No, this is not an issue for Alberta applicants. ACSLPA has conducted extensive due diligence to ensure suitability and fairness of the Praxis Exams. The process included assessing suitability with support from a psychometrician, cross referencing competency profiles that ACSLPA has accepted as core standards of practice with standards the Praxis Exams are based on, conducting score setting exercises with subject matter experts from each profession to determine appropriate Praxis passing scores for Canadian candidates, and other elements.
During the course of the exam you will encounter a small number of questions that touch on specific pieces of American legislation and/or professional practice concepts that are not relevant in the Canadian practice context (for example, questions might mention “Medicaid” or “Medicare”, or specific health insurance billing codes). While you are encouraged to do your best on all questions, the passing score for the exam has been adjusted by a panel of Canadian subject matter experts to ensure that you are not penalized for wrong answers on the questions that do not reflect Canadian legislation and/or professional practice concepts. Your knowledge of Alberta legislation and professional practice concepts will be demonstrated separately when you complete the jurisprudence component of your application process.
