Frequently asked questions

What is the NCMHCE format?

The NCMHCE uses clinical simulations (case studies) where you gather information, make diagnoses, and select appropriate treatments. It's different from traditional multiple-choice exams.

How many simulations are on the exam?

The NCMHCE has 10 clinical simulations with multiple decision points each. You have 3 hours to complete the exam.

What's the difference between NCE and NCMHCE?

The NCE (National Counselor Exam) is a general counseling exam, while the NCMHCE is specifically for clinical mental health counselors and uses case-based simulations.

Do I need the NCMHCE for state licensure?

Requirements vary by state. Many states accept either the NCE or NCMHCE for licensure. The NCMHCE is also required for the CCMHC credential.
