​The following free practice exam is closely modeled after the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam (NCMHCE).

Don't worry if the answers don't seem to make sense; making sense out of this confusing exam is precisely what I cover in my highly focused, preparation workshop for the NCMHCE.

​Every year, thousands of graduates take the NCMHCE as their final step towards licensure. This one examination stands between them and continued employment as a counselor. 
On average, at least 30% will fail every time * 

​Watch the following video to learn how You Can Pass the NCMHCE:

My name is Jonathan Maletz. I’m a licensed therapist and Board Certified Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience and I consider a 30% failure rate totally unacceptable! No one needs to fail the NCMHCE. Your graduate degree program covered all the necessary material.
​

So what is the problem? It isn't prep. Rather, this test is exceedingly confusing. It is unlike any exam you have ever taken. If you can get past this confusion, you can pass this test.That is why I have developed a video training where in five hours, I cover everything you need to know to pass. I begin by explaining the exam's unique mindset and teaching you how to 'think like the exam'. This is critical since the NCMHCE is an exceedingly subjective exam. Then, we go over the exam's structure with an emphasis on strategy so that you know how to handle the confusing ‘Choose All That Apply’ questions. We review the DSM as well as other key material that is on the test. And finally, we take and discuss two practice exams so that you can see for yourself how it’s done. I also email you 80 pages of core study material that you will need to know to pass the exam.

Once you have worked through all the study materials you will be ready to tackle the online simulations that are included in my program. These include 5 individual sims followed by a 10 sim mock exam. If you can pass my sims, you are ready for the NCMHCE. If you struggle with the sims, you will know what content you need to spend additional time studying. 

No Special equipment is needed. No travel expenses. You can assure your readiness with this online training from the comfort of your own home! This is a self-paced program that lets you watch the videos whenever you want and as often as you like (for six months). Also, I update the videos every other month to stay current with any exam changes.   

Other programs cost over $400. My recorded workshop is available for $250. This includes the workshop, my in-depth Study Materials and the online practice simulations. No hidden costs or fees.

I am confident that my workshop will help you to pass this exam. In fact, I'll give you this guarantee: If you take the NCMHCE and don't pass, I will fully refund everything you paid me (details on Order Page).
Together, we can assure that you pass this exam!

TESTIMONIES OF THE MONTH:

I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars I have spent on practice materials that left me more confused and were nothing like the actual exam. Your workshop and practice materials are worth their weight in gold as they are the only thing I have found helpful and relevant. I also appreciate the personal attention you have given me in making sure that I received the materials and understood everything.

The first time I took the NCMHCE I failed, I just didn't understand the format. Jonathan's workshop gave me the understanding and the strategies I needed to pass. The information was presented in a fun and interactive way.
     Ben Young, MS, LPC 
​​

I watched your videos today for the first time and you have de-mystified the exam for me! I feel much better already. This is perfect. It gives me confidence. I like to watch info videos and classes several times, that's why I wanted a recorded workshop. I really like your technique. This is an unbelievable amount of work that you have done. I really appreciate it.  
     Mary George, MA, RMHCI 

I didn't come close to passing the NCMHCE the first time because of the breadth of content and complex design of the exam.  Jonathan's workshop and study materials clarified the content and made the exam format understandable.  With Jonathan's help I passed the NCMHCE by a solid margin on my second try.  I couldn't recommend his workshop more. 
    Eric Skleder, MEd, LPC  
​
I wanted to say thank you for your help. I truly believe your tips and study packet were tremendously helpful for the exam. The only regret I had was that I didn't learn about your workshop sooner. I will be sure to recommend you to any of my colleagues.
       Emily Kiser, MS, soon to be LCMHC ​
