Quick answer: When is the psychometrician board exam in 2027?
PRC has not yet released its 2027 exam calendar. It’s expected around mid-November 2026. The Psychometricians Licensure Examination (PmLE, also called BLEPP) is held once a year. In 2026 it was scheduled for August 19–20 and then moved to September 1–2 because of monsoon rains. Expect the 2027 exam around August–September 2027, with LERIS filing around May–July 2027.
