Free TX-PJE Practice Questions

Question 1

A law firm retains a psychologist to evaluate a claimant for a pending disability lawsuit. The claimant did not seek treatment, and the psychologist will send the report to the retaining attorney. Under Texas psychology practice definitions, which classification is most accurate?

Accepted Answer

The law firm is the client; the claimant is a forensic examinee, not a therapy patient

Answer

The claimant is a treatment patient because any interview by a psychologist creates a treatment relationship

Answer

The claimant is the patient and the law firm is the client because the firm requested the evaluation

Answer

The claimant is the client, and the law firm is only a billing contact

Question 2

A proposed rule would change qualifications and standards of care for Texas psychologists. Which statement correctly describes the regulatory roles?

Accepted Answer

The psychology member board proposes the rule; the Executive Council has final adoption authority

Answer

The psychology member board adopts the final rule independently; the Executive Council only administers licenses afterward

Answer

The Executive Council proposes the psychology-specific standard; the member board exercises final rulemaking authority

Answer

The Executive Council may adopt psychology-specific standards without a member-board proposal whenever public safety is implicated

Question 3

At a rural hospital, a psychologist trained in adult outpatient care is the only behavioral-health clinician present when a 13-year-old arrives with an imminent suicide risk. No clinician competent in pediatric crisis work can be reached immediately. What may the psychologist do under the competency rule?

Accepted Answer

Provide necessary emergency care, seek consultation, and transfer promptly when competent care is available

Answer

Refuse clinical involvement and direct the hospital to arrange an immediate transfer without assessment

Answer

Begin a full pediatric treatment course and continue it after the emergency because the initial contact was lawful

Answer

Use the usual adult protocol without pediatric consultation because urgency waives population-specific competence concerns

Question 4

A Texas psychologist placed an unrestricted license on inactive status five years ago, timely renewed that inactive status, has not maintained an active psychology license in another jurisdiction, and now wants to resume practice. Before reactivation, which additional examination condition applies?

Accepted Answer

The psychologist must take and pass the relevant jurisprudence examination

Answer

Pay the renewal fee; no examination condition applies

Answer

Apply for reinstatement because an inactive license automatically expires after four years

Answer

Resume practice under inactive status while the Council reviews continuing education

Question 5

A public school has obtained valid IDEA-compliant parental consent for a special-education psychological evaluation. For that service, which statement about the Council's consent rule is correct?

Accepted Answer

No duplicate Council-specific consent is required for that evaluation

Answer

Obtain both parents' signatures regardless of the order

Answer

Obtain a separate Council consent covering the same evaluation before testing

Answer

Obtain a HIPAA authorization because IDEA consent addresses education law only

Question 6

An applicant from an APA-accredited doctoral program completed a 1,900-hour qualifying formal internship and 1,650 hours of qualifying postdoctoral supervised practice. Under the rule allowing internship hours above 1,750 to count toward the postdoctoral component, how should the application be evaluated?

Accepted Answer

The applicant qualifies because 150 excess internship hours may count toward the second component, producing 1,800 hours there and 3,550 total

Answer

The applicant is deficient by 100 postdoctoral hours because excess internship time must be ignored

Answer

The applicant needs 250 additional postdoctoral hours so the two components contain equal hours

Answer

The applicant requires a waiver of the postdoctoral minimum even though the combined total exceeds 3,500 hours

Question 7

During supervision, a Provisionally Licensed Psychologist repeatedly mis-scores a measure and cannot explain the scoring rules. The supervisor confirms a competency deficit. The supervisor's immediate obligation is to:

Accepted Answer

Immediately develop and implement a written remediation plan

Answer

End the supervisory relationship without documenting the deficit

Answer

Allow independent scoring and review it later

Answer

Refer the matter to the Council before creating any remediation plan

Question 8

An employer asks a psychologist to conduct a fitness-for-duty evaluation of an employee and receive the written findings. Which information must be clarified specifically because a third party requested the service?

Accepted Answer

Each party's relationship to the psychologist, the psychologist's role, probable uses of the services and results, and confidentiality limits

Answer

Only the fee, appointment length, and whether the employer will reimburse travel or missed work

Answer

The employee's right to edit or veto the conclusions before the employer receives the report

Answer

Only the tests to be administered and the diagnoses that might be considered

Question 9

A psychologist wants peer consultation about a difficult case but has no patient authorization. How can the consultation proceed under the Texas confidentiality rule?

Accepted Answer

Exclude identifying information and disclose only what the consultation requires

Answer

Send the entire identifiable record because the consultant is licensed

Answer

Cancel consultation unless a court first authorizes disclosure

Answer

Describe the complete identifiable case orally because the rule protects only written records and test data

Question 10

Therapy ended on a patient's 15th birthday. At age 22 years and 6 months, the former patient submits a written request for the record and still owes an old balance. Which response correctly applies both the retention and access rules?

Accepted Answer

Retain the record until age 23, respond within 15 days, and do not withhold access solely for the old balance

Answer

Destroy the record because seven years have elapsed, but send a summary from memory within 15 days

Answer

Retain the record until age 25 because minor records must be kept seven years after the patient reaches majority

Answer

Release both test data and protected test materials within 15 days because every testing document is part of the record, then destroy the file
