MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER When I think back on 2025, I feel incredibly proud of what this community has become...

At the beginning of the year, our official Exam Crushers community was still relatively new. We had the vision for a space where people could study together, encourage one another, and feel less alone during one of the hardest seasons of their professional journey. What I did not fully anticipate was just how powerful the connections inside this community would become.

Over the past year, we expanded in so many meaningful ways. We launched inperson events, continued to grow our group coaching, and completely revamped the program so that people could receive even more support throughout the exam process. But what stands out most is not the structure of the program. It is the people.

Every day I see members showing up for one another. I see encouragement in the chat when someone feels discouraged. I see study partners forming friendships that go far beyond the exam. I see people sharing resources, celebrating wins, and reminding each other that this process does not have to be done alone.

The resilience in this community is extraordinary. Many of you have faced real obstacles along the way, yet you kept going. Watching so many of you pass the exam and step into new opportunities has been one of the greatest joys of my career. It is incredibly rewarding to see doors open for you after all the hard work you have put in.

What makes this community special is not just that people pass the exam. It is the way people lift each other up while getting there.

Thank you for the courage, determination, and generosity you bring into this space.

You make this community what it is.

I cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds.

With gratitude, Dr. Erica Ligons Founder & CEO

WHO WE ARE Preparing for the EPPP is a significant milestone on the path to becoming a licensed psychologist. For many candidates, however, it can also be one of the most demanding and isolating stages of professional training.

Exam Crushers was created to change that experience.

We are a comprehensive coaching program designed to support candidates through the entire Exam preparation process. While effective test-taking strategies and highquality study materials are essential, we believe lasting success comes from something more: structure, consistency, and community.

At the center of our approach is the Snowball Study Method, a structured study plan that helps candidates build knowledge gradually and sustainably over time.

Rather than relying on last-minute intensity, the method emphasizes steady progress—allowing small, manageable efforts to accumulate into meaningful momentum.

Equally important is the community that develops around the process. Through coaching, group study sessions, and shared accountability, candidates are able to prepare alongside others who understand the unique challenges of this stage of the profession.

The individuals featured throughout this yearbook represent that journey. Their stories reflect commitment, persistence, and the steady progress that ultimately leads to success.

OUR YEAR IN NUMBERS 750+ COWORKING SESSIONS 30+ Q&A SESSIONS 12 SIP N’ CHAT EVENTS 2 CRUSH & CONNECT EVENTS 19 NEW LICENSED CLINICIANS Numbers can tell part of a story, but they rarely capture the full experience behind them.

The 750+ coworking sessions represent hundreds of moments when members chose to show up, open their notes, and study alongside others who understood the same challenges and goals.

The 30+ Q&A sessions reflect conversations where questions were asked, strategies were clarified, and uncertainty gradually turned into confidence.

The 12 Sip n’ Chat gatherings remind us that preparation for the EPPP is not only about studying—it is also about connection, encouragement, and the reminder that no one has to go through this process alone.

The 2 Crush & Connect events marked the beginning of a new tradition—bringing members of the community together in person to connect, share experiences, and celebrate the journey toward licensure.

And the 19 newly licensed clinicians represent something even more meaningful: the culmination of consistent effort, community support, and the steady momentum built through the Snowball Study Method.

Together, these numbers reflect a year of persistence, collaboration, and progress—one step at a time.

MILESTONES FROM 2025 UPDATED MASTER PLAN In 2025, we introduced an updated version of the Master Plan, refining the structure of the Snowball Study Method to make it even clearer and more sustainable for members preparing for the EPPP. The update focused on helping candidates build steady momentum

CRUSH & CONNECT EVENTS We introduced Crush & Connect, a new series of gatherings designed to bring members of the Exam Crushers community together beyond their study sessions. These events created space for connection, conversation, and shared encouragement among individuals navigating the exam prep journey. By providing opportunities to meet, reflect, and support one another, Crush & Connect quickly became a meaningful part of the community experience.

MONTHLY COWORKING GIVEAWAYS To celebrate the dedication of members showing up to study together, we launched our monthly coworking session giveaways. These small celebrations highlighted the consistency and commitment that drive success throughout the study journey.

CRUSH & CONNECT Crush & Connect events are an opportunity for members of the Exam Crushers community to come together beyond their study sessions and connect as colleagues and peers. These gatherings create space to share experiences, offer encouragement, and reflect on the journey toward licensure alongside others who truly understand it. In many ways, they capture the spirit of the community itself—reminding us that even during one of the most challenging stages of professional training, no one has to go through it alone.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS “The networking, the coworking sessions, the group coaching, just knowing that whatever I was struggling with, someone else out there, is also going through something similar. But then it also feels like, okay, I'm not alone. I don't need to worry about struggling through this by myself.”

- Dr. Kimberly L.

“With this program, the accountability goes to the next level—‘Okay, how did you do it?

Walk me through it. Let me see your notes.’

It’s accountability plus. That’s the key. That extra layer gets you back on track so your studying is efficient and effective, not just hours and hours that lead to burnout. It’s effective accountability and effective structure.“ - Dr. Soren S.L.

“Crush That Exam has very clear methods and structured plans that help people learn in the way they learn best. It’s tailored to the person, starting from a foundation of clarity and structure. The experience felt really collaborative.“ - Dr. Beverly I.
