Counselor Exam Prep Success Stories

I wanted to let you know that I found your study materials to be of great use because I passed the NCE on my first try with a score of 117. The mean this year was 110.83 with standard deviation of 16.83. Majority of questions this year were from helping relationships (36 total) and professional ethics (29 total) though I have to say while taking the test most everyone I spoke with really felt it was heavy in career (20 total). I am not sure what it is about the test itself that makes you feel that way but it does at first glance seem to move in a career direction which is extremely misleading. Anyway thank you again for the way you have designed your study guide because it was easy to follow and really went to the heart of what I needed to focus on.

I have been out of the workforce for 4 years & needed to take the NCE since I’ve moved & my LPC didn’t transfer. Was nervous about the exam, but your guide was great! I felt very prepared & was glad to have one guide to study from. Good hints/advice about what to focus on & helped me in areas I knew I needed more work! Thank you! Appraisal & research areas were most helpful to me, as was the practice exam.

I am writing to thank you for your exam preparation book, as it has helped me very much with my COMPS and NCC exam preparation. I am so glad to report that I’m FINISHED with COMPS and NCE. Again, thanks so very much for the wonderful book and DVD’s that I owe (hopefully) passing the exam to! I wanted to give you feedback about my experience with the book and exams. I found the NCE surprisingly easy and straightforward, as well as asking questions that seemed to come right out of your book.

GREAT STATS PRESENTATION REVIEW AND NEW INFO TOO! Thank you for explaining things so clearly that I have never understood in both my MS and PhD stats!

In North Carolina, you only get two attempts at the exam and if you fail the second time, you have to reapply which is not the easiest process. The fear of failing again and having to wait almost another year to get my license was overwhelming. I found your study guide on Amazon. I retook the exam and passed it!!! I improved by 30 points!! It was such a life saver and it provided a lot of information that was not in the Encyclopedia but was covered on the exam. The study tips, the practice exams, the ACA Code of Ethics and most importantly the information on research and appraisal was exactly what helped me pass the exam. I am so thankful that I found your study guide. It was a blessing!!!

I found your Study Guide easy to use, an invaluable tool. It has been six years since I finished my counselor’s study. Without this, it would have been impossible to pass the test. Thanks A LOT!
