Dear counselor,

Are you worried about taking your licensing or certification exam . . . you know, dreading it . . . anxious . . . experiencing an occasional sleepless night . . . a nervous afternoon . . . the whole bit. Would you like me to show you how to eliminate that nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach? Would that be nice? If so, then this could be the most important letter you will ever read. In this very letter I’m going to reveal precisely how to prepare for the exam while you actually look forward to studying and enjoy the process.

“They laughed when I said I could create materials so enjoyable counselors would actually look forward to preparing for the exam . . . but after thousands of counselors used my materials and passed. . . .”

I’ve just assembled a bigger, better, and newer program. . . I call it the Valedictorian Mastery Tool Kit . . . and it has no equal. This amazing program allows you to arm yourself to the teeth with information while you enjoy the preparation process. Some counselors actually insist that (dare I say it) I have made the exam preparation process . . . fun! Anyway, this exclusive package deal is only available from me. You cannot purchase it from any other website or book distributor in the world!

Counselors: Warning, buy no study guide until you read this!

Before you spend even one penny of your hard-earned money on a prep guide you should know precisely what you are getting! Is it a self-published three ring binder? Is the author merely reading that three-ring binder into the some cassette tapes to add tapes to the set and therefore mark up the price . . . .etc. My top-of-the-line, Limited edition Valedictorian Mastery Tool Kit includes four key items:

The purple book just got a whole lot better! This is the first package ever to include new special 15^th Anniversary edition of my bestseller the Encyclopedia of Counseling. This book includes 1050 (not a misprint) tutorial questions and answers . . . that’s 50 more than the old edition floating around. No area of the exam is left out. This massive tome is fun and lively. In fact, it reads like a novel, but imparts information like a post- graduate text. Been out of school for a while? No problem! My book takes you by the hand and begins with baby steps that effectively teach you the material step-by-step from start to finish. There is no other licensing book like it. Each tutorial question has a very easy-to-understand and detailed explanation of the answer so it could literally help you answer several questions on the actual exam! Tons of repetition for important concepts. Forget what they told you about last minute cramming for the exam: this hot off the presses edition features a Last Minute Super Review Section that is so powerful some prepublication readers admitted they would pay the price of the book just to get their hands on this superb mini-review. Over the years, the Encyclopedia, or the “purple book” as counselors affectionately call it, has spent time in the top 5 of the top 100 counseling book charts. Lately, the Encyclopedia is virtually always in the top five slots and on occasion it has been sitting pretty in the number one position. Suffice it to say that the Rosenthal materials work . . . success leaves clues! But remember that the version of this book that you will receive is better and even more reader-friendly than the one that amassed all the accolades in the past
Forget being a slave to your desk or your computer monitor, my 18 CD “listen and learn program” Vital Information and Review Questions can turn a traffic jam or a day at the beach into a world class learning experience! Simply put: This remarkable audio program is bigger, better, and livelier than any National Counselor Exam audio program ever created. This is strictly a one-of-a-kind program that has no equal. What does this set of 18 CDs in a handsome oversize carrying case cover? Not a legitimate question. A better question is: What doesn’t it cover? On the first ten CDs I will give you easy-to-understand presentations on each and every area of the exam. My lectures are lively and at times humorous. Next, you’ll receive six full length CDs jam packed with 325 tutorial questions and answers . . . more that any previous version. Here again, you’ll love my explanations! They are easy-to-comprehend (even if it has been years since you’ve been in grad school). Like the Special 15^th Anniversary Encyclopedia of Counseling, the answer to each tutorial question on my CDs could help you answer several questions on the exam. Like the Encyclopedia, I pack my audio CDs with lots of memory devices and test hint after test hint. I routinely receive e-mails from counselors insisting my audio program covered more material than their entire master’s program. Rachel Benson writes, “Loved the program. I mean I just couldn’t wait to drive to or from work and turn on the boom box sitting next to me on the front seat or put on my portable CD player headphones. I know it sounds strange, but you Dr. Rosenthal became like a trusted friend. Truthfully, I didn’t want the audio series to end.” A major Midwest book shipment warehouse reports that Dr. Rosenthal’s tape program outsold any audio program they have ever sold on any subject from any publisher!!! And remember – this new CD program clearly surpasses the heretofore cassette tape version. Better sound quality . . . no tape hiss . . . more volume . . . additional information in every exam area. . . lots of extra test hints and memory devices you won’t find elsewhere. And remember: My CDs do not consist of me reading the Encyclopedia into a microphone! The information is put forth in a different manner. My new test anxiety prevention audio compact disc CD that surpasses my old cassette edition of this program is now included in the program. I will share a host of techniques you aren’t using now to stop test terror dead in its tracks. But wait, it gets even better. I’ll take you to the next level and actually put you through a guided imagery relaxation session. This is virtually the identical session that I have literally put hundreds of clients through in my private practice at a fee of nearly $100. You’ll also receive my Final Super Review Audio CD. Use on the last few days before the exam . . . or even on the day of the exam . . . to summarize everything. Includes last minute updates and alternative explanations. Combine it with the new review in the Encyclopedia for the ultimate in preparation. Every CD is packed with tracks for easier navigation.

I’ll also include my first-ever Human Services Dictionary. This 360-page text includes easy-to-understand definitions intentionally worded to help you tackle tough exam questions. A great reference for the field in general as well as an excellent reference for researching exam terms. Here is a book you will cherish in the years to come. Award winning student Flora Fazio writes, “that Dictionary is a piece of gold.” Get your copy and invest in your professional future! In this package I’ll be shipping you a paperback version, nevertheless, the hardback version used in libraries etc. that contains the identical information sells for $100.00. Sales of this book to counselors preparing for exams have soared in the last year. Forget tired eyes and sore fingers from searching the Internet: Within these covers you’ll find the words you want to know with the definitions you need.

Tell me something I don’t know! Okay, how about this: Ethical questions could now be showing their face on comprehensive and exit exams that were never covered in any class you took or ever discussed in your graduate classes! Who knew? That’s why I created a brand new 51 minute exciting new 2008 CD called Cutting Edge Ethics. It neatly synthesizes the information from a dozen or so key articles on the subject penned by the top experts in the field. This lively, upbeat audio CD is not available from any other Internet Site, Bookseller, publisher, or distributor in the world: you can only get it here. But wait . . . it gets even better because if you purchase my Valedictorian Mastery Tool Kit I’ll send you a copy FREE of charge! Even though I want you to listen to it LAST you will most likely receive it 5 to 7 days BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE BALANCE OR YOUR MATERIALS. If you want the CD and you aren’t purchasing the Valedictorian Mastery Tool Kit send a check, money order, or paypal payment (drhowardr@juno.com) to me for $20.00. Rush your payment to me at: Dr. Howard Rosenthal, Dept. SS 396, 3417 Cottonwood Drive, Saint Charles, MO 63301.

Read this if you are worried about the cost of your exam materials . . . and I’ll show you how to save even more money!

Actual Price Comparison Study

What do NCE programs really cost? I decided not to trust the ads. Why? Well, simply put, I discovered that some ads are very misleading. For example, some companies have mega-expensive “add ons” not to mention additional standard postage charges hovering around the $20.00 mark! So, I conducted my own test. I actually contacted each company and asked what the actual price with delivery would be for their best program. Here are the results:

Rosenthal Valedictorian Master Course: $188.00 delivered (free shipping!) prior to possible discounts

Competitor A: $275.00 plus an undisclosed postage charge I would be quoted after the order was placed

Competitor B: $260.000 delivered

Competitor C: Ad implied program was $199. The actual price for top program was $428.99 delivered!

Savings if you purchased my Valedictorian Course thus ranged from $82.00 to $250.99 depending on the program you ordered. I strongly suggest you make your own comparison because in all fairness to my competitors prices do change. But wait . . . I’ll show you how to boost your savings even higher!

Why counselors and experts rate my materials as outstanding! I don’t need full page ads that cost thousands of dollars in the counseling newspapers to sell my materials – never have – they sell themselves!

Look, this could be the most important exam you will ever take. Therefore, I want you to have supreme confidence my materials. Of course, I’m going to tell you my materials are great. I’ve spent years, and thousands of hours researching hundreds of books, journals, and scholarly sources. And then countless more years and hours summarizing the material, coming up with memory devices, using my unique teaching skills, and trying to make your prep experience upbeat and easy to understand. So, yes I really do believe my materials are the finest available.

I could tell you that I have amassed accolades as a teacher. For example, I’ve been named a partner author for the Teaching for Success Newsletter because I hold a record for winning their national teaching tips contests! But, needless to say, I’m biased . . . quite frankly, all authors are biased. So, here’s what I want you to do to banish the doubt. Click my testimonials page right now. There you will find testimonial after testimonial from counselors just like you . . . success story after success story.

You’ll read testimonials, primarily regarding my licensing materials . . . but also for other valuable resources I’ve created for counselors . . . from agency counselors, private practitioners, grad students, professors, counselor educators, school counselors, clinicians, administrators, book authors, a pastor, a professional organization, and even Albert Ellis, the father of REBT, who recommends my suicide prevention book!

Note that unlike some of our competitors these are true testimonials that end with real names. Often these folks even allowed us to put their position and where they work. We all wonder when we see testimonials that end in “ML, a counselor in Idaho” or “JK of Arkansas says” if the testimonial is real (and rightly so).

Simply put: my materials deliver the goods. Close your eyes and imagine you have passed your CPCE exit exam or have LPC, NCC after your name on your business card. Feels pretty darn good, doesn’t it? Order your Valedictorian Mastery Tool Kit before the sun rises again. I’ll personally be looking for your order.

With a warm hand clasp,

Howard Rosenthal, Ed.D., NCC, MAC, CCMHC, LPC

Remember that if you are ready to order in the next ten (10) days you can take advantage of my $2 valuable discount and there are absolutely no hidden postage and handling charges.
