the California Psychology Supplemental Examination Each form of the CPSE will consist of 100 scored questions and 15 pretest (nonscored) questions, all multiple choice. The pretest questions will be presented randomly throughout the examination and will not be identified to the candidates. In addition to the standard multiple choice questions, certain questions will also be based upon 6 – 10 vignettes. Candidates will have three hours to complete the examination. A new form of the CPSE exam will be available every six months. Therefore, if a candidate does not pass the CPSE, the candidate must wait six months before sitting for the CPSE again.
