TSU Psychology Department Honors 84 Newly Licensed Psychometricians at Testimonial Dinner

Tarlac State University’s Department of Psychology under the College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) held a testimonial dinner for its newly licensed psychometricians on March 8, 2024, at the Alumni Center of the TSU Lucinda Campus.

The event, themed “Psych-cess! Honoring Hard-work and Celebrating Success,” celebrated the achievement of 84 graduates who passed the August 2023 Psychometrician Licensure Examination. The batch recorded a passing rate of 79.25%, marking the university’s highest passing percentage since its Psychology graduates first took the licensure examination in 2014.

The testimonial dinner provided an opportunity for the successful examinees to share their experiences and reflect on how the university contributed to their achievement. Particular attention was given to the department’s in-house review program and retention policy, which helped prepare students for the licensure examination.

Stephanie Joyce T. Melegrito, a member of the 2022 batch, highlighted the value of the in-house review during her internship. She explained that the experience offered students a preview of the review center setup and helped them decide where to enroll for further board examination preparation.

The event recognized not only the graduates’ hard work and perseverance but also the department’s efforts to support students in their pursuit of professional qualifications. The achievement of the 84 passers reflects a significant milestone for TSU’s Psychology Department and serves as an inspiration to aspiring psychometricians.
