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.
