Part of the counseling exam pass
NCMHCE practice exam: 11 case studies in 225 minutes
132 questions · 11 case studies · 225 min · 100 scored · Mark for review
The NCMHCE format: 11 case studies, each with an intake summary and two counseling sessions followed by four-option questions. Review and change answers within a section; once you continue, the section closes. The result shows your score on the 100 scored questions and a score for every domain.
Before you start
- Every question has four options and one correct answer. Each explanation says why the answer is right and why the most tempting wrong answer is wrong.
- Each of the 11 cases has 12 questions, 4 after each section. 100 questions are scored in NBCC’s domain shares (15, 25, 15, 30, 15); one whole case and 20 other questions are unscored. Not simulated: the scheduled 15-minute break after the fifth case (our clock keeps running) and NBCC’s on-screen tools.
- Within a section you can skip questions, go back, change answers and mark questions for review. When you continue to the next section, the section you leave is closed, as on the NCMHCE. The clock keeps running in background tabs and reloads; when time runs out, your answers are submitted.
