North Carolina Psychology Board Selects LaserGrade to Deliver State Examination

Vancouver, WA - May 2, 2006 LaserGrade announced today that the North Carolina Psychology Board has selected LaserGrade to deliver their state psychology examination. LaserGrade will convert the state’s current paper and pencil examination to computer-based delivery throughout the state. North Carolina law requires that all psychologists practicing in the State of North Carolina pass both state and national examinations.

Judith Moore, President and CEO of LaserGrade stated, “We are pleased that the North Carolina Psychology Board has chosen LaserGrade to convert and deliver their state examination. We look forward to delivering the exam that fairly and accurately measures a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of the requirements to practice psychology in North Carolina.”

The North Carolina Psychology Board’s Executive Director, Martha Storie, stated “The Board decided LaserGrade was a perfect fit. LaserGrade quickly converted the Board’s exam to be offered via computer, keeping us current with technology and “in sync” with the national exam already being offered via computer. Their test center network allows our candidates to test six days a week throughout the year. Additionally, candidates living near the borders of South Carolina, Virginia or Tennessee can test in those states if that is more convenient for them. In fact, candidates from other states moving to North Carolina can now take the Board’s state exam, in the state they currently reside, at a LaserGrade Test Center, prior to moving to North Carolina.”
