KY Psych Juris study plan

KY Psych Juris · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Kentucky Psychology Licensure Statute (KRS 319) and Administrative Regulations (201 KAR 26)

  • Map the structure of KRS 319 chapter by chapter, noting which sections create the Board, define practice, and set penalties

  • Build a one-page citation table pairing each core licensure requirement (education, supervised hours, examinations) with its statute and regulation cite

  • Distinguish statutory text from 201 KAR 26 regulatory detail for at least ten requirements and record which source controls on a conflict

  • Draft ten original recall questions on definitions and licensure prerequisites, then answer them closed-book

Your checkpoint

A citation table of at least 25 statute-to-regulation pairs plus a scored 10-question self-quiz with notes on every miss

Week 2

Kentucky Psychology Licensure Statute (KRS 319) and Administrative Regulations (201 KAR 26) & Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology: Structure, Complaints, and Disciplinary Process

  • Trace the Board's composition, appointment, and terms under KRS 319 and summarize member qualifications in your own words

  • Sequence the disciplinary pipeline from complaint intake through hearing and appeal, naming each stage and who acts at it

  • Compare the Board's rulemaking and emergency-action authority against its routine complaint handling

  • Create a flowchart of the disciplinary process with decision points and annotate each branch with the governing citation

Your checkpoint

A labeled disciplinary-process flowchart covering intake through appeal, with a citation at every decision node

Week 3

Scope of Practice, Titles, and Licensure Requirements & Supervision, Delegation, and Unlicensed Practice

  • Define the scope of practice boundary and list three activities that fall outside it

  • Enumerate every protected title and abbreviation and state the licensure status each requires

  • Explain the supervision requirements for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees, including who may supervise and required documentation

  • Analyze three short hypotheticals about unlicensed practice and decide, with citations, whether a violation occurred

Your checkpoint

Three written hypothetical analyses (150-250 words each) that reach a conclusion and cite the controlling statute or regulation

Week 4

Informed Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication & Mandatory Reporting and Duty to Protect

  • Specify the elements of valid informed consent and identify when consent must be revisited during treatment

  • Distinguish confidentiality from testimonial privilege and identify who holds each

  • Outline the limits of confidentiality and the circumstances that permit or require disclosure

  • Apply the mandatory reporting and duty-to-protect provisions to two fact patterns and justify each action taken

Your checkpoint

A two-column limits-of-confidentiality reference sheet (permitted versus required disclosures) with citations, plus two applied fact-pattern answers

Week 5

Record Keeping, Fees, and Advertising & Competence, Assessment, and Test Security

  • List the required contents and retention expectations for clinical records and identify who may access them

  • Summarize the rules on fee statements, advertising claims, and testimonials, and flag three statements that would violate them

  • Describe test security obligations and the limits on releasing raw versus interpreted test data

  • Evaluate a sample advertisement and a sample record-release request against the standards and write a compliance memo

Your checkpoint

A compliance memo (300+ words) addressing one advertising scenario and one test-data release scenario, each with a citation-based recommendation

Week 6

Boundaries, Multiple Relationships, and Professional Conduct

  • Differentiate boundary crossings from multiple relationships and identify the factors that raise risk

  • Apply a structured decision model to two boundary scenarios and document the reasoning

  • Identify conduct categories that trigger discipline and match each to its statutory or regulatory basis

  • Write a personal boundary-management plan with at least five specific safeguards for your intended practice setting

Your checkpoint

A personal boundary-management plan with five concrete safeguards plus two documented scenario analyses

Week 7

Kentucky Psychology Licensure Statute (KRS 319) and Administrative Regulations (201 KAR 26) & Informed Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication & Mandatory Reporting and Duty to Protect & Boundaries, Multiple Relationships, and Professional Conduct

  • Re-read the heaviest domains and convert each into a condensed outline of no more than two pages

  • Complete 60 mixed practice questions under timed conditions and log every error by domain

  • Re-teach your three weakest subtopics aloud or in writing without notes and check accuracy against the source text

  • Build a spaced-repetition deck of at least 40 high-yield items drawn from your error log

Your checkpoint

An error log with 60 attempted items, domain-level accuracy percentages, and a 40-card review deck

Week 8

Kentucky Psychology Licensure Statute (KRS 319) and Administrative Regulations (201 KAR 26) & Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology: Structure, Complaints, and Disciplinary Process

  • Simulate a full-length timed exam and record domain-by-domain performance

  • Review every remaining flagged item and resolve each to a citation you can state from memory

  • Recite the disciplinary sequence and the core licensure prerequisites without reference materials

  • Finalize a one-page pre-exam summary limited to the highest-yield rules and citations

Your checkpoint

A completed timed simulation with a scored breakdown and a final one-page summary sheet
