REFERENCES: Books, E-Books/PDFs, Review Materials and Notes

     As a self-reviewee, I've read and watched a lot of blogs and posts from the former batches about the references and techniques they had used in their review. TRUST ME. Been there, done that. 😉 All of them stated the same and so I was! 😂 I will share the same thing here but in detailed plus, I will give some extra reviewers exclusively FOR YOU! I am also going to share some links where you can download an e-book or pdf file of the courses you needed to read! 👌👍 So.. DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW, SHARE AND COMMENT!!! 😘

e-BOOKS/PDFs and online sources

     I also finished reading the e-book/pdf that some of the blogs have recommended. If you want to read these additional references, just click the yellow highlighted words below.

• This is the only reference in FilPsych I got (aside from the review material from SPARK):

Filipino Psychology Powerpoint Presentation by Robert Javier, Jr., PhD

• You might want to learn further about basic statistics:

Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences (9th ed.) by Frederick J. Gravetter & Larry B. Wallnau

• You might want to check out these ⬇⬇⬇, surely it helps a lot!😉👍:

APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2017) by American Psychological Association

APA DSM Changes from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5

• I'm sharing Abnormal Psychology e-books with you from my file because sharing is caring! 🤞:

Abnormal Psychology (12th ed.) by Ann Kring, et. al.

Abnormal Psychology (7th ed.) by David H. Barlow & V. Mark Durand

     Other than these, I also watched videos and presentations online. Oh!! I really love those animation and cartoons discussing and explaining things in simple and easy ways!!!😍💜 It was comprehensible and retainable.😉👌 

🚫Disclaimer: I am not selling books neither e-books here. This is just to help out BLEPP takers on their review. I advise you to read the latest editions of those books because of the newest information that you could get.

Review Materials

     Actually, I was not enrolled in any review center but I have these materials provided by SPARK Review Center because it is necessary (as a reviewee) to look at different learning materials and to take examination drills or any practice tests to retain information in the memory. These review materials really helped me to progress on my review because there is necessary information not covered by the books. And of course, Filipino Psychology here was mostly covered in the exam. 😊😁 sshhhiiiiinngg!

The Yellow Book Compilation contains hand-outs of the four subjects by different excellent professors in psychology and the Green Book Compilation contains long quizzes and mock board exams on the four subjects provided by different outstanding professors in psychology.

NOTES

     It is actually possible to pass the board exam without attending any review centers. But the disadvantage is that YOU CANNOT FIND IMMEDIATE ANSWER TO YOUR IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS! You don't have any professional coach since you do the self-paced review. So if you are impatient with google or youtube the answer or having trust issues, perhaps, it is necessary for you to attend a review center (actually, some of my batchmates in 2014 enrolled in up to 3 review centers to guarantee themselves for passing the boards!😎). 

     It was important for me to jot down all the key terms and possible information I could get. Here is the preview of my notebook and reviewer...

📔 My Notebook! -BOW- !😂

Just a preview of some of my notes..😊📝

This is what I did one week before the boards! I rushed summarizing the entire DSM-5!😰

     You can make your own reviewer at your convenience. Hope I was able to help you with this! 

Tired of reading lots of books and running out of time? 

GOOD NEWS!!!

 I will share a copy of my REVIEWER Notes to those who will follow and share my blog! 

Lots of love! 🤞
