Free Downloads Vital Information And Review Questions For The NCE, CPCE And State Counseling Exams: Special 15th Anniversary Edition
This new edition of Vital Information and Review Questions for the NCE, CPCE and State Counseling Exams sticks to the successful structure of the previous versions, each of which has demonstrated to be a valuable resource for anyone preparing for these difficult exams. Two new Discs have been added to this new edition, bringing the total to 20 audio CDs and over 20 hours of programming. The material covered on the CDs is arranged into nine major areas, containing explanations of terms, concepts, and inter-relationships between subjects. Key definitions, theories and techniques are discussed, and appraisal, research, and evaluation methods are presented in an easily-understood format. The set also includes 325 tutorial questions, supplemented with additional information on all nine major areas of the National Counselor Examination. Two new CDs present "Cutting Edge Ethics," an illumination of the huge changes from the past that were set forth by the ACA's 2005 Code of Ethics, and "Ask Dr. Rosenthal, " in which Dr. Rosenthal shares correspondence he has received from listeners who have contacted him with specific questions or asked for additional explanations of material.

I wanted to make sure I passed the NCE the FIRST TIME because I was spending so much money with all of the applications and time! Everyone said that I could just pass with Dr. Rosenthal's book, but I'm an auditory learner, and I found these CD's to be of great help because I could download them onto my iPod and listen to them anywhere- my car, the gym- ANYWHERE! The sections of the exam are set up so you can review like you're taking a review class, but it's at your own pace. Then, you get six whole CD's of questions! And they're not just Multiple Choice format- you have to actually KNOW the material. By the time you get to the quizzes, you KNOW the material. The Super Review Bootcamp is a great summarization of everything you've learned. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY. I passed with flying colors.
Prior review is misleading. A few defective sets were shipped and ALL customers were immediately issued good sets. The CDs will play on car CD players, home units, boomboxes, portables and computers. Anything a music CD will play on. CDs have tons of tracks for easy naviagation. Anniversary set has two more CDs than the old set. Case is smaller and easier to carry in the car etc. Combine with the Anniversary Edition of the Encyclopedia for a combo that beats even the $300 competitors hands down.
Definitely some of the best money I have ever spent. I had the book and was afraid that I was just memorizing the answers to the questions which wouldn't help since the test questions are not the same. I listened to the tapes with any down time I had. I started listening to the tapes in August and took the test in October. The review questions were my favorite part because he does not give you multiple choice. Therefore, if I knew the answer, I knew I had a very good understanding of the material since I did not need choices. The boot camp review was awesome for the day or two leading up to the test when I felt burned out on the material. I couldn't recommend these tapes more...I scored 2 SD above the mean, and I truly believe these tapes made all the difference! Good luck!
You can't say anything about this program except that it is by far the most comprehensive review program available for the NBCC, NCE exam that is available! 100% necessary to take the National counseling exam!
I purchased the book and the cd's. I listened to them over and over. The day of my exam I listened to the quick review in my car as a refresher and I passed my exam. At first I was worried that they would not work. So far everyone in my class that used the cd's passed. I will definitely recommend these.
This was like having a review of my entire graduate program in psychology on my long commute to work and back every day. Is it effective? Well, I just nailed the NCE a couple of days ago in 90 minutes of the 4 hours allotted for the exam. Anybody want to buy a slightly used set for half price?
Great tool for passing the CPCE. I used the audio during any driving that I did and when on the train/bus (to give you a sense of time spent listening, I average about 25-30hrs weekly as a commuter). I read Dr. Rosenthal's encyclopedia of counseling for actual study sessions. With the exception of three particular sections mentioned below, this audio review and the encyclopedia are the bulk of where my CPCE review came from. I am very happy with the results (passed the CPCE with 11 points shy of the maximum score). I studied for about a month and a half. To be honest, I wasn't too sure if the audio review would work for me, but I found it really easy to listen and retain much of the information being passed on. There were three sections which I did find to be a little weak (the multicultural section review seemed very outdated, with some of the material coming across as if from an MC lecture taking place in the 90's). I also felt somewhat similar about the group counseling section (though not as extreme). For these, I just made sure to review my own class notes/textbooks a little deeper than for the other sections. To be fair, however, my program places a large emphasis on multicultural practice, so this may also be the reason why I found that particular section as "ehh..." I was also a bit concerned about the ethics section because of the recent ACA code of ethics changes, but found it to be informative nonetheless (nothing stood out which would make me ignore that section's audio). Just consider that some stuff may no longer be accurate because of changes made in 2014. These three sections aside, I highly recommend this to anyone studying for the CPCE. Hope this review helps!
I read that some people had trouble playing these CDs and just wanted potential customers to know that they worked fine for me in my 2003 Honda Civic Coupe's factory-installed CD player. I have to drive 30 minutes or so to school and another 30 minutes back home and listened to nearly every CD at least twice (once for the Comps in Spring 2011 and then for the NCE in Oct. 2011; I passed both tests, thank goodness!). I knew the CDs would work better for me than reading his book (or any other NCE review books), since I had to drive to school and back home anyway. Making time to review written study guides would have taken time away from studying for my other classes and working on school papers and projects.The author has a somewhat annoying voice (he should hire someone with audio-book taping experience for his next update), but he does review the necessary information competently. So, when I took the test, I felt much more confident than if I had not listened to his reminders about the information from all the classes I had taken throughout my 2-1/2 year counseling program. Being more confident about my preparation meant I was less nervous taking the test and I think I passed - in part - because of this preparation.Good luck to all those who are about to take the test!
