Exam identity
What this guide establishes
Administrator
PRC administers PMLE through the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology.
Four Subjects
Annex B identifies Developmental Psychology, Psychological Assessment, Abnormal Psychology, and Industrial-Organizational Psychology.
Program Corroboration
A dated PRC examination program corroborates the PMLE name and four subjects while leaving schedules and weights cycle-specific.
Important distinctions
Read the exam context carefully
PMLE is not the Psychologists Licensure Examination
PRC maintains separate enhanced TOS annexes for psychometricians and psychologists, so this route is limited to PMLE.
Mapped headings, normalized labels
The 23 local leaves map to Annex B headings, but some are shortened or repunctuated. ExamPede's 60 deeper topics remain independent.
Current programs are cycle-specific
Program dates, subject order, times, and relative weights should be confirmed from the latest PRC materials rather than frozen into this guide.
