Summary: A comprehensive tutorial for those taking the NCE
Review: I am taking the NCE in April and have been studying with Rosenthal's "Encyclopedia" for about three weeks. Already, my test anxiety has decreased and I feel more prepared to take the exam. The format of the book is in question/answer format, which does not give readers a very good outline to study from. It does however allow for an interactive review where you can guage your preparedness by the number of question you are getting correct. There are countless study guides and course out there that will charge $500 for a weekend. I would forget about all of those and get this review.

Summary: Rosenthal's Encyclopedia
Review: I have passed the PCLE, the Ohio counselor's exam drawn from a Texas data-base. While I thought the book was excellent, few of the exasperatingly subtle, tricky and trivial questions on the PCLE related to questions-and-answers from Rosenthal's book. Hopefully, the book is better for the National Counselor's Exam.

Review: I just passed the Ohio professional counselor's exam. I credit this in no small way to the time saving format of this book. I believe that it helped boost my score by at least 10%.

Summary: A Class Act!
Review: I was studying for the National Counselor Examination and a librarian told me that Dr. Rosenthal's Book the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNSELING and his audio cassette preparation guide continue to be the top sellers on the market. Then I spoke to somebody marketing a different brand of study guide and even she recommended his materials in addition to her own! This book contains a wealth of information about every area you will encounter on the exam. Rosenthal packs a ton of material into 900 questions and answers, so that even the questions and the wrong answers impart key information. He also reveals some terrific memory devices. He writes the book like he is talking to you which makes sense since his bio indicates he has a lot of public speaking experience. For me, this helped fight boredom. I've never felt compelled to write a review on a book prior to this, however, this unusually lively book really delivers on its promise. If you look at the price of competitive study guides I think you'll agree that this gem would be a bargain even at twice the price you will pay.

Summary: How I passed the NCE in one shot!
Review: This anthology and the accompanying audio tapes were the key to passing this dreaded licensure requirement for Mental Health Counselors. I sat between two classmates at my exam. Each had used other preperatory books and even taken classes only to fail the exam in pior attempts. One of these friends had failed several times! By using these tools consistently for the three months prior to sitting for the exam, I not only passed but I scored quite highly. Not bad considering I have been test anxious all of my student life. I cannot recommend these tools too highly.
