Product Description
In the third edition of Howard Rosenthal’s best-selling test preparation guide for the National Counselor Examination (NCE), students get more help than ever with an expanded section on marriage and family counseling, new material on web counseling, and updated material throughout. This resource now includes over 1,050 tutorial questions/answers and a new Final Review and Last Minute Super Review Boot Camp section. This guide is an ideal review tool for state licensing, the NCC credential, and preparation for written and oral boards. And because the new Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE), draws from the same subject areas, the Encyclopedia is a perfect study guide for the CPCE as well. Written in a unique question/answer format, with a quick reference index, this is also an essential student reference volume for use in any counseling, social work, or human services course.

 Excellent Tool to Review for NCE August 13, 2008
Since it has been more than 10 years since I completed my M.A. in Professional Counseling, I was more than worried about how to adequately prepare for the NCE... After taking and passing the NCE, I can NOW say that reading this book from cover to cover (and reviewing certain sections a 2nd time!) made all the difference for me. The Q&A format flowed nicely, and key concepts were repeatedly explained.
 does NOT resemble NCE exam items August 11, 2008

I completed all 1050 items in this book before completing a sample NBCC test...
My first pass rate for Encyclopedia questions: 84.0%
My first pass rate for the NBCC sample test questions: 63.1%
Incidentally, 63.8% (102.10/160) was the minimum passing score for the April 2007 NCE; 69% of state candidates passed, and 84% of national candidates passed. If my actual NCE score reflected my sample test score, I would have failed.
The items in this book are much easier than NBCC items, meaning that this text has the potential to impart false confidense. NBCC items are VERY well-constructed.
The Encyclopedia takes a long time to read because much of the page space in consumed by folksy, tangential, occasionally dated discussion.
I spent three days plowing through the Encyclopedia; my time would have been better spent reviewing a theories of counseling textbook.
Excellent book for NCE August 10, 2008
I purchased this book to help me study for the NCE. It is written in a conversational style which makes it easy to read and lessens the boredom of studying. I read the book cover to cover in preparation for my test, but did no other real "studying" for the exam. I passed on the first try! I would recommend this book to anyone who is studying for their NCE-- it is excellent!!
Great Purchase! August 8, 2008
This was a great purchase. It arrived quickly in perfect condition and met my needs exactly.
Great study guide! August 4, 2008
After being out of school for 5 years and not practicing a bit of counseling, I decided to apply for licensure and had to take the NCE to get it. This book was the main study tool I used (along with reviewing the current ethical guidelines for the NBCC & the state I live in, as well as the study guide provided by the NBCC). I hadn't touched a textbook in over 5 years and all I did was start 2 months before the test and read this book very carefully. I didn't pay extra for the tapes or anything else. I didn't feel ready for the test and was terrified when I took it, but I ended up passing and scored well beyond the minimum passing score!
This book is a great tool and I highly recommend it! Make sure you get the study guide booklet from the NBCC as well because some of those questions in there were nearly identical to those on the actual test.
