The Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE) and National Counselor Examination (NCE) are high stakes exams, for which failure delays attainment of goals. At universities where the CPCE is the final gate to graduation, some students are delayed or denied graduation due to failure on this examination, and in most states, failure on the NCE results in delay or denial of a license. This presentation explores ways to help students prepare for success on these examinations.
(The primary presenter is Rosario Ortiz, a doctoral student at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, TX, and the second presenter is Melanie C. Harper, the program director for the counseling programs at St. Mary's University.)
