Licensure question? CPQ or Register?

As between banking with the CPQ issued by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) or the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology (NRHSPP), does anyone have any thoughts. I was thinking that I would start banking materials when I am going through licensure process the first time, so it will be there. The two primary states where I am seeking licensure accept both, but I was hoping to hear from anyone who has used the process, to give their thoughts.

Aside - If I have to order another transcript, I may scream!

Thanks for any thoughts!

Not to derail the thread but i was curious -- at what year of grad school must you become concerned with documenting / banking your activity? Your first year? Your first practicum experience ever?

Most people I know haven't started worrying about it until internship. If your program is APA-accredited, this seems (from what I know) to work out ok. Saving the syllabi of your grad classes could be useful, though, just in case your state licensing board has questions as to the content covered in a particular course.

If your grad program isn't accredited, I'd definitely be saving syllabi, grad student handbooks, and pretty much any other official materials I was given.

Edit: As for the two banking systems in question, I unfortunately can't offer any input, as I don't know anyone who's used either. I've started the early entry process through ABPP, and may go the ASPPB route for licensure banking just because that's the one I've seen mentioned most often.
