The NCMHCE is unlike any other exam you have ever taken.
The exam consists of 10 clinical simulations with multiple choice questions that test your ability to assess, diagnose, and treat mental illnesses. These are not your typical multiple choice questions. Many of them have more than a dozen selections and you are asked to "choose all that apply".
