Three, the exam twice a year, respectively, in May and 1 1 month, generally 2 months before the exam. I need a copy of my ID card, two one-inch photos and one two-inch photo (I use a red background).

I am not sure where to sign up. We signed up for a training course at the university, and registered directly in the university psychology major, and the registration fee was 800 yuan.

The examination is divided into two parts: basic knowledge and skill operation (the division level needs to add thesis defense), both of which are written tests.

Examination results are generally published by the local examination authorities two months after the end of the examination, and candidates can query the results according to the query method published by the examination authorities.

The score of the paper 100, 60 is a pass, and only when all parts pass can the certificate be obtained. Those who pass the personal scores will be retained for 2 years.
