Dear Professor Helwig –
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve used your STUDY GUIDE and passed the NCE last Saturday (with a score of 133/160). I bought your book and DVD set last fall to prepare for my school comps. I did well on those, too.
For me, the best part of your system is being able to use the DVDs to “ease into” study. Sometimes picking up a book is a really big deal, but sitting down to watch your video presentation made it easier to begin studying.
I’d also say that your presentation of material in the Appraisal and Research sections is wonderful — clear and very easy to understand. Suddenly things that never made sense to me when I took the classes in school were very very clear. I’m now convinced that my professors in school didn’t understand the material well enough themselves to be able to present it in an understandable manner. And your test taking tips are also extremely helpful.
For the record, I also used Howard Rosenthal’s ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNSELING in preparing for the exam. The combination of the two systems is unbeatable. I like the repetition of information in his material.
I have recommended your book and DVDs to others and will continue to do so.
