We studied for the NCE and passed handily using this item from Dr. Rosenthal. My boss, who had been out of school for over 20 years, studied with us. He bought well over 1000 dollars worth of study aids. Before the test we focused on this study aid as what we thought was the best item. After the test we knew it was the best, at least of all those we tried, and we worked with a number of them. Rosenthal is interesting and knowledgable.

The content is excellent. My only complaint is with the CDS there are no tracks, therefore you are unable to stop and repeat a section. Once the CD is started you are committed to listening to it entirely.

These tapes are wonderful!! I listen to them while traveling to/from work and while I am walking. Hearing the information helps me to remember and recall it much better. Rosenthal presents the information in an informal and sometimes humorous way. I would recommend these tapes to anyone who is studying for the NCE.

If you follow this program, you will pass the NCE exam. I used it for 3 weeks prior to taking the exam, and I passed with flying colors. Just listen to one audio CD each day and read the corresponding questions in the Encylopedia of Counseling. You won't need luck. Well worth the money.

I bought this set along with the Encyclopedia of Counseling to study for my departmental comps. Passed with flying colors!! Also used it to study for the NCE and passed the first time with little additional studying. Rosenthal absolutely delivers on what he promises. You won't be disappointed.

I'm on the "go" a lot for my job, traveling between cities. This CD set has been an incredible way to learn what I need to know for the NCE and work full-time. The information is well presented and easy to understand. I enjoy the conversational style of Howard Rosenthal and truly appreciate this product. I'm sure I'll be ready for the NCE !!

I purchased this set of cd's along with the book "Encyclopedia of Counseling" by the same author 1 month before taking the NCE. I intended to spend three weeks reading a chapter a day and listening to one cd a day. Instead I missed some days and pulled some 3 chapter/3 disk days. End result? After 7 years away from the field I scored in the top 2% of those using the same form of the test.

I like the conversational style, makes it easier to read or listen to. These materials are not perfect, could probably use another run through by an editor to catch some moments where he misstates things, switches the names of theorists or theories he's comparing, and it doesn't (nor could it) cover every question you'll see on the exam. At the end of the day, however, you're using it to get a passing grade on the exam, and it WILL help ensure you do so. Author gives plenty of advice for people who want to study more, I didn't have the time.

This is a fantastic resource for the NCE!! I listened to these CD's along with reading through the encyclopedia of counseling and I passed my NCE (the first time!!) that I took in OCT 06. This is the only thing I used to study for the test!! I highly recommend this!!!!

I purchased Dr. Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of Counseling to study for the National Counselor Examnination, and I decided to buy this CD set as a supplement. The CD study set has ended up being even more helpful than the encyclopedia, and it has been a lifesaver in preparing me for the NCE! Not only does it go over practice questions like the encyclopedia, but it has vital information CD's which gives a lecture (not a boring one :), over the main information in each area.
It's very helpful and I definitely suggest buying it - you won't regret it!

The CDs were helpful and prepared me for the exam by providing me with a refresher on basic theories and concepts.
