It took me 2.5 years and 8 (yes 8) attempts before passing the EPPP. In that time, I used many aspects (e.g., workshops, webinars, flashcards, exams, audios) of all 5 programs that are out there.
As someone who is a very visual learner and likes mnemonics, these are not things I found a big concentration of with any of the programs, so I decided 6 months before my last 2 EPPP attempts to start creating my own.
In the process of me making these, I also piloted their utility with friends who also found these very helpful in their studying and part of their EPPP success, and since passing I have been going back to make it even better and easier to use. My intention is that these will be a supplemental tool for visual learners and people who like mnemonics.
My newest creation is this chart that a number of my coaching and tutoring clients have requested over the last year. It blends together: brain areas/parts involved in learning/memory, sleep, emotion, and movement, associated functions, and what disorders can result if those areas are damaged AND the neurotransmitters involved. Included are some tips and tricks on how to connect the content, colorful brain diagrams, a color-coded comparison chart where you can see overlap between brain parts involved in memory + learning/sleep/movement and emotion, a separate, color-coded comparison chart that breaks down 22 disorders/syndromes, the brain parts involved AND the corresponding neurotransmitters involved, a color-coded chart on the neurotransmitters indicating if they are inhibitory and/or excitatory, and one more color-coded comparison chart that categorizes which neurotransmitters are involved in memory+learning/sleep/movement/emotion+mood/appetite.

*DISCLAIMER* My study aids are NOT a substitute for using one of the 5 test prep programs for the EPPP and are 100% intended to be a supplement to whichever testing program and/or materials you are using. IF highlighted and colorful text are "distracting" for you OR you don't enjoy meme's/mnemonics/visuals/don't have a sense of humor OR are sensitive to curse words being sprinkled in, these ARE NOT the materials for you.
