BCP Board Certified Psychometrist Practice Test PDF (Free Printable 2026)
The BCP (Board Certified Psychometrist) credential is offered by the ABPS (American Board of Psychological Specialties). Psychometrists administer, score, and report neuropsychological and psychological tests under the supervision of licensed psychologists in clinical, medical, forensic, and research settings.
BCP Exam Content Areas
Psychological and Neuropsychological Assessment Instruments
A major portion of the BCP exam covers the administration and scoring of standardized testing instruments:
- Intelligence testing — Wechsler scales: WAIS-IV, WISC-V, and WPPSI-IV. Candidates must know the Index scores (VCI, VSI, FRI, WMI, PSI), individual subtests, administration rules including basal and ceiling rules, discontinue criteria, and timing requirements.
- Cognitive screening: MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination).
- Memory testing: WMS-IV (Wechsler Memory Scales) and RBANS (Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status) domains.
- Attention and processing speed: WAIS PSI subtests and TMT (Trail Making Test) Parts A and B.
- Executive function: WCST (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) and DKEFS (Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System).
- Language: Boston Naming Test and FAS verbal fluency tasks.
- Visuospatial: Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (RCFT).
- Motor: Grooved Pegboard and Finger Tapping Test.
- Personality and emotional functioning: MMPI-2, PAI, and Beck scales.
Test Administration Standards
Standardized administration is central to the psychometrist role. The exam tests knowledge of following published test manuals exactly without modifications (unless authorized by the supervising psychologist), recording verbatim responses, applying basal and ceiling rules correctly, using stopwatches for timed subtests, maintaining standardized testing environments, building appropriate rapport, accommodating individuals with disabilities under psychologist direction, recording behavioral observations, and recognizing and managing invalid or incomplete protocols.
Scoring and Documentation
Psychometrists convert raw scores to scaled scores using age-corrected normative tables, calculate percentile ranks, apply confidence intervals, and document scores on test protocols. They generate data tables for psychologist review but do not provide clinical interpretation to clients — interpretation is strictly within the licensed psychologist's scope of practice.
Ethics and Scope of Practice
The BCP exam heavily emphasizes professional boundaries. Psychometrists administer and score only — clinical interpretation is reserved for licensed psychologists. Key ethical areas include HIPAA compliance, test security and confidentiality of protocols, professional boundaries with clients, documentation and record-keeping standards, and mandatory reporting requirements in clinical settings.
