Success stories using the NCMHCE Counseling Exam

People E-mail us after they get the results of the exam . Usually we hear from those that have passed. Unfortunately people that don't pass feel their performance on the exam is a reflection of their competency as a professional rather than how well they take tests or happen to be feeling that day! Those that don't pass are put back on the site for FREE. We want you to pass; we need more professionals out there!!

Dear Linton, Just wanted to let you know that I passed!!!!! Your site was well worth it and I appreciated all the inspiration. Thank you so much!

Hi, I know you get so many “thank you’s” from people that use your site to study for their exams, and I want to add one more. I would not have been prepared nearly as well without all the simulations, DSM case studies and other study and test prep material on your site. Knowing what to expect and to not read more into the simulations was key to passing the exam. I would not have been used to that without the simulations and practice exams on your site! Thank you.

No question here. I just wanted to say that I took my LCMHCE exam yesterday in Jacksonville, FL and passed!! I am soooo excited! I put most of my focus on the simulations. I went through each once twice. I agree that the simulations on this site were harder than the ones on the test. Thank you sooo much!!!

Hi Linton, I needed help to do this test. I found you and this education and study system. So awesome. As you say, "get it right the first time". I was nervous. I did panic. I missed a few. I recovered composure and went forth with the thought "I can do this in one test. All I have to do is pass. I can pass." I did it!!!! I passed ! So awesome. Thanks so much for your help. Sharon

I don't have a question- but I did want to thank you for helping me to prepare for the NCMHCE! I just got home from taking it for the first time, and I passed!

Hi Linton, great news...I just passed the exam. I am both exhausted and ecstatic. I could not have done it without your program. I studied it relentlessly for months, along with other study materials. I also appreciate your generosity in this matter. It is obvious that your main concern is the success of people like myself in getting through this hurdle. Thank you very very much. If you ever run out of testimonials, I'd be happy to do whatever I could. Jeff

Linton, I took the NCMHCE yesterday and PASSED!!! I worked my tush off using your on-line prep course and am glad I made such good use of all the materials involved. The Study Guide was a great additional help. Thank you for your help online, and on the phone when I called.

No question - just a thank you! I passed the board test on the first attempt. Your information was good and very helpful. Most valuable, though, were the practice simulation/tests. It helped me to get use to the test and questions and think in terms of what the test developers were thinking. Many thanks Patty

No question...just GREAT news. Dr. Linton, thank you so much for your web sites. During this last week, I passed not only the NCE, but also the NCMHCE exams with flying colors. For the NCE, it was Dr Rosenthal and Linton teamed up together and I aced the exam with an extra 23 points to spare. With the NCMHCE, it was another home run. Let me know if you want more positive comments for your site.
Joel

Dearest Linton: I passed!!!!!! Oh my goodness! I had near-perfect scores in several areas and my overall Decision Making score (which I missed by 4 points last time) went up nearly 30 points! So while I did the studying, you provided the perfect vehicle (and a lot of inspiration!) for this dramatic increase and, most importantly, a passing score! Thank you so, so much! : ) Mindy

I have no question but I wanted to let everyone know that I pass my NCMHCE on yesterday. I utilized all the resources on this site.

Hi Linton~ I can't thank you enough for your wonderful website. I just took the NCMHCE test today, and passed with flying colors on the first try!!! Although I experienced the typical "test anxiety", I felt so comfortable with the test format in the first few minutes, that I forgot about being nervous, and settled right in. Thank you again for all of the information on your website. I couldn't have done it without you. Ann (almost LMHC)

I just wanted you to know that when I contacted the state to reapply to take the NCMHCE, I was told that I had PASSED the last time I took the test! I was so convinced that I hadn't passed that I didn't read the right hand corner that said PASS and thought by the lower number score I hadn't passed. So for one whole month I was convinced I had to start all over. I want to thank you for your encouraging words and I have passed this web site to others. Thanks Again. Lisa

Dr. Linton, thank you for your support and for having created such a comprehensive tool for preparing ourselves for the test. Took the test yesterday and passed. I thought it was easy compared to your simulations. I felt very prepared, thanks to your site. "It's in there" has been on my mind for the past month. I hope it never goes away... Take care, Eva from Miami

Dr. Hutchinson, I am not sure if you will get this email. I took the test for NCMHCE and it was my fourth try. I called and spoke to you of my failure only to find out that I read the scoring incorrectly and a month later the state licensure told me that I had passed. Talk about setting mysel up. At any rate I do want to thank you for your genuine support emotionally and educationally for I felt if I just stayed with your program I could pass and as rough as it seemed to be for me I finally did. I would ask of you and encourage you to offer refresher information for licensed counselors. I found that due to the poplulation I have I was and still am unfamiliar with the general population in regards to diagnosing and knowing the current psychological tests available for all mental disorders. At anyrate I would be one of your customers to keep myself current and refreshed to purchase online study just on principle. I would also encourage graduate students to utilize your resources for I hadn't any prep work for this licensure test. Please let me know if you decide to offer something along that line. Thank you again and I have passed your resource on to others as it was passed to me. Sincerely Lisa
Lisa

THANK YOU Linton! I could kiss you. I studied with your site exclusively for one month, about one hour per day. I was disciplined to keep using your practice scenarios. I think I went through all of them. Sometimes I was frustrated; your site prepared me well. When it came time for the exam, Feb. 12, 2010, I passed WITH LOTS OF ROOM TO SPARE! My husband said I hit the ball out of the park. What a relief! It took me 13 years to get licensed. This was my final step! You have no idea how much your site helped me. I recommend it to EVERYONE! Big, big thanks!

Actually, it's just a comment. I passed my exam! If it were not for practicing and learning on this website, I'm not so sure I would have done so well and passed it the first time I took it. Actually, everyone I heard that took it said the test was murder! I thought it was a snap. I'm sure it was because of the format being so close to the format this website uses as a study tool. I just recommended the website to three other people. It's in there! Thanks for being the genius who put together this site! Nina

I am writing to thank you, Dr. Linton, for this website and preparation materials! I took the NCMHCE for licensure in TN and passed with above average scores on both parts of the exam! YEAH! Your website was very helpful. The simulations helped me to be very prepared for the actual exam. Also, the test taking strategies and techniques about coping with the anxiety leading up to and during the exam was very beneficial. Thank you SO much!! Judi from Chattanooga

Dr. Hutchinson, Thanks to my month-long subscription to your site, I passed the NCMHCE exam with 60 points to spare! I will highly recommend this service to my colleagues as I found it much more useful (and interesting!) to do the interactive case simulations than trying to get through thick study guides. My preparation paid off—the exam was not easy by any means, but I felt comfortable with the format and used your strategy of ranking the items by “Most Likely” to “Least Likely” and stopping my selections if an answer choice was “Not Indicated.” Thanks again for a wonderful resource! I’m thrilled to become an LPC!

I just wanted to thank you for your website and its contribution to my passing the NMHCE today! The simulations and reviews were extremely helpful and relevant and I found the exam to be even less challenging than many of the simulations. Also, I wanted to thank you for being flexible and considerate of my situation, allowing me to stop my membership for a time and then re-activate it so that I could time my preparation with the exam schedule.

Just wanted to thank you. I bought a three month subscription, got busy at work and completely procrastinated. A week before the exam I purchased another week and spent 3-4 hours per day cramming. In addition I reading through the study guide, I watched every video and took every simulation on the site. On the morning of the test I got up and left early because there was snow. The freeway was a solid sheet of ice and I sat at a stand still for 1:40. I called the test site and amp. They arranged for me to take the test even though I was approximately 40 minutes late. I got the 4 hour test and finished it in 2:10. I not only passed but just about blew the thing out of the water. This was puzzling because I expected the real test to be more difficult than the simulations on the site. Not so. The simulations totally prepared me to more than do well on the real thing. Thanks so much for the help. I was hired into a position that required a license and with your help, now I can keep it long term. Jeff

Hi Linton, I'm sure you get a ton of these, but I just wanted to say thank you. I passed my exam with flying colors. You have a great site and the cost of access was money well spent. At first I kind of sneered at your inspirational emails. But, as the exam got closer, my head grew more packed with info, and my stress level grew, they made a HUGE difference. You recharged my batteries more then once along the way. Thank you thank you thank you! Take good care, -Bob

Thank you!!!!!!!! Took the NCMHCE on Monday and passed. I had used another study guide (more expensive too) and still did not feel prepared even after 3 months of studying. Got your online program for three weeks and passed. The test simulation questions were excellent in preparing for the actual test.

Hi Linton, I just wanted to tell you I used your website for both the LPC and LCPC-I passed both of them on the first try. I truely believe in your website and would not have passed without it. The simulations in particular were so helpful-not only to learn the material properly, but being able to familiarize myself with the format of the test alleviated a lot of anxiety for me. Your daily inspirations and reminders were an unexpected but very appreciated part of the experience. Thanks for doing what you do-I am spreading the word! It really was "all in there!" Rachel

Dear Dr. Linton, I passed. I believe my experience on line helped me greatly. It really prepared me in many areas especially the case studies. Yours were harder than the exam but the practice helped me as the simulations were comfortable since I had become use to doing it on line. It has been a great learning experience and improved my knowledge base extensively. Thanks. Sincerely, Char

I passed the exam on 9/18. Your program works and it is worth the money. I graduated in 1998 and never took the LCPC exam until last Friday.

I didn't know where else to put this, but wanted you to know that I have been using your site for the past month in preparation for the NCMHCE. I took it yesterday and passed with flying colors. I feel the site really prepared me for all the components as well as the format of the exam. I feel I had a much better grasp of the information because I practiced the simulations every night. Thanks again for all of your help. We will probably use the site again when my husband has to take the NCMHCE. Thank you, Jennifer

I took the NCMHCE on 8/3/09 and scored very well. I think it would have been very difficult without having used your website. I found the practice exams helped shape my thinking toward that expected by the exam. Although apprehensive when I started, I found the practice exams made the test seem quite familiar. I have recommended it to several co-workers who are still in residency.

Dear Dr. Linton, I passed my exam in Seattle, Washington (NCMHCE) on the first try....thanks to the gift of your website where I was able to study intensively for a month.

Just wanted to let you know that I took the LCPC exam for IL on July 11, 2009 and PASSED the first time. I was freaking out since I couldn't get into a workshop because I worried about not being able to grasp the test strategy. I'd like to let your users know that your site was so helpful that I passed with 39 points to spare (total combined between each section). I would recommend your users to complete EVERY simulation that you post as well as do the Abigail many times. I also downloaded your ebook and studied the DSM-IV. I work in a group practice and have a 3 year old and a crazy busy social life so I only seriously studied for 2 and a half weeks. I bought another study guide which was not worth the money, so your study guide is worth the price in terms of the material and how it helped with answering the questions to the simulations. I'd be happy to share with your users how I approached studying for this exam. I also subscribed to your site when I studied for the LPC a couple years ago and I passed that the first time as well. Many thanks to you and your team for creating such a wonderful site! Joy

Your web site was crucial to my success in passing the licensing exam last week.

I just wanted to let you know that I took the exam yesterday and passed with more 30 points to spare (combined -23 on info gathering and 7 on decision-making) . I had a one month online subscription in March but had to delay my exam due to a family member's hospitalization. I then bought the Handbook of Review materials to supplement my online experience. It worked!

THANK YOU!!! Your site is fabulous and the emails you send are great too! I was talking with a friend before the exam and challenging my own anxiety I simply thought of your words "it's in there." That really helped so much!!! So I passed, in fact I did well. Your website really worked with my visual learning style, actually better than any other materials I have.

Hi Dr. H…I just wanted to let you know that I passed the NCMHCE today on my first try! I had the 3 month subscription and consistently took the practice exams.

Hello, Dr. Linton! Wanted to thank you for the site and tell you I effectively ‘smoked the NCMHCE exam like a cheap cigar’ with the help of counselingexam.com!! The simulations were right on and I felt confident during the test. I will certainly send all of my fellow colleagues to your site as they start the study process. Now off to enjoy a nice Cuban cigar in celebration. I think the greats of our profession would approve. Thanks again for all that you do!

DEAR DR HUTCHINSON: HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR DEVELOPING YOUR FANTASTIC WEB SITE? I FINALLY PASSED THE EXAM TODAY. AFTER STUDYING FOR 2 YEARS & 2 MONTHS THIS WAS THE FIFTH TIME I TOOK THE NCMHCE EXAM. WHEN I TOOK IT THE LAST TIME IN OCTOBER I MISSED PASSING THE EXAM BY ONE POINT NEEDLESS TO SAY I N-E-V-E-R WOULD HAVE PASSED WITH OUT YOUR WEBSITE. YOUR NEW POWER POINT PRESENTATION WHICH REINFORCED THE TESTS & ABBREVIATIONS WAS ALSO FANTASTIC & VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I WILL CALL YOU MONDAY.

Hi, Linton, Wanted to let you know I passed the NCMHCE today with a much higher than needed score. The material & simulations on your site were all I studied for this exam. So, THANKS! BTW, my exam was computerized. No marker, no moving from page to page. Just straight forward check the box. There was a history of the simulation aspect so I could look back and see the information from previous sections. I found that most helpful.
Freda
USA -

Linton, I PASSED! I did really good on the exam....I can't believe it. Thank you for the strategies. I took notes and solved each case study like a detective. :) I am reccomending the site to everyone......I think that practicing the simulations is the key to doing well on the exam. At first on the site, I was failing the simulations by a point or two, but then with practice after a week or so I was passing them. I already had all the nowledge necessary.....I just needed to brush up on my diagnosis and learn the strategies to aid my confidence in my test taking ability. Thank you. Christi

Hello Linton, I have been thinking about any insight I have gained after taking the exam twice, and thankfully passing on the second time. I really believe going over ALL the simulations, which total about 150, multiple times until I really understood every detail, really helped me a lot. The first time I gave myself a month before the exam to practice the simulated cases, which obviously was almost enough because I only missed passing by one point. The additional months studying the information and taking the practice tests really made the difference. I have to say I really know the cases and diagnoses like the back of my hand. I am so thrilled I passed. I recommended your website to two people I know who have recently registered. Thank you for all of your support. Jenny

Dr. Linton, I passed the NMHCE!!! I sat for it this morning. Thank you for your help on the telephone, the ebook, and the online prep course. I went from knowing pretty much nothing, being out of school for 10 years, to passing the exam - 86% on the IG (61% was passing) and 79% on the DM (71% was passing). I did a lot of studying in there - about 2 hours a day on average, some days more than that. But without your course I doubt I could have passed. I don't know if you like feedback about the prep course and/or what I remember from the actual test? If so, let me know and I'll prepare some stuff for you. Again, thank you, Elizabeth

Dr Linton You are the BOMB!!!!! It was all there!!!! I passed the LMHC Test and sincerely believe that the main reason for this success was due to your web site which did an excellent job drilling the concepts. As a matter of fact, I found the test less complicated in their simulations than the ones I had used from your web site. I will certainly pass on the good word to anyone interested in passing the test. Thanks again. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I immediately took a vacation and just got back home.

The information on your website was exactly what I needed to pass. Thank you so much for providing such a valuable tool for potential candidates. I will continue to support your website and encourage all mental health interns and students to invest in this study site. You made studying fun. Thanks so much for the support and encouragement! Sincerely, Lori

I took your course back in February and then took the exam and missed by 4 points. When I called to inform you that I didn't pass the exam, you were true to your word. I was enrolled in the course a second time at NO EXTRA CHARGE. This time I sat down and really went through every aspect of your course. Now I just passed with flying colors. Thanks Dr. Hutchinson!!!!!

Dr. Hutchinson: I just received my result in Florida and I PASSED! Your on-line tutorial was THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for inventing something so applicable to the test! I'm telling EVERYONE how beneficial your study material was for me. Not only was the on line practice simulations helpful, however, the test taking tips were of great value as well. While taking the test I did as you advised(TOOK A BREAK after 5 Simulations)" ~ After I took a break, I drank my water, ate my chocolate and was good to go! I will tell ANYONE, order your study guide, practice the on-line tutorial, and USE the wisdom to succeed that you have given in your instructions and THEY WILL PASS! Thank you again and God Bless!

Just wanted to let you know I passed the NCMHCE in Florida yesterday. It was a difficult exam and using your site for three months really helped. I will never forget getting a phone call from Linton himself...the advice to write additional information given was right on and really helped as my test was the computer version. I will miss the daily inspirations but have saved a few favorites!

Dr. Hutchinson, I am writing to express my gratitude for your website. I used the LPC site last year and the social work site this year and I passed both exams the first time. I shared your website with many of my classmates as they are preparing to take the social work exam soon. The memory device: Farmer Aladdin Raises Expensive Apples From India was very helpful to me. Thank you for your practice tests and daily email support! A grateful licensee, Amy

Hi Linton, It's me again, this time saying Thank You for your continued attention to my many questions. I passed the exam today, with scores several numbers above the required passing grade (meaning it's not a fluke, I really did pass). I made a couple silly mistakes which I recognized immediately and otherwise did great. The simulations did it for me, getting comfortable with the way the test is designed and understanding where my weaknesses were. Like I told you before I took the test the first time cold turkey, and went in today far more prepared. Your site is well worth the expense. Nadine

You were more than a small part of my success in passing the test! I could never have done it without you. If truth be told, I know much more about the field now than I did before studying with your site. I am in the substance abuse field and therefore my experience is limited in some areas (such as working with children). Through studying on your site, I learned a great deal about case scenarios that I do not regularly encounter in my job.

Dr. Linton: I passed my NCMHCE exam in Florida last Monday. Because your simulations were actually much more difficult than the actual exam, I was well prepared.

This is not a question; just appreciation for how your site prepared me for the exam, which I took last Saturday and passed with high marks.

Thank you for your help!

Linton, You won't believe it, but I actually PASSED the LPC exam...I found out yesterday! I couldn't be more thrilled or surprised! Since Virginia requires that the scores go directly to the VA Board, I have not seen my exact scores yet, but will once I send them the fee for my licensure. In case you don't remember, I reallllly thought I had failed because I was unable (because of going to the wrong section) to complete 7 out of 9 pages of one simulation. I guess I must have done as well as I hoped on the other 9 simulations! I just wanted to let you know...and to thank you for your support and especially the website you created. Quite honestly, it was a fantastic tool in terms of preparing for the national exam. Thank you again...hope this makes sense as I've hardly slept! Have a great week...:) Harold

Dear Linton, Just a note to thank you so much for putting together the web site. I had a snowballs chance of passing the exam when I relocated to Massachusetts form NYC. I might as well have been from a different planet. My training was psychodynamic, i.e., Freud and British Object Relations. I wouldnt have known Reality Thereapy if it ate my lunch . . . and oh, did I mention: I'M AN ART THERAPIST!!! There was nothing on the exam that compared with my practice; I work at an agency which treats the chronically mentally ill - Axis 2 and pschotic disorders . . . But Linton, you steered me in the right direction. I followed the instructions: studied for 3 months, at least an hour/day. I read the books, did the quizes and staggered through the simulations and I passed - not just squeaked by, but well in the comfort zone. So THANK YOU again and yes, I will recommend your website to all the other art therapists out there. Relieved that I dont have to do the hideous thing again, Caren

Hi Linton... What a surprise to hear back from you! Thank you. I certainly didn't expect a reply. I truly enjoyed taking the exam. I felt so prepared based on your materials. I think that format for an exam tests ones knowledges in such a more realistic way than the typical multiple choice or true false format. I felt extremely prepared for the exam going into it. After the exam, I felt that for whatever reason, the exam itself was easier than your simulation tests!

This message is for Dr. Linton and his supporting stuff. Though I have been in this country for many years my English is still my second language. I want to share with you my joy for passing the NCMHCE. You have being instrumental in helping me understand the fine nuances of the exam. I gues the first time I was not ready to pass it -only by a few points. I passed it the second time this year. Your generousity of allowing me to continue studying for the length of my subscription with no additional cost is very much appreciated. Money are as you know in short supply in this field! Thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Hutchinson, et al: I just wanted to thank you for your awesome website. I purchased access to your site for 60 days because of my schedule. It was the best money I ever spent. The simulations were extremely helpful, and without them, I don’t know whether I would have passed the Florida State Mental Health exam. The DSM case studies really helped to tap the knowledge that was “in there” already and get it into my brain in an organized manner! Everything on the site was applicable. Taking the simulations became fun, and I was much less stressed for the exam. I took it with only two other people and heard a lot of clicking with the mouse and both left early. I don’t know about them, but I know I followed your recipe and not only passed but did extremely well. I can’t thank you enough! I will tell everyone I know preparing for this exam about your site!

Dear Linton. I passed the exam! I think your site help me much. It gave me a good idea of what the exam was about, it encouraged me to revise the DSM to complement topics, research assessment methods I had never heard off, etc. and helped me see my weak points. Thanks for the help provided.

I just wanted to let you know that I aced the exam this afternoon! Thankyou for your insight into how to take the NCMHCE exam as I finished it in just over an hour and passed easily. The key for me was to just do simulation after simulation on your website. I found that your sims were much harder than those on the test and that made it very smooth for me. Thanks again and I will continue to recommend your website to those taking this exam.

I just took my exam on Saturday. I don’t know how I did; the exam was long and difficult. I did exactly what you suggested, at the end of the 5th simulation I took some time to go, stretch, and drink some water. I went right back to work, and didn’t lift my head up until I finished. Let me tell you, I was seeing double by the time I finished. I want you to know that I found the simulations on the web site very very very valuable!!! I also found the inspirational emails, well inspirational. Thank you so much, those emails kept me going. As you must know by the end you begin to feel brain dead and like it’s just not worth it. However, those emails gave me that extra push to keep going. I loved the web site and will be recommending it to all of my friends. Thank you so much Beck

Dear Linton, I am writing to tell you I passed the exam! I took your course for a week before sitting for the exam in on January 21st. I do believe it was the ability to visit your site and take the practice tests, as well as studying all of the other information you provided, that really clinched the deal for me. Your daily emails were very helpful, as well. I was especially appreciative of the email you sent 3 days before the test which talked about the desire to trash the whole deal (and maybe move to the Bahamas). I had come in to work feeling just what you described, and felt enormously relieved to hear that it was normal. Thank you for providing such an encouraging and informative service. I'm sure there have been many before me, and will continue to be many after me, who will benefit greatly from your expertise. Blessings, Lynn

I took the NCMHCE in Florida on Jan. 22 and got the letter yesterday, result: PASS!!!!!!! You were absolutely right about it being an extremely difficult exam; however, your prep course hit the test areas right on the mark. I found the simulations and case studies extremely helpful and practiced them over and over again. I spoke with a few others who were retaking the exam for the second, third, and even fourth time!! I recommended your course, and will continue to recommend it to others.

I know it has been almost one year since I took the exam but have referred several of my friends to your study site. Your site and daily emails really gave me the tools I needed to pass the exam. I went 2 days ahead of time to get my bearings, check out the room (glad I did because I almost froze working in the library the day before the exam, and travel time from my hotel. I took a bottle of water, just in case they would let me have it in the exam room (they did, if we left it on the floor until break), and took a power bar and of course a jacket and the paperwork needed to enter the exam. Your email about groups just a few days before the exam was right on time for me to look up what I needed to know for the exam as I hadn't studied for groups. I had been out of school for nine years so I really appreciated all your encouragement. Please tell your students that they really need to sit at their computer for the length of time they will have to do for the exam. My psychologist recommended this and it was a real eyeopener for me. I was able to sit for that length of time and was able to schedule my breaks at the times I needed them and didn't waste time worrying about them. This helped keep my anxiety down to a manageable level. Keep up the great work. Everything you gave me was very necessary. I was told that only 50% passed the exam here in Florida and I could see why, those 50% didn't study your exam guide! Thanks again, it was well worth the money spent, I did about 3 months of study with your guide. It was not too much and was concerned that I had not studied enough. I used all my relaxation techniques and positive thinking and prayer I could to keep positive for the exam. I did send for the study guide and marker for the exam from the exam company and that was really helpful as it is a very unusual exam. I knew what to do through the exam. The proctors don't know the exam, just the process of taking the exam. It made all the difference to have gone through the exam guide and use the marker. Thanks again, I am now a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. Deanna

Dr. Hutchinson: I just wanted to let you know that I passed my NCMHE exam recently, after taking the test the 2nd. time. The first time that I took the test I had studied on my own but really didn't know what to expect of the test and failed it. I took your study course and increased my score by over 50 points. I'm sure this sounds like an advertisement for your product but I really appreciated how your course was designed. The daily encouragement notes were very helpful, especially after failing the test the first time and being fearful of failing again. I found that your study material was more demanding than the actual test so that if a person will spend the time studying your material, they will be more than prepared for the actual test. Thank you, Welby

I have suggested the study site to several people, one who will be taking the test in January. I never wrote to let you know how much the site helped me prepare for the NCMHCE exam (due to extreme brain fatigue and burnout)! But, the information and style of practice that your site offers is very well done. As a matter of fact, it is the only study guide that I used. Keep up the good work and don't forget to remind people that this test is "different" to say the least. If I hadn't had practice with the style of the test, I doubt I would be writing you this letter today. Thanks so much. Casandra

I am a 2000 graduate from the Clinical Psychology program at UCF and I took the exam in January 2003 and passed with flying colors with the help of your website. It had been recommended to me by a friend and a result of my use, I recommended it to many of my colleagues who took the exam in June. I am happy to say that they all passed with flying colors. Your website is an excellent resource for the exam. The simulations were the most helpful, but I also found your test taking strategies helpful. I have never been one to need test taking strategies, but i found myself struggling with some of the simulations so I decided to give it a try. I can't tell you how much that helped me. For example, your pointers on reading the question and only answering what the test designers were asking and not necessarily what I would do in reality was the best. I really had to get "into the mind" of the test designers and that proved beneficial. Anyway, thanks for your help. Sincerely, Brad

Dr. Hutchinson, Thank you for your help in passing my exams. I enjoyed your website so much that I am telling my friends about it. I know that I was supposed to use other study material besides your website, but I can honestly say that your websites (both the NCE and NCMHCE study sites) were the only study material that I used and I passed both exams, the same weekend, with flying colors! This was after being out of school for over 2 years and spending about one solid hour per day on your websites (half hour each) for exactly one month. I guess I am bragging a little, but I never could have done it without your help! It's in there!!! Thanks, Kraig

Just wanted to drop a line to let you know I passed the exam on the first try! I didn't just squeak by, either. I passed with around an 86 or 87% overall. I wanted to tell you that your site was very helpful to me in getting me familiar with the format of the exam. I think if I had not been using your simulations, the ones on the exam might have made me uncomfortable. For future exam takers, please pass along another study tip that I found useful....it's "old fashioned," but it really helped me. I made index cards like flash cards for ALL the diagnoses in the DSM-IV. By the time I studied those a few hundred times, I pretty well knew the DSM and had no trouble on the exam. Thanks again, Eileen

Ellen here. Just wanted to let you know that I passed!!!!!! (first time) Yipeee! Although I certainly didn't ace it, I did have plenty of room to spare to still pass. As I look back, I think doing loads of simulations and your sections that really forced me to go back to my DSM were the keys to success (and the earplugs, of course). Please pass that on to others. Thanks again for providing this service -- it's so much more fun to study your way! -- and for your accessibility and encouraging words.
Ellen

Your program really helped me. It was the best $120. I ever spent. I did all the simulations and exercises one month leading up to the exam. Once I got to the end of the simulations I went over them again the week of the exam and definitely noticed an improvement in the number of simulations that I was getting correct. The program helped me to focus on what was being asked in the simulation instead of using all that I know. Using all that you know can cost you points as I was quick to learn.

So thank you for all the effort and work you put into the site. I will recommend it to anyone. It truly prepares you so comfortably for the test.

How can I get into the "people say" category to let everyone know what a positive experience I have had with your materials? I PASSED the NCMHCE exam the first time and am so excited! I really appreciate your e-mails of support. Please let me know what I can do to spread the word! Thanks!

Just a follow-up e-mail to let you know that I passed the NCMHCE with flying colors. I believe this is due in part to your website. I do have one criticism. I have signed on to your site in the past and was very put off by the number of spelling errors. It made me question the "professionalism" of the company running it and decided not to enroll. It was only after I met someone who had passed the test on the first try and "swore" by the helpfulness of your site that I decided to sign up. I am glad that I did of course and am recommending it to my colleagues who are now facing the exam but I have warned them already about the spelling errors. Thank you so much. Suzanne

I am happy to report to you that I received my NCMCHE results and I passed (the first time!)!!! I want to thank you for providing such a supportive and helpful website. Before having learned of www.CounselingExam.com I had purchased study materials from another exam prep provider. Although their written materials were helpful, it was your daily motivational e-mails and the down-to-earth style of your website that helped me to remain calm and focused as I prepared for the BIG & SCARY exam. Your support was more helpful then that of some of my friends and family who just didn't get what I was going through - so Thank You! I will definately refer future NCMECE-takers to your site. Take Care! Jody

Just wanted to check back today; got my results and I passed!!! I am so excited. Your online course helped me immensely, even though when I walked out of that test I was SURE that I had failed. Ironically, I think I felt that way because I had studied so hard I was aware of many that I messed up on (besides the message "not indicated"!) The simulations helped me; I did all of them many times; I also found the dissecting a case study very helpful. I got 131 out of possible 153 on information gathering and 124 out of possible 165 decision making. Thank-you again for the study materials and the encouraging e-mails throughout the process. Please use this as a recommendation for others, if you wish. Appreciatively, Carly

Dr. Linton, great news...I got my exam results today on valentines day and I PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS ON MY FIRST TRY. I want to thank you for your sit and the help it provided. I did not have time to study for months nor use other materials, therefore I have your site and the simulations you provided to thank for my success. I would definitely and highly recommend your site to everyone out there. Mona

I am a Federal Civil Service worker and I just wanted to tell you all that I took my NCE in April 02 and passed with a score of 127 and my NCMHCE in October 02 with a IG score of 126 out of 152 (83%) and a DM score of 144 out of 180 (80%). I was so sure that I would fail - so sure that I decided to take each exam separately instead of together even though in the state of Illinois I only need a 65% to pass these exams. I would recommend this website to anyone applying for licensure. I don't think I could have passed without it, especially because I did not have a lot of the clinical coursework back when I graduated in 1989. Thanks - I'm shouting your praises all the way from Tennessee! Alicia

Dr. Hutchinson, Just a note to say "thanks" for getting me through the exam. I PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS! I was intimidated by the difficulty of the exam as it requires a different level of applying knowledge and synthesizing critical data. I admit that I was suspect in working off your web based module (fearing that I was not getting what I needed). However, your learning format got me thinking with the appropriate level of abstraction needed to pass the exam. It has been a long road, but your program helped to pave the way during the most necessary points. Thanks again. Jeff

I just got my NCMHCE scores for Virginia and I passed! I have to thank you again for the work you put into the review - especially the simulations - which allowed me to pass this exam on the first try - and with only 4 weeks notice that I'd be taking the clinical exam instead of the 200 question NCE! Keep up the good work! Karen

I just received the results from my October NCMHE exam and I passed! I used your site as the main form of studying for this exam and needed little other information that was not provided on your site. I not only passed but received very high scores that I attribute to your help. I would recommend this method for any of my collegues that are going to take this exam in the future. Thanks again.

Well, Dr. Linton the results are in...(drum roll please) I PASSED! I am so grateful for your online service and I want you to know how much the sims helped. I had fairly high marks (to my amazement). You asked me to follow up and I am sending some more folks your way who are supervisees. All my best, Sonja

I received my results on Friday, and am happy to report that I passed the NCMHCE. I studied for the exam for about 11 months. All of the study was helpful, however your site made the difference for me. It brought all of the information that I had studied together, and helped me to develop a strategy for passing. I did the simulations over and over, and this was critical to passing. Thank you! Lexie

Dear Dr. Linton, Test results arrived Friday, 16 Aug and I passed. For the IG section there was a possible 168 pts with 110 pts required to pass, I had a 131; the DM section had a possible 165 points with 127 pts required to pass, I had 127. Thanks for your prep course, it helped me to focus on using the DSMIV in ways that I never had to in the daily practice at a residential center for adolescents. The differential diagnosis practice and the related treatment planning possibilities were invaluable. Also, the course helped to focus my questions toward the specific diagnosis, where as, working with kids and getting them to talk about anything helps to eventually lead to the area of concern. When I first started your prep course I would ask many things that weren't directly related to the diagnosis.

Just wanted to add my testimony to those posted on the website. I got my test results today and passed very comfortably. The practice I got from the simulations and questions had a huge impact on my performance. Even after I took the exam, I extended my membership because I noticed such a sharpening of my diagnostic skills as a result of daily practice. Thanks so much for being a part of this success. Lisa

Just to let you know, "I PASSED" the VA LPC exam - Thanks, your web site helped greatly. I especially like the simulations and felt more confident as that was a large portion of the exam. VA has the same format as the National Exam (or so I'm told) except there is no extra 40 questions that are being beta tested. Once again - "Your site was a Great Help". Keep up the good work"

Whew, I passed the NCMHCE exam for Florida licensure in April 2002 with points to spare on what felt like a bear of a test. I want to thank you for your website as it was a tremendous help to this veteran school counselor who did not know nor use the DSMIV diagnoses before beginning to study 2 months before the test. I also used Linda Seligman's book on treatments and did take a workshop. I felt well prepared until I saw the test when I nearly panicked, but came through fine. Thanks again. Cindy

Linton, I want to thank you for providing such a useful tool in studying for the exam. I took the test yesterday and feel I did well, but the proof will be when I receive notice of a positive score. Your site provided much needed stimulation as I became deconditioned and stale as I repeated the information to myself. Your programs almost became an addiction and I used the various sections almost as a game after a while. I bet you I will suffer from withdrawal for a time because I truly had fun. Anyway, thanks again and I will let you know if I passed in June. Sincerely, Lisa

Dr. Linton, You have been so helpful, greatly appreciated, a motivating force, and most enduring... inspirational. I needed and enjoyed the humor and encouragement along the way.

Wow. My head hurts though not any worse than my neck. And I can't see. Ok...so much for complaints. Thank you. Really, thank you. Your site was worth every penny...and then some. Yep...shoulda, coulda, woulda; didn't. The simulations are worth their weight in gold as is the DSM work. Missed a few - had a few "no..try again". It's not you but me that needs improvement. At any rate, thank you so very much. I'll recommend you to everyone. Cheryl

I got my results in the mail today. I passed with a total average of 82% The passing score was around 65%. Your course and Linda Seigleman's book made it possible!!! I couldn't imagine taking that test without the preparation your course provided. I'm a very visual learner and your course helped in the way that books and tapes could not. Since this test is so unique, it is so helpful to practice the mechanics of taking it. You are the only one that offers that!! Thanks again for the extra few days you gave me on your site prior to the test. Please feel free to share my comments.

I wanted to thank you for your service and your suggestions of other materials to study. Beat the cut-off for IG by 41 points and DM by only 2..SEgilman's book and the practice questions really helped this old guy get back into the way the test developers think and bring me up on the DSM-IV. I love the supporting e-mails in the final weeks becuase they made me feel you knew truly what we were ging through. You must not be doing it only for the money--especially when I consider what the materials and workshops that I am using for the EPPP in the spring. thanks Tom

Dear DR. Hutchinson: I would like to thank you for your wonderful web site! Needless to say, I passed my NBCC Licensure examination with flying colors (85%). Your simulations were both relvant and a valuable study tool and I have since recommended you to my intern-collegues. I found your review both intriguing and informative as well as a more than adequate preparation for the examination. It was, without doubt, the BEST $20 I've spent! Why spend hundreds of dollars on foolish review courses. Your review has it all. I will spread the news from the mountaintops! A+++++++ in my book. Thank you and keep up the good work!

You had asked for feedback on your sites helpfulness with the exam and I wanted to provide some but frankly I wanted to wait until I received the results of the exam incase I just had a false sense of security after taking it. I felt as if I had passed it right away. Your site was the most useful and the most cost efficient means I had to study. I bought expensive study guides and attended an expensive course but it really did little in the way of preparing me. I just continued to do the scenarios and I strongly feel that is what helped me the most. It really gave me a good working feeling of the test and when I went in there it was basically just like logging on to the site only a little more intense. I passed, and I did great on it. Thanks. The e-mails I received also helped as I felt I had a friend and support. Pass on my feedback. Michele

Dear Dr. L. Hutchinson, I want to thank you for such a valuable service you are providing. I just received word that I PASSED the Virginia LPC exam. I had been out of school and in practice for 12 years so I was nervous about taking it. When I started taking the practice exams provided by Virginia and your service, I failed most of them. So I crammed for two months and did every one of your case examples (52 of them , I think) over and over until I became comfortable with the process and got good scores. The passing grade on the Virginia exam was 75 - I got an 88! Many thanks for enabling me to be well-prepared! Deborah

Dr. Hutchinson, What an absolutely wonderful resource for those of us taking the licensure exam!! Not only was the information necessary to help pass but so were the supportive e-mails sent on an almost daily basis reassuring me that the information was "in there." Just today I received my scores and passed the July exam here in Florida. I reccomend this site to anyone who is planning on taking the exam in the future. Thank you for your resources and support as well as encouragement!! Brenda

Hi Linton, I haven't written you in awhile and have meant to do so. I wanted to thank-you for your fantastic program. It was enormously helpful. You have a big fan up here in Chicago and I continue to spread the word about your site. The good news is that I PASSED!! The results reached my home yesterday--with trembling hands I opened the envelope and was elated with the results. Not only did I pass, but I kicked butt!!! :) Thanks again for you wisdom and encouragement, Teri

Hello Dr. Linton Hutchinson, My name is Lynn and I subscribed to your site for the April 21, 2001 NCMHCE exam. I only subscribed for a few weeks and I must say that I felt good going into the exam. I recently found out that I passed and I just wanted to send a thank you for all the help. Thanks again, Lynn

Dear Linton, I just want to say thanks so much for making your fabulous resource available to those of us preparing for licensure. I subscribed to your website for three months prior to taking the Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor exam on April 21, 2001. I am convinced that your site, along with Dr. Andrew Helwig's Study Guide, enabled me to pass with flying colors the first time out of the gate. I am no spring chicken...it has been nearly 20 years since I entered graduate school in counseling, and because I had a full-time job in an unrelated field, it took me 10 years to acquire the 4000 hours of clinical experience I needed to sit for the exam. Needless to say, I had a great deal riding on a passing score. I found your site pertinent, comprehensive and interesting...not to mention the e-mails which were especially helpful. Thanks so much for being there! Eleanor

Thank you for your online service and your encouraging words. I just took the test today, for licensure as a professional counselor. After I decided to take it, I only had three weeks to study seriously. I've been out of school for about a year and-a-half,and have been thinking of taking this test for several years,now, since a couple of years before I even enrolled in graduate school. Your online study program helped me a lot, and for that I thank you.

Your site was extremely useful. It helped me connect with my "in there" knowledge and consolidate what I've been studying these past few weeks. That was critical because circumstances made it impossible for me to stick to my original three-month study plan.

I thought your simulations were very detailed and that was good because it made me know the information backwards and forwards. Often I did not know the right answer but I knew three of the four answers and could eliminate and pick easier
