2/18/2016 I used the materials on the site to study for my final 2 weeks before the exam. I was initially attracted to the practice exams. However, I found that the flash cards, question of the day and the topic sections were extremely helpful as well. I honestly believe that had I not taken full use of the resources available on this site, I would not have passed the exam the first time I took it. Thank you!

5/18/2017 I passed today!! I wanted to provide some suggestions and info about the vignettes I was while it was still fresh in my mind. It would be helpful to add documents to the website overtly dedicated to facts about EAP processes and amount of information employers can obtain w/ a release signed. The vignette stated that I would only see this client for 4 sessions to triage, evaluate, and refer. The client was resistant to participating in the sessions because he was worried the therapist would tell his employer certain parts of his situation, and was concerned his high level security clearance would be revoked. It eventually detailed that he had a cocaine addiction and was becoming increasingly erratic. Another question in the vignette was related to safety concerns related to erratic behavior prior to the 4th session and protocol to de-escalate such (main answer seemed to be around referring him to outpatient drug treatment program and educating him on cocaine withdrawal symptoms). There was also a question on my exam about prior authorizing with insurance and key points you would need to provide to them to get further sessions authorized. I've worked w/ insurance companies so I think I got them all correct but others may not have insurance experience. Key points w/ answers to the insurance question were related to details about current mood, treatment goals (past and future), employment/family stressors, suicidal ideation, and treatment attendance. There was a V-code vignette on a 66 year old widow who had MS, referred from PCP, and was having interpersonal issues w/ her children who lived out of state. Questions were related to intake into to get diagnosis, further info to narrow diagnosis, realistic treatment modalities, and ways to assess progress. They provided additional info about husband dying 10 years ago. In the Diagnostic question it included only v-codes and I believe the options were Uncomplicated Bereavement, Phase of Life problem, Other Counseling or Consultation, or unspecified housing. The answer was Other Counseling or Consultion which was confusing. I got it right out of process of elimination, but still confusing. Other Vignettes: 15 y.o male w/ increased aggression and difficulty passing classes. Further info w/ responses indicated increased alcohol binging on the weekends, failing most classes, doing well in Math but struggling w/ reading and writing, and was being severely bullied at school. 1st 6 sessions were w/ child, as questions continued was prompted to do further 6 sessions w/ client and his parents. Assessments administered were WRAT, another intelligence test, and Adolescent Drug Involvement Scale. Assessments yield info related to significantly low reading scores. Interesting diagnostic question worded something to the effect of "You believe that the client may have adjustment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, Specific learning d/o w/ impairment in reading, or substance abuse induced mood disorder - what questions do you ask to differentiate which diagnosis is most appropriate?" Then the diagnostic question provided you w/ 4 options, and each option had 3 diagnoses. The answer was Specific learning d/o w/ impairment in reading, alcohol use d/o moderate, and social exclusion or rejection. Then there were more questions related to what to focus on in family therapy and what the outcomes of therapy would be. There was also a question related to obtaining an IEP and who all needed to be involved w/ that. 20 year old female college student who was increasingly lethargic, had moments of high energy 3 mos ago, and was experiencing severe nausea for 2 wks in the morning. Questions were related to 1st session info gathering, assessments, treatment strategies, referrals, and treatment outcomes. Seemed to try and confuse you a bit w/ indications that she was pregnant. Other symptoms that were revealed were increased hopelessness, suicidal idation w/ no intent, poor sleep, lack of concentration, and lack of motivation. No treatment history. Ultimately diagnosed w/ Bipolar II. 13 year old female w/ oppositional defiant d/o. Referred by school counselor who did not have time to manage her due to severity of aggression towards others. Largely emphasized aggression towards peers/siblings, severe agitation, mood lability, and outbursts towards teachers. Also indicated that she had few female friends and was sleeping w/ two older boys. Her father had divorced her mother and left when she was 9 and had no contact w/ him since then. Questions were related to initial intake questions, ethics around release of information to school counselor, referrals (anger mgmt, children of divorce group, and tutoring), diagnosis (which was the only diagnostic question i got wrong, I thought it was Disruptive Mood Dysregulation d/o because of aggression but thinking back I believe it stated her symptoms exacerbated after age 10 not before), assessments, treatment outcomes, and one what to do given a general improvement in her overall symptoms after 10 sessions and the answer was keep doing what you are doing. That's all I can remember right now - time to rest my brain! Thank you for your amazing website :) Best, Merritt

7/20/2017 I passed the NCMHCE on Friday! Thanks Dr Linton--your site was invaluable! The case sims were spot-on, as was the other content and review areas of the site. I highly recommend everyone thoroughly read the information on "Child Custody" Admin & Consult & Ethics. Your specific information in these areas absolutely saved me from failing the exam. Thanks again for all your support------Jeff (Japan)
