When will an application file for the Florida psychology exam be closed?

An application file for the Florida psychology exam will be closed if the exam requirements are not met. This is crucial because it establishes that candidates must fulfill specific prerequisites, such as educational qualifications, approved supervision, and any other criteria set forth by the Florida Board of Psychology. If these requirements are not satisfied within a reasonable timeframe, the application is considered incomplete, leading to its closure.

In contrast, passing the exam does not lead to the closure of an application file; in fact, it indicates that the process is moving forward. A candidate changing their mind does not directly impact the status of the application file either, as it remains open until formally withdrawn or closed due to unmet requirements. The one-year timeframe generally applies to applications that have not progressed, but it is primarily the failure to meet the exam requirements that results in the closure of the file.
