Authentic Questions. Badges, Streaks, and Levels Built In. Practice on NCE-style questions written to match the current 2026 exam. Same formats, same tone, same trap answers. So test day feels familiar. Explanations that turn confusion into confidence. Every other Prep App out there stops at a question bank. We don’t. Streaks, badges, achievements, and level-ups build momentum, reward progress, and keep you coming back! So you actually finish your study plan instead of ghosting it. EZ Prep’s NCE Study App is the fastest, smartest, and least emotionally exhausting way to study for the National Counselor Exam. It’s packed with actual exam-level questions, clear explanations that won’t give you flashbacks to Psych 101, and study tools that work whether you're on the couch, at work, or pretending to meditate in the bath. Yes, it’s based on Rosenthal’s Purple Book Yes, it follows the 2026 NBCC guidelines Yes, we included CPCE content too because you’re clearly a glutton for punishment Created by real certified counselors who actually passed the test (and didn’t just vibe their way through it), the app covers all 8 CACREP core areas and 6 NBCC domains. You’ll get real questions, not random trivia, and a timed exam simulator to help you panic in a controlled environment. Here’s what’s inside, besides creeping self-doubt: • Human growth and development • Social and cultural diversity • Counseling and helpful relationships • Group counseling and group work • Career counseling • Professional counseling orientation and ethical practice • Assessment and testing • Research and program evaluation • Professional practice and ethics • Intake, assessment, and diagnosis • Areas of clinical focus • Treatment planning • Counseling skills and interventions • Core counseling attributes Features you’ll actually use: • Personalized onboarding so the app meets you where you are, emotionally and academically • Streaks and achievements to validate your existence one quiz at a time • Instant feedback with clear explanations so you learn without needing a therapist yourself • Timed exam simulator to practice under pressure, minus the fluorescent lighting • Progress tracking so you can stop guessing whether you're ready and actually know Try it risk free. We give you a free version to try before committing, because we know you’re not into toxic relationships. Pass Guarantee Included. We’re so confident in our material that if you don’t pass your exam, we’ll give you 100 percent of your money back. Plus, you get a free subscription until you do. Check our terms for the fine print, but yes, we mean it. Download the app that future counselors actually trust and stop relying on outdated PDFs or advice from a Reddit thread that peaked in 2016. EZ Prep is not affiliated with the NBCC or CACREP. But we fully support their mission to create well-prepared, ethical counselors who definitely pass the NCE on the first try. Or at least pretend they did. Terms of Use: eztestprep.com/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: eztestprep.com/privacy-policy Contact us at: support@eztestprep.com

Helped Me Pass
09/19/2024

This app (and equally so the accompanying podcast, Passing the Counseling NCE Exam) helped me refresh, learn, and practice to pass the NCE. The NCE has 400 questions in two 200 question blocks. If you string a bunch of these practice exams togethers, it can help practice sitting and doing question after question after question when you’re sitting for the official one. I really like how this app gamified the studying process. The little badges to earn were fun. I also appreciated the “learn” mode with concise explanations of the correct answer. It gave me a place to explore/review when I didn’t understand other options or terms. I don’t think it’s enough on its own, but this and the podcast is how I did almost all of my studying.

Best Study Aid

I graduated two years ago and failed my first and second attempt by one point each time. I used this app for the first time in July, along with another study aid. This app had more and different questions on it, which challenged me. I passed my exam on July 26th by seven points. I highly recommend this app. The only thing I would recommend is allowing the usage of the app on multiple devices. Luckily I downloaded it to my tablet, which is what is mainly use when I study. It would have been nice to use it on my cell phone as well.

Developer Response
Congratulations on passing! That's a huge accomplishment and we're really happy we were able to be a small part of it! Actually, the app is available on all of your different devices, as long as it's the same Apple account! We will make sure we make that better known and easier to do, so thank you for letting us know! And once again, thank you for recommending the app and congratulations!

Okay but missing multiple things

It’s great to just sit and take test for studying. In that aspect, it’s perfect. However, the functionality of the app is pretty poor. First off, there is no multidevice congruency. My subscription covers both iPad and cellphone apps but when I get on my iPad to study, it doesn’t have the same saved notes and previously missed questions that I would like to see from my cellphone. Secondly, there is no notification option. I would like to set a schedule of notifications that remind me throughout the day to pause and take a short quiz. You can just set alarms on your phone but it would be nice to have the app itself alert you and be ready when you click the notification. Third, other than clicking a quiz and rolling with it, there’s no other options for how to study or timed sessions. Like others, I study best when I use the pomodoro technique. If this app is being used for studying purposes, why not integrate one of the most popular ways of doing it? Let us set timers and notifications. Then this app would easily be five stars. As is, it’s just lacks some of the major functions I would expect from this type of app.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know what you think of the app and to offer suggestions! It's incredibly important for us to continue improving our study app and hearing what would be most useful is invaluable. If you're interested, we would love to offer you a gift card to hear any further ideas or suggestions you would like to see! Please reach out to us at support@eztestprep.comTo answer a few of your concerns, we are currently developing a customizable study notification feature that will allow you to change the frequency of your notifications. Currently we send a study reminder if you miss a streak day, but understand you would want a more granular option. For device congruency, this was a decision we intentionally made unfortunately. For this to work, you would need to create a full profile (including email, passwords, username, etc.). We believe the ease of not having to create that outweighs shared analytics. Finally, we would love to hear more about your idea of studying with timers. We currently use a question based goal method, but understand wanting a timed based method as well. Once again, we'd love to hear from you to explore this idea further. And thank you for taking the time to help us improve.

Conflicting answers
11/15/2024

Ollie schmollie!!
I went through the purple encyclopedia and this app. Some questions mirrored the encyclopedia but had conflicting answers. It was confusing to say the least, considering how much this app cost to use. As I keep progressing, questions are confusing and answers mirror each other with a slight word switch, but still means the same thing. Who is writing these questions? I am disappointed in this app and hope to get a refund.Another update: taking 40 question quiz and got an answer wrong, supposedly. The question came up in the missed question section so I chose the answer that the app said was correct from the original quiz, then it said that answer was wrong, and that my original answer from the original quiz was correct. Seriously!!!! Offering me a gift card doesn’t fix the conflicting answers you provide which I feel only sets me up to fail.
