AATBS is your partner in exam preparation with all the mock exams, materials and workshops you need to put you on the road to success. ENSURE EXAM SUCCESS • PASS THE EPPP! A Success Story... “I have been studying for the EPPP since December 2010. I struggled trying to find my way and sift through all of the information alone. In April 2011 I finally realized that my sense of aimless wandering through stacks of psychology texts was not the way to go to ensure success, so I contacted AATBS and purchased the platinum package. I attended the 4-Day Workshop in early June in Dallas, TX. I completed every examination in TestMASTER, and I thoroughly studied the written material. On the TestMASTER Final Examination, I scored 90%. I was a bit apprehensive about the Final Examination outcome because I was not sure if I had memorized TestMASTER Questions or material, a potentially devastating distinction. On July 30, 2011, I took the EPPP for the first time, and I passed with a score of 644 or 90%. I was shocked. I owe a great deal of credit in assisting me to narrow my studies and learn the information to AATBS. I have to let you know that passing the examination means so much to me and my family, and I really believe that if I had gone it alone I would not have been successful. Thanks!” Matthew M.
