Ateneo Graduate Leads September 2026 Psychologist Licensure Exam

September 22, 2026 - 00:00

A graduate of Ateneo de Manila University earned the top score in the September 2026 computer-based licensure examination for psychologists, according to the Professional Regulation Commission.

The PRC released the results after the exams were administered earlier this month in testing centers across the country. The agency did not immediately provide the full list of passers or the total number of examinees who took the test.

The computer-based format marked another step in the commission's shift toward digital testing for professional licensure programs. The PRC has been gradually moving several board examinations to computer-based delivery in recent years, citing faster processing and more efficient release of results.

Passers are expected to register with the commission and take their professional oath before they can begin practice. The PRC advised successful examinees to monitor its official announcements for the schedule of registration and the issuance of their professional identification cards.

The licensure exam for psychologists is one of several board tests supervised by the PRC. It covers major areas of the field, including assessment, counseling, and ethical practice. Results of the examination are typically released within a few days when the test is done via computer.

The commission reminded the public that only official channels should be used to verify the results and that it does not endorse any private review center or service claiming to have advance access to the outcome.
