Define the statutory scope of psychology in Ohio and list at least five activities that fall outside it

Build a personal glossary of 20 statutory terms (for example: practice of psychology, psychological testing, supervision, client) with your own definitions and the citation for each

Identify which statutory provisions changed most recently and note the effective date of each change

Explain Ohio's requirements for informed consent to psychological services, including who may consent for minors and for adults under guardianship

Compare Ohio's confidentiality exceptions with the exceptions named in the APA Ethics Code

Draft a 300-word summary of Ohio's privilege statute and how it applies in civil, criminal, and custody proceedings

List the ethics standards most frequently tested (competence, multiple relationships, informed consent, assessment, therapy with couples and families) and write one exam-style vignette for each

Identify at least three places where Ohio law imposes a stricter duty than the ethics code and explain the practical implication for a licensee

Practice applying a decision-making model to two ethical dilemmas drawn from your own vignettes, documenting each step

Distinguish boundary crossings from boundary violations and write criteria you would use to judge each in a vignette

Explain the ethics-code treatment of bartering, gifts, and fees, and state how you would respond to a client who offers goods in lieu of payment

Describe competence requirements for emerging areas and the steps required before practicing in a new specialty

Analyze the standards on assessment, test security, and interpretation of results, and identify the errors most often embedded in exam vignettes

Outline the full Ohio licensure pathway from application through examination to initial license, naming each required document and the sequence in which it is submitted

State the supervised-experience hour requirements, the ratio of supervision hours to practice hours, and the qualifications a supervisor must hold

Describe the requirements for supervisor training and continuing education, and list what a supervision contract must contain

Differentiate the titles and scopes associated with licensed psychologist, limited-license holder, and unlicensed assistant or trainee roles in Ohio

Write a model supervision contract that satisfies Ohio requirements and the ethics code, including evaluation, due-process, and termination clauses

Explain the scope-of-practice limits on psychological testing, diagnosis, and supervision of non-psychologists in Ohio

Describe continuing education and license renewal obligations, including the number of hours, content categories, and deadlines

Trace the Board's complaint process from filing through investigation, hearing, and appeal, naming each stage and the licensee's rights at that stage

List the statutory grounds for discipline in Ohio and match each to a plausible fact pattern

Describe the range of sanctions available to the Board and the factors that influence which sanction is imposed

Explain the licensee's obligations during an investigation (cooperation, notification, record production) and the consequences of noncompliance

Complete two full-length timed practice exams under test conditions and record your score by domain

Review every missed item and write a corrected rule statement with its source for each error

Re-drill your weakest two domains using your own vignettes and the decision aids you built in earlier weeks

Consolidate all deliverables into a single indexed review packet and recite the ten rules you most often missed from memory
