FL Psych Juris study plan

Map the scope of Domain 1 (Florida laws and rules governing practice) by listing every statute and rule source it draws on, then rank them by how many exam items you expect each to generate

Read Chapter 490, Florida Statutes end to end and annotate each section with a one-line plain-language summary in your own words

Build a term sheet distinguishing the statutory definitions in s. 490.003 (practice of psychology, psychologist, psychological services, school psychologist) and flag every definition you cannot restate without notes

Draft 20 original recall questions covering who may use the title psychologist and what constitutes unlicensed practice under Chapter 490

Trace the full licensure pathway in Chapter 490 (doctoral degree requirements, supervised experience, examination, application, licensure by endorsement or reciprocity) and convert it into a numbered flowchart

Compare the statutory requirements for psychologists versus school psychologists and identify the differences that exam writers most likely test

Summarize the statutory grounds for disciplinary action and the penalties available, noting which body imposes each

Cross-check each Chapter 490 provision you studied against the corresponding Domain 1 rule to find overlaps you can study once instead of twice

Read Chapter 64B19, Florida Administrative Code in full and tag each rule with the Chapter 490 section it implements

Extract every numeric threshold in the rules (supervision hours, continuing education hours, record retention periods, fees, deadlines) into a single reference table

Explain in writing how the Board of Psychology is composed, how members are appointed, and what powers the Board holds over licensure and discipline

Identify the rules governing supervision of interns and residents and describe the supervisor's documentation obligations

Describe the continuing education requirements in the Board rules, including mandatory topic areas, hour minimums, and the reporting cycle

Outline the complaint and disciplinary process from initial complaint through probable cause, formal hearing, and final order

List the record-keeping requirements imposed by rule and state, for each, how long records must be kept and who may access them

Draft 25 original questions on Chapter 64B19 administrative rules and score yourself without looking at notes

Work through the major ethical standards governing informed consent, competence boundaries, multiple relationships, and confidentiality, writing a concrete Florida-specific example for each

Distinguish the limits of confidentiality in Florida, including mandatory reporting duties and the conditions under which disclosure is permitted or required

Analyze at least six ethical dilemmas and write a defensible decision for each using a step-by-step ethical decision-making model

Specify the standards for test security, test data release, and assessment competence, and note where Florida law adds requirements beyond general ethical codes

Define the boundaries of competence and the requirements for obtaining informed consent in language a client could understand, then compare your version against the formal standard

Describe the rules on advertising, public statements, and solicitation as they apply to Florida licensees

Explain fee arrangements, bartering, and referral practices and identify which are prohibited versus merely discouraged

Revisit the Domain 1 material from weeks 1 through 3 and write a list of the ten provisions you are least confident about

Re-read Chapter 490 and Chapter 64B19 focusing only on the items in your error logs from weeks 4 and 6

Complete a timed 100-question mixed practice set weighted 25 percent per domain and record your score by domain

For every item missed on the mixed set, write the controlling statute or rule citation in a consolidated correction sheet

Recite the licensure pathway and the disciplinary process from memory on blank paper, then check against your week 2 and week 4 materials

Review only your correction sheets, error logs, and threshold table; do not introduce new material

Take two additional timed mixed sets of 50 questions and confirm that per-domain accuracy holds at or above your target

Drill the numeric thresholds and definitions from memory until you can reproduce the full table unaided

Write a one-page exam-day plan covering timing per item, flagging strategy, and how you will handle questions that hinge on distinguishing statute from rule
