This study aimed at determining the performance of BA/BS Psychology graduates in professional courses as predictor of Psychometrician licensure examination. This descriptive-correlational study involved 104 psychology graduates from academic year 2015-2018 of the University of Perpetual Help System Laguna, Binan Campus. Findings showed that majority of the respondents had a satisfactory grade in professional courses. Nearly half of them passed the licensure examination. A significant relationship was noted between the respondents’ academic performance in professional courses along Psychological assessment (p=0.005), Abnormal psychology (p=0.000) and Industrial psychology (p=0.000) and their Psychometrician licensure examination. Among the professional courses included in the licensure examination Abnormal psychology was found to be a good predictor of their Psychometrician licensure examination which may be attributed to teacher’s competence in teaching the course, effective instruction and quality of education that reflects the school efficiency.
