Although this is only partially related to your question, a recent article
on the relationship between various "training" measures and scores on the
Examination for Professional Prctice in Psychology (EPPP) Test found that
attending a Ph.D. program tended to result in higher EPPP scores than
attending a Psy.D. program. Similarly, attending a major research
institution was associated with higher scores than not attending one.
