Where the programs overlap
The overlap is diagnosis. The OSCE program teaches the diagnostic families a station needs; the DSM-5-TR course goes deeper on the reasoning. Everything else sits in one program only.

This one or that one?
OSCE Psychology Exam AUD $399
Choose it if: You have a psychology OSCE coming up and want a station routine you can run under pressure.
Skip it if: You only need the NPE. The OSCE program does not cover ethics law, psychological testing or the four NPE domains.
National Psychology Exam (NPE) AUD $499
Choose it if: You are sitting the National Psychology Exam and want structured study across ethics, assessment, interventions and communication.
Skip it if: You only have an OSCE. The NPE program is written for a multiple-choice exam, not for performing a station.
Master the DSM-5-TR AUD $149
Choose it if: Diagnosis is your weak spot, or you want deeper differential reasoning than an exam program gives you.
Skip it if: Your exam is days away and diagnosis already feels solid. The OSCE and NPE programs teach the diagnoses their exams need.
