all academic challenges and, within the projected timeframe, earned my Psy.D. Lowering the score would open up so many more  opportunities for clinicans like myself. I know this test or the test score doesn’t define me. Implementing a lower score would open up so many more possibilities for clinicians similar to myself.
