This is the one you have to study for psychology :-)

I still don't think much is different in architecture; you're just doing it smarter ;-) To be NCARB certified (which I'm sure you're going for :-) you just need to do these 5 things; doesn't say some can't be done concurrently as you're doing them other than some school or other may have its rules about order of doing things: http://www.ncarb.org/Certification/index.html

The difference between architecture and psychology is there is no NCARB organization for psychology. Your NCARB certification makes it easier for you to move from state to state than a psychologist would have. Psychology is more like engineering than architecture. But even engineers have the CE exams whereas there's no such standard exam for psychology, it's all state controlled. However, here's what you might consider a loophole? (the pass rate differences for the CA psych exam though is 65% for certified program grads versus only 39% for non-certified): </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
California is relatively unique in that graduates of unaccredited schools are eligible for licensure. As pointed out by Safarjan (1998), in California the standards applied by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education pertain primarily to financial responsibility and not to quality standards. Safarjan said that graduates of unaccredited schools cannot be licensed in states other than California, and possibly Colorado, and that graduates of unaccredited schools are limited in regard to eligibility for employment, managed care companies, pre and post doctoral internship programs, the National Register, and ability to obtain full membership in APA.
