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!!

Hey, just wanted to thank you for your program. It was very helpful and prepared me well for the NCMHC exam I took today. Passed with flying colors.

This website was tremendously helpful in my preparation for the NCMHCE. I subscribed for 3 months and focused mainly on the simulations. I passed the exam on my first attempt. Thank you for putting such useful information and practice methods in one place!

Hello, I wanted to inform you that I passed my Mhc Exam this afternoon. I tried two sites and this one helped me pass my test. I even used this site before to pass my CASAC test with flying colors the first time. This website is amazing and I recommend that you utilize the simulations,Dsm info, treatment, abs case studies to pass the NCMHC exam. Thank you for being so helpful. If you want to pass, use this website. It helped me pass both my exams.I recommended this site to all my old classmates who are sitting for the exam. Monique, 5/13/13, Ny

I passed the exam this morning. It was quite difficult. However, if it weren't for the simulations that I practiced over and over again along with the rest of the study material, I don't think I would have done it the first shot. It was worth the money spent on the program. Thanks Liz

I am in Massachusetts and I took the NCMHCE exam yesterday--and passed! I absolutely know that I would not have passed the exam without your online study course. It has been seven years since I graduated with my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Although I have been working as a school adjustment counselor, that's still a lot of time--and forgetting--since I last thought about Axis I-V and DSM-IV-TR diagnosing. A year ago I became physically disabled which has necessitated me reshaping much of my life, including my career, as I am no longer able to work as I had previously. I scoured the internet searching for study guides to prepare for taking the NCMHCE. I checked the Massachusetts Mental Health Counselor's Association, the NBCC, Amazon, public libraries, university libraries, everywhere I could think of for study resources and aids. Everything I could find was either way too expensive or, because of my disability, inaccessible. As I searched, I kept coming across Dr. Linton Hutchinson and CounselingExam.com--but I was nervous. I continued researching my options and kept returning to your program. I read the reviews on your website and reveiws of your program different counselors had posted on their websites. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The fact that you accept PayPal and BillMeLater enabled me to take the plunge. I initially signed up for one month and after three weeks signed up for a second month. It fit in perfectly as I had two months before taking the exam. I recommend your program to everyone who is preparing to sit for the NCMHCE! Your simulation format IS the NCMHCE. I admit I was apprehensive as I sat in front of the computer on test day--what if I've been had!--I could not have been better prepared. I was able to individualize my studying, as I went through your program, to meet my specific learning needs. The practical day-of-the test support as well as your humor helped to ease my pre-test tension and apprehensions. The number of simulations available gave me more opportunities for practice and learning than I could get through in the two months I studied before the exam. The responses and explanations provided, question by question, line by line, helped me clearly understand where I was slipping up and set me on the right track. You cover every area of the test, all the aspects of insight a counselor needs, as well as explaining important test-taking strategies. I passed! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sincerely, Roselle

I looked for many test prep aids, and overlooked yours early on because I thought it offered only 10 test prep simulations … when I discovered you ha d250 and 6 actual final simulations, I knew this was the best test prep tool available and signed up immediately, renewing my subscription as a step in my final preparation. I would recommend your resources to anyone who is seriously preparing. Thank you , the simulations made all the difference in my success at passing the actual exam. Thank you, I am very grateful. Pat

My name is Milton. During the last couple of years I have used your online study site to successfully pass the NCMHCE (LMHC), the CRC examination and several months ago purchased both sets of the audio CDs to prepare for the AMFTRB Marriage and Family Therapist Examination (LMFT). For the NCMHCE and CRC examinations your online study site was absolutely invaluable. As a Qualified LMHC Supervisor here in Florida, I recommend your website to all of the LMHC Interns I supervisor. I am now planning on taking the LMFT examination in June 2013 and hope my track record of success with these examinations continues.

I am so grateful to you and your website for all of the very helpful and pertinent information, I utilized the 30 days online subscription, the CD's which allowed me the opportunity to listen to the information whenever I was in the car and oh yea the Tidbits information was extremely helpful. So look out world here I come...smile. I will continue to share with my colleagues and others just how helpful your website is and suggest it for anyone that is looking for a comprehensive NCMHCE review, because I know first hand that your review helped me pass the exam.

Hi Dr. Hutchinson, Im sorry I am just getting back to you.. I had taken a few days off work to study and as you know.. just because we focus on something else doesn’t mean that our job stops. So I have been returning calls and trying to get people scheduled in. I do think that your simulations were more difficult then the actual exam that I took.... AND I AM SO GLAD that they were more difficult because I felt like I breezed through the simulations on the exam. I was done in 1.5 hour and it was a 4 hr test. (which is weird b/c I am an awful test taker)

Trifecta completed! Thank you Dr. Hutchinson, I have used your content-rich and well designed website to pass yet another licensure exam. I first used your site to pass the NCE in 2005. Just this past November I again studied for the MFT exam using your site and passed that exam on the first attempt. Today, after doing every clinical simulation on your website, I took and passed the NCMHCE! Trifecta and thank you very much. I will be telling folks who are preparing for these exams about your site. Thank you very much. Very respectfully, Eric

Dear Linton, The preparation I received from Licensure Exams to pass my LMHCE was excellent. Your program was more than ample to passing with ease. Your simulations were key for me; and are actually more difficult than the test. I felt it akin to conditioning with heavy weights and then for the performance the weights were surprisingly light! You may want to share that about your simulations so that folks will increase their confidence regarding them. Thank you for all that you do to see us off to success. With thanks, Mona

I just wanted to thank you again for developing such a wonderful program. I called on Wednesday to tell you that I PASSED!! I would not have passed without using the program. I did the 1 week course for about 5-6 hours a day. The cost was significantly less than any other study program out there and the option to do a week intensive was very appealing to me. It worked! Thank you!

Good morning Dr. Hutchinson, As promised, I want to reflect on NCMHCE exam as now I know what it is like and an impression I am having now is quite different from what my expectations were before taking an exam. I have to admit that Passing this exam feels as an incredible accomplishment and like no other experience. Exam is challenging, long and tests a very broad spectrum of competencies and accurately depicts the nature of our profession. I have to admit that! What helped me pass (as I am analyzing it after taking exam): -Studying the basics-I studies all those bits of information in ALL areas of study. While studying I kept creating my own bag of flashcards and which was the most helpful method of memorization/compartmentalization of most important bits of information. Memorize important pieces and connect them using logic. -Your simulations helped the most. I did all of them several times over months. Basically did the simulations until knew WHY to pick one choice over the other and until simulations start making “complete” sense. Mindful practicing of simulations is one of the most important parts of preparation and helped me the most. -Outside of studying, one needs to think of the logic of WHY we do things in a profession the way we do them. Everything should be logically connected to the client’s situation, diagnosis, tx plan and aftercare. Although this sounds as common sense, I spent time just thinking of the PROCESS of client care. This also includes knowing exactly what happens in the beginning, middle and at the end of client care process. - Diagnosis is huge! Knowing DSM inside and out is a must, including all NOS and Unspecified categories. Your small exams for diagnostic impressions helped a lot-to repeat and keep in memory symptoms, duration, onset etc. On exam-Write ALL information down as you read scenarios. This might feel overwhelming as you continue to accumulate more and more pieces of information, but this will pay off when you have it under your fingertips when it is needed!!! (A Moment of truth!) This information will be needed later. This advice I took from you and this helped me PASS. Do not rely on your memory-memory is not omnipotent and this will not work for this long 4 hour exam! -As you read scenarios, try to conceptualize information from get going. Imagine, what the client’s situation like, what would you do without even reading the answers in terms of possible dx, tx options etc. As you read the scenario 1st time ,try to imagine that you already know what to do in a situation (and you do know because of already having experience) -When you don’t understand the question - read it, reread it until you understand. -Use relaxation during exam-stress accumulate quickly. When feel stressed or anxious - stop all for a moment and try your best to relax. Remember that anxiety hinders an ability to concentrate, which is necessary to maintain to pass. -PERSEVERE through this exam. Most likely, at certain points, you will start feeling tired, exhausted, discouraged, feel as if you have been" put through the grinder". No matter how you feel, continue putting your best, do not give up as all it matters is to PASS! Do not doubt during exam-continue! I hope this helps everybody to pass the 1st time. Maya

Thanks SOO much, Linton! Just wanted to let you know I passed my NCMHCE exam today! Your web site was indispensable in terms of providing me with lots of opportunity for practice and relevant information. I truly found your website to be fabulous and not only did I prepare for the exam successfully, but I also learned so very much in the process that will help me in my work! As far as tips are concerned, this may be obvious but working slowly and carefully is essential. The direct linking logic is what I focused on; remembering that what they're really looking for is the test taker's ability to connect symptoms with appropriate diagnoses, goals, treatments and techniques. People have to remember that this is not about what they may do in their own work, but more about what the literature recommends. It's important to be aware of ethical issues, something I was not sufficiently aware of the first time I took the exam. Thanks again and I will recommend that colleagues use your website.

I PASSED! Thank you. So failing by 2 points on one section was pretty bad. Today I passed one of the sections by 20 points and the other by 25 points. Thanks for all the advice. I ended up signing up for your site for 3 months, and then another 3 months and then again for just this last week. Today's inspiration said something about thinking about of how much time I'll have in my life once I pass. My family and I thank you! Amy

Hello, As I mentioned a little while ago, I just passed my LMHC test. First, Kudos to Counselingexam.com! It really gave me the edge I needed. Even though there were a ton of study aids on the site, all I used were the practice scenarios. What I loved about them was that they explained why I got an answer right or wrong. This helped me learn what the test was looking for; as well as where the test was trying to trick me. Another thing I loved about the scenarios was that, when I took the the actual test, I saw that the real questions were actually somewhat easier than the ones on the site! Advice about the test I can give people? Bring a sweater; even if it's 100 degress out. They will undoubtedly be cranking the AC. Also, do your best not to freak-out when someone finishes first - or if you're the last one in the room. Remember that you've paid good money to be there...and will have to pay again each and every time you take it. Also, take the practice tests on Counselingexam.com (not just the scenarios), but the ones that mimic the actual test. I failed the test my first time (before going to the site and getting a 3mos subscription) so I knew what to expect. But, the first time I saw it, the test was much different in appearence than anything I'd seen online for practicing. Lastly, remember that once you click on an answer, that's your choice. You CAN NOT go back and change it. So make sure you choose wisely. Good Luck! Thanks, -Al

Hi Dr. Hutchinson - Thanks to YOU, I passed the NCMHCE on October 9th. It wasn't the first time I took it but it was the first time I used YOUR program to study for it! I don't know why I didn't think of writing to you sooner because you helped me pass the NCE on the first try a little over a year ago. I didn't know you also had a program for the NCMHCE until I came across it accidentally online. After working with you, I finally understood what they were looking for... Thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Helen

Dr. Hutchinson: God as my witness; had I not taken your study guide I would have never been prepared for the exam. I did all the simulations. I started with doing ten at a time, because that is what I was going to be doing at the time of the exam. In the beginning I guessed, and i took notes from each, The reason you gave, as to why I would not ask certain question, and why I would ask this kind. Each type of information you provided was important. If it was a diagnosis of ADHD, I wrote down all the different types of interventions I would use, and the different assessment tools I would use, as it was on your program. I had the mindset that my office was in the cyberworld, and those were people each day sitting in the waiting room to see me. Each night before I went to bed, I read my notes, even when I didnt want to. After awhile, it just clicked. It all came together in my head. I remembered your words, "How can I help this person cope with what is happening and return back to a normal level of functioning. Albert is upset and depressed. What would help Albert to be happy.." short term goals..etc I read the DSM IV made easy front to back and took notes from it . Your program helped me understand what to do with this person from beginning to end. The DSM IV help me understand for what reason they needed my help. I honestly only studied two months but consistent. I also knew when to stop. When learning was not happening for me, maybe because of what was happening around me, or I was tired. I would stop. I knew my limits.When I took the exam, I took my time. I wrote down everything. I wasn't nervous, even though a job offer relied on passing the test that day. The test was exactly like your simulations so it was like I was sitting in my office once again. The Lady told me I used more paper than anyone she had ever seen, but I finished the test in about 2 1/2 hours, because I knew it. On the Decision making, out of the Max score of 14 I scored 12. I am telling you none of my professors at school or classes prepared me in the way your program did. I just thank God you had this tool available. I may sound like I'm singing you praises, but I didn't use all the tools you had available. I did read everything you had included on the homepage, but my main focus was doing the simulations and taking notes from them. I have told everyone about it. I wish I could afford to keep it as a tool, because I would like to be able to work thru the simulations again.

Dr. Hutchinson, I put off taking my exam for 15 years! I FINALLY got around to taking the exam after studying 3 months (using the 3 month subscription). I mostly did the vignettes over and over and over. Also, the final full test practice exams were VERY helpful (the 4 tests you have there under Final Simulations). Your site allowed me to learn the structure of the exam, how to logically tackle the vignettes, and I was able to pass on the first try! Like you stated in all those inspirations "Getting it right the first time!!" Thanks, Mark

I passed the exam! Without question, your site was very instrumental in my ability to succeed. The biggest factor was the large number of simulations that you offer.

Taking the actual test felt very familiar after so many practice simulations. I would recommend this site to anyone preparing for the exam. Thanks! Mary

Hello, For exam-takers: My name is Anna, and I just passed t he NCMHCE exam. From my experience, simulations are key- they are detailed and really do a great job of preparing one for the exam's framework. Half of the difficulty for me was figuring out what to study and how much of it to study. Here in IL, I took a prep class via IMHCA and it was very very helpful in terms of strategic prep. Counselingexam.com supported most of that course's ideas and the two paired together really provided strong study resources.

I just wanted to say that I passed. I did not the first time around and I had spent time and money on a course that prepared me so little. Unlike yours.. you gave me so much information and practice. I will forever be grateful for your help. I am beyond relieved and thrilled to have passed the NCMHCE. THANKS!!!!

I just got home from taking the NCMHCE and wanted to let you know that I passed, with many points to spare! I attribute this passing score to your amazing website and all the resources available on it. I particularly found the simulations to be the most helpful; I ran through several simulations each day for two weeks straight. When I took the exam, which completed in a little under two hours. At any rate, FYI for future test takers of the NCMHCE I found my biggest mistake was not reading slowly enough - anxiety was definitely part of this problem. I missed two questions because on one I simply did not see the word "not" in it and another question that said "Choose one" and I began selecting a ton...after I kept getting "not indicated" I remembered your advice and literally bonked my head and mentally said, "DOH!" like Homer Simpson and reread the question. I think one of the other important things to remember when taking this test is that you will likely lose points, and it's important to breath when that happens because it can quickly derail you. Also, like you say on your website and emails, the test isn't tricking you. What it says in the vignette's is really what they mean. Try your hardest NOT to read into it, that is where you can get into big trouble. Thank you, Dr. Hutchinson, I know I could NOT have passed without your awesome website; not only is it amazingly user friendly, but your feedback was awesome, and your personal emails giving insight and hope truly made me feel like you cared and that you didn't want just my money, you wanted me to know that I can and will pass...and I DID! Best of luck to those future NCMHCE takers! You can do it :)! Warmly, Anna

I just wanted to email you to say that the website is FABULOUS. I took the NCMHCE exam this morning and passed .. what a RELIEF! The simulations, endless resources, videos detailing theories .. I could go on .. were so immensely helpful. I highly doubt I would have passed without this amazing site. So thank you for doing what you do and helping us mere mortals pass this terrifying exam!

Dear Linton, I took my NCMHCE test yesterday. It was a very emotional day as soon as woke up in the morning; I sat to write down the pros and cons of failing this test. I had a full sheet of goals and new projects I could do after passing my LCPC. My most important goal was to increase myself confidence, then start some new projects. After I finished the test my whole body was shaking because those results were going to change my career and my life. When the proctor said madam," you passed". I believe it was one of the happiest days in my life since passing my NCMHCE has been one of the most important dreams for the last 6 years so and these goal has been accomplished in my career. Dr. Hutchinson I could not have done it without you since you provided me the encouragement and support after allowing me to use your study package several times without any charges. Your kindness and support helped me to pass this test. I'll pass the word to my colleagues who would will be taking the test in the near future.

I just want to say Thank you for the support! I took the test this morning in Florida and passed with flying colors! I think that doing the simulations over and over was key.. Without a doubt I will recommend counselingexam.com!

Hi Linton: The strategy that I found most helpful was to get in my brain, it doesnt matter what I do where I work; Assessments and info gathering at work are TOTALLY different from what they are looking for in the test. Working in Community mental health, we gather ALOT of information for assessments. When doing the simulations, I kept running up against "not indicated" UNTIL I really listened and GOT your advice on linking symptoms and stressors ONLY back to anything that is done. practice practice practice the simulations/case studies.. really got me used to the what the test would look for. One more thing: the night before - just read (briefly) over things that I was still fuzzy on, diagnostically and the morning of, i relaxed and did not look at one thing exam related. my mantra: Breathing in calmness, Breathing out correct answers.

Linton, Just wanted you to know that I pass the NCMHCE exam on June 8. Using your program prepared me so completely that I felt as if I was doing 10 of your practices simulation. I felt good about the results and passed with very good scores. My only regret is that I did not use your program to study for the NCE. That test was extremely difficulty and I didn't feel half as prepared. Your website is the place I will refer all of my cohert too. Thank you I could not have been this successful without your program. Sincerely, Desmond

5.15.12 - I took the NCMHCE exam this morning and passed the 1st time!! The exam was difficult. I did simulations for 3 months and studied the DSM. I learned a lot taking the practice simulations, thanks to the pop-ups. Best exam-day advice...take a couple breaks - my energy dipped during the 2nd half of the exam but the water/snack break replenished me. Relax on test day -- it's in there!

THANK YOU!!!

Dear Linton Thank you for your comprehensive counseling exam website. I used it for both the NCE and the NCMHCE examination preparation. I can happily report that I was successul for both the LPC and LCPC licenses here in Illinois. The strategy of persistence in tandem with your accurate simulations is the key to success. The payoff was a rather pleasant confidence during the examination process.
Edward

I can honest say that if I had not subscribed to this service I would be taking the exam again! The simulations forced me to know the information, use my critical thinking, and generate a strategy to handle certain types of questions. Thank you for help me helping me successful launch my purpose!

I just wanted to thank you helping me pass both my NCE and a few years later my NCMHCE! I felt your site prepared me incredibly well for both exams.

And even though in both cases I had very little time to prepare (about a month), your site still gave me everything I needed to pass.

Hi Dr. Hutchinson, I passed the NCMHCE this morning, praise the Lord! I appreciate the help your website, ebook, audio discs, and practice tests provided. I think your practice tests were more difficult to pass (at least I scored higher on NBCC's test). Best wishes, Matt

I wanted to thank you for the availability of this web-site, the simulations and overall content of the material was very helpful! I took the exam today for the first time and PASSED!! I really believe it was the explanation 'pop ups' which came with each chosen answer during the simulations that helped me pass. Those made me slow down and think critically about the most appropriate answer.

The NCMHCE content on Dr. Hutchison's website was very informative. I passed my exam with flying colors yesterday for the Virginia LPC; obtaining 141 on Information Gathering (needed 110 to pass) and 139 on Decision Making (needed 129 to pass). I finished in 70 minutes despite having a four hour time limit. His strategies of reading the question and using a scratch piece of paper to write down important information on the case was very helpful. I recommend practice taking the simulations. I took 15-20 simulations per day, morning and evening. I laughed as I took the exam because it felt just like the practice exam and I was able to confidently answer questions and felt I had passed. Thanks so much for assistance with this time consuming process that I can now put behind me and put my LPC to good use. Thank you, Nick

Good Day, I took my exam. Thanks to your website and simulations, I was actually EXCITED to take the exam--not anxious, but EXCITED. Not only did I pass, but I left the exam no later than 10:45am. It was a combination of prayer, studying and practice with the simulations. I gained more confidence as I completed the simulations daily, often doing about 20 scenarios a day. Your inspiratons were helpful, compelling me to study some more when I was tired of being tired of studying, lol! I hated that I had to pay for the service as I had purchased some wasteful study materials prior to purchasing it (especially in this rough economy, surely you can understand). With that said, your website/program was one of my better investments of the year. Thanks, Tracy

Dear Linton, Like everyone else who has passed this test, I'd like to THANK YOU for formulating such a user-friendly, and well developed set of simulations. These simulations *literally* paved the way for me to pass, first shot. LOVED them! A friend who passed the first time gave me this bit of advice: "learn the various clinical tests used for diagnosing, and do simulations continuously....if you do that, you will pass." SHE WAS CORRECT! This was exactly what I did, and I passed, and did well. In closing, I really want you to know that other than producing a wonderfully built study device, your concern for your students is unparalleled. This product, and it's developer are A+++. Blessings and Thanks for a wonderful experience, Kim :)

Dr. Hutchinson, I wanted to thank you and the counseling exam staff for helping me pass my exam for the NCMHCE for my LMHC in Indiana. I currently work as a Readjustment Counseling Therapist providing counseling for combat veterans for the VA. Passing this test means the stress of passing the test is lifted and I can put my full focus back on expanding my skills for meeting the needs of our Veterans. I am so happy to be able to have met my goal of becoming licensed and your study program was key in helping me meet that goal. Keep doing what you do.

I’m already singing your praises and recommending the site to other interns who will be taking the exam in the next few months. Thanks again, Jackie

I passed my NCMHC exam yesterday and I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Hutchinson's website. There is no way I could have passed this exam without the help of this website.How do I know? Because that is exactly what happened to me the first two times I took the test; I failed. I then made the wise investment for these services and I passed. I also want to say that what helped me the most was doing the computer generated simulations. I did these things everyday...one or two here, one or two there, and just really committed myself to grasping the "concepts" of what the test was looking for. When I took my exam this last time, I had confidence and a positive mindset because I really knew what to anticipate and how to answer. One other piece of advice, even though it may be hard, don't guess. If you're not sure, just go to the next question. Trust me on this. Good luck to everyone. I did it, and so can you!!!

I just wanted to say thank you so much, the information and practice on this site is invaluable. I failed the NCMHCE the first time, was really not prepared for the structure of the test. Your site reminded me to slow down, write down additional info, and make choices before looking at the answer selections. I passed with flying colors, well above minimum scores in both areas. I only saw 4 “not indicated” throughout the entire exam and was confident that I had passed. This was the best money for study materials that I have ever spent! Joan

Dear Dr. Linton Hutchinson: I am so grateful to you for making this web site, I don't know how I would have passed the exam without your preparation site! I passed LMHC test today, with tears in my eyes and mild anxiety. The test was very difficult, but I knew all the correct diagnoses, and was able to avoid wrong answers just by skipping them, and being mindful of how I answered questions. Your web site prepared me well. I studied 270 cases, 7 cases on a daily basis, full time for 3 months!

Your site was great and I don't believe I would have passed without it! I had decided that if I wasn't successful in passing my test the first time, I would be O.K. in knowing that I was a better Counselor for having studied with you! And I would just continue my studies until I passed. HOWEVER, I PASSED! YEAH11111 Thanks again. I will certainly recommend this site to all who need to test. Linda

Hi Linton. Just wanted to let you know that I took my 2011 NCMHCE exam in Ohio on Monday and passed! Wanted to say thank you for the information on the website. It was very helpful in my studying and helped to prepare me well for the exam. So thanks for the good preparation material

Linton, I recently passed the NCMHCE exam with far more ease than I had anticipated, and in all fairness I must attribute my success to reviewing the clinical scenarios that are an integral part of your company’s study program. In fact, until very recently I been utilizing material from another study course, but due to a lack of viable comprehension, I decided to transition to your study-site: It was the best move I could have made! Please feel free to post my anecdote on your site, and I will certainly remind my colleagues of your program as they begin preparing for licensure. Tom

Hi, Linton - just letting you know that I passed the NCMHCE today with flying colors. What a relief!!! I think your site was just about equal to the real exam, in terms of ease-difficulty. It took my only an hour and a half, but I wasn't trying to be quick or anything. Also, I think your sims were helpful for knowing the format of the exam. Thanks, Laurie

Not a question just a comment. I just took the LMHCE test in the state of Florida. I used your site for 30 days then 7 days just before the test. I was informed by many of my collegues that this was the best site ever. I have passed the test. I am 60 years old and only had one chance to take it to save face. Your practice exam was exactly what was needed. Thank you very much

Good news, I passed the NCMHCE today thanks to your prep program, tips and words of encouragement.

Thank you so much. Cara

Linton, Thanks so much for your kind and inspiring words. I've given it some thought and to tell you the truth, I don't have any suggestions. It seems to me that your preparation course covers everything and challenges the student to the point of craziness BUT that's why I passed. The exam was pretty easy really. I was surprised. I prepared for the NCE with your on-line package and the NCMHCE again. I passed both the first time. Before I tried the on-line package for the NCMHCE I tried two other preparatory courses and did not find them half as helpful as yours. I had forgotten about counselingexam.com after I took the NCE. A friend of mine who used counselingexam.com told me about it and I purchased three months immediately. It's what made the difference and I also learned a lot in the process! That's the point right?? So, Linton, all I can say is, counselingexam.com is the BEST way to get prepared and I will refer anyone that needs to prepare for the exam to you. Should I think of something in the future that could benefit you I will certainly send you a message. Thanks again for the great preparation. It make all the difference in the world. I want to share something spiritual with you. You know the inspiration messages you send everyday. The one about the meadowlark, thunder & lightening, star shining, a new life and then lastly the butterfly. Butterflies are very special to me. After I read the message, (it was the day before my exam) I said to myself, "I wish I could see a butterfly." Later in the day, I realized that it would not be possible to see a butterfly because they have all migrated for the winter. Then later in the day, I was downstairs, putting away the box of Gain detergent when I noticed a butterfly on the back of the box. It was at that moment I knew I would pass the exam and did not study anymore the rest of the day. When I went to take the exam, I wore a butterfly pin on the pocket of my jeans and every now and then would look down at it and say "please help me to pass." God made it happen. I really believe that. Take care Linton. Counselingexam.com was a very good experience. Danah

Thank you for the website. I took the test NHMC Friday and passed!!! Your site was very helpful. I have some suggestions. First, the practice tests were great, I took them over and over. You may want to tell people to not push the finish button to begin with, just to get a feel of the test, answer as much as you think are possible. Its defeating to contiually red fail and not get the green pass. I finally figured out I was too conservative with my answering and needed to check more. So, I stopped pushing the finish button and allowed myself to answer the maybes. I soon figured out what they test was looking for. I also created a diagram web for each case study, attempting to make the diagnosis first then adding more to the diagram web as I went along. I thought this would slow me down, but I found it kept me focused and clarified the diagnsois by allowing me to add up the symptoms. The actual test was tricky and filled with distractors, unrelated to the actual diagnosis. You may want to describe some distractors in the website. Its been 25 years since I took a counseling course, but I scored almost perfect on this test and I was the first one out the door! Many thanks!

Dr. Hutchinson, I took the NCMHCE yesterday October 15th in Sarasota. I passed with points to spare. Your website was invaluable in helping prepare me for this examination. I did your simulations repeatedly and studied the DSM IV TR for the past two months. The simulations are the key! Thanks again for all of your support. I will recommend your website to all of my colleagues. Best wishes.............and yahoo! Grant

Last Thursday, I passed the NCMHCE in the state of Indiana, on the first try! The website simulations and being strongly familiar with the DSM-IV did it! Frequently I would read the testimonials to inspire me, just waiting for my turn to say the same thing -- I PASSED!!!! Thanks again, Darlene

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.

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.

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 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

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

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

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.

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 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

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."

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!

I just got my results and I passed the NCMHCE the first time with flying colors. You're online study guide were truly the best. Much better than the more expensive programs out there as I started with those, then someone suggested your study material and decided it was worth the gamble and tried it! I'm so glad I did. I would not have passed it without your materials. Thanks again Fran

Just wanted to let you know that I took the LCPC exam for the first time on Saturday, May 9th, and I passed with flying colors. I could never have done it without this program and all those example simulations. It was well worth the money- in fact, you should increase your rates. This works! Thank you!

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. MY FOCUS NOW WILL BE TO BE BLESSED WITH AN EXCELLENT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOURS.... PAM

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.

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.

Dr. Hutchinson, I just wanted to say thank you for creating such an inflormative site. Although I didn't have access to it until two days prior to my scheduled exam date, I tried to cram as much information as possible. I PASSED MY EXAM!!!!!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

Thanks for all of the information. It really helped. I live in South Korea and classes are not avaiable. The most helpful for me were the simulations. Thanks again. I passed the test the first time because I could study on line. Joan

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

I am proud to report that you have another satisfied LPCC customer! I just got the results from my NCMHCE exam and I nailed it! Passing score on IG was 95... I scored a 119. Passing score on the DM was 117... I scored 132.

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.

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.

Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know I took both the NCE and NCMHC exams on the same day and passed with flying colors. I used your website as part of my preparation for the NCMHCE exam. By doing the simulations you provide, I was able to bulid the skills necessary to pass the test. I highly recommend your website. Thanks!

Thanks to you and your web site, as well as the two test prep classes I took, I passed both exams with flying colors. I feel ready and prepared to join a Professional Counseling Clinic near my home that has offered me a job. This extra money- on top of my school counselor job- will help me put my children through college. Thank you for your web site which encouraged and challenged me daily.

Just wanted to let you know I passed the exam! I did your site daily for 2 months. I got the book by Siegle I believe the last name was. I did the NBCC sample inventory and I had my DSM-IV-TR in hand through out all my studies. AND, by the grace of God I passed. And, I passed comfortable, not just barely. 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. Ear plugs, slow breathing, taking healthy breaks, reading in a whisper each question and answer ... all great help! Thanks again for what you do and how you helped me! Kori

Dear Dr. Linton, I actually don't have a question for you, but I wanted to thank you for all your help. 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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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
