Exam Info & Registration
Exam Content Outline
The NCE is a requirement for counselor licensure in many states. It may also be accepted by military health systems to become a recognized provider.
Creating my own exam was a really useful feature for me. When test day came, I passed with a 104 (passing score is 98-105).
