Success Stories

I just received my comprehensive exam results this morning, and couldn’t wait to tell you that I received a passing score!!! Your incredible Study Guide is the benchmark for preparation for these exams, invaluable, and so well done. I used it exclusively for my own preparation, then used a few more questions from another book to further utilize my Study Guide knowledge, during the last week of preparation.

Examples and language especially clear in explanation of research tools very helpful.

I took the NCE on 7/19/08 and am very happy to say that I passed with flying colors. My score was 136 and I credit your study guide with helping me immensely. Thanks for providing such excellent study material.

The only material I used for my NCE study was your Study Guide and I greatly benefited from your Study/Test Taking Hints/Tips section. Other significantly helpful tips were: Pick a letter and stick with it throughout the entire test when guessing; Beware of questions using, ‘always, never, sometimes’: I am not being asked for the right answer, I am being asked for the best answer of those being offered to me. I will highly recommend your NCE Review Course and Study Guide.

Thanks, I really found your Guide easy to use, an invaluable tool. It has been six years since I finished my counselor’s study. Without this, it would have been impossible to pass the test. Thanks A LOT!

Dear Professor Helwig – Just wanted to let you know that I’ve used your STUDY GUIDE and passed the NCE last Saturday (with a score of 133/160). I bought your book and DVD set last fall to prepare for my school comps. I did well on those, too. For me, the best part of your system is being able to use the DVDs to “ease into” study. Sometimes picking up a book is a really big deal, but sitting down to watch your video presentation made it easier to begin studying. I’d also say that your presentation of material in the Appraisal and Research sections is wonderful — clear and very easy to understand. Suddenly things that never made sense to me when I took the classes in school were very very clear. I’m now convinced that my professors in school didn’t understand the material well enough themselves to be able to present it in an understandable manner. And your test taking tips are also extremely helpful. For the record, I also used Howard Rosenthal’s ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNSELING in preparing for the exam. The combination of the two systems is unbeatable. I like the repetition of information in his material. I have recommended your book and DVDs to others and will continue to do so.
