This seventh edition has revisions throughout and extensive new material has been added in the following areas: DSM-5, the ACA Code of Ethics, neurobiology, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, distance and technology counseling and wilderness therapy. Other new areas include the Affordable Care Act, ethics code changes, the role of CACREP, and updated reference lists.The Study Guide includes two practice exams, study tips, test taking strategies, the ACA Code of Ethics, and additional exam prep resources.

23 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Good for structured note learners! By K. Frey Attention: I bought the most current copy of Helwig in fall of 2014, which was the 6th Edition. I have not seen the 7th edition.Review:In the fall of 2014, I purchased 1) Pearson's Mastering the National Counselor Examination and the Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (2011) AND 2)Helwig's Study Guide for the National Counselor Examination and CPCE (6th Ed) AND 3)Rosenthal's Encyclopedia of Counseling 3rd Ed/15th Anniv Edition by Rosenthal.At that time, I knew the following summer/early fall, I would be testing. My coursework was mostly completed in 2003 but needed 4 (16 hours) more courses according to the state for LPC licensure. Following the 2 semesters of additional coursework, I began to study intensely in early July 2015 for a August 8th test date. I first started with Rosenthal's. As a visual and kinesthetic learner, I highlighted the book and took separate notes on paper for information I did NOT know, severely forgotten, etc. After collating the information (set it up on a spreadsheet, typed etc (made the information more manageable (fewer pages and neater) which also provided another review as I typed), I compared my information to Helwig's. There were small discrepancies (ex. how many traits did Guilford really come up with? 120? or 180?) between the texts. This made me annoyed and anxious but not enough to throw either away. The majority of the information was the same. The difference was the style in how they were written. Rosenthal's is conversational and encourages mnemonic devices. He also does this spiral thing over the material where he will revisit it, allowing you to build confidence and check your progress. Helwig's book is set up in an outline form and only gives you the basic points which allows you to focus on only what you don't know. One could be an excellent "skimmer" and use Helwig's in a more practical way. In order to get the most out of Rosenthal, you have to read the entire book. After reviewing Helwig with condensed Rosenthal notes, I moved on to Pearson's. I read 1-2 chapters and decided that it was making me more anxious and overwhelmed. I did not utilize the book and would not recommend it. Although, initially I DID like the 5 questions after each small section which also allows you to review and check your progress, after a few sets of those, I realized that worrying over getting the right answers to those questions, for me at least, was futile. Also, the pool of knowledge that the actual exam covers is IMMENSE. So, there is no way to know if the questions are actually helping you. The sets of 5 questions did not build my confidence, and I think after taking the NCE, it could give one a false sense of confidence. (I am also the same person who did not get much benefit from all those practice ACT tests. I am better off, reviewing and practicing the material and making connections to the concepts, etc.)So, you ask, how did I do? Today was my test. I scored (according to the NBCC 2012 normed stats) +1 SD above the mean. In other words, I did very well. If you were my best friend, I would tell you to choose between your preference of learning/studying as I described Rosenthal and Helwig and only buy the one. I would tell you that on the day of the test, you sit down and write down the things you think you will miss or information you think might forget as you test (for instance, I immediately drew out Gauss' bell shaped curve with all the different standardized scores (T, stanines, etc)), and I would say that reviewing daily up until test day is better than cramming. Good luck!(PS: The biggest differences between the 6th and 7th edition are most likely to do with the changes in the DSM.Although I have not seen the 7th edition.)
23 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Great study guide! By 4LoveofReading I have taken the NCE exam and passed! I used the 7th edition of the Study Guide. Such a wonderful study & review tool!I received my MA in Counseling from West Texas A&M University. For our CPCE exam, our professors encouraged us to use a different study resource. I had not heard of the Study Guide until I moved to a different state. One of my co-workers heard I was studying for the NCE and suggested Dr. Helwig's materials. I ordered the Study Guide and immediately loved the outline format. I also found the test information invaluable, especially where Dr. Helwig breaks down the test into an estimated number of questions for each of the 8 categories.How nice that the latest ACA Code of Ethics is included as well as the practice exams. I used both practice exams as a way to gauge how well I knew the materials. My actual score on the NCE was almost identical to my score on the practice exam.I got in contact with my professors at West Texas A&M and suggested they begin recommending the Study Guide as a resource for students studying for both CPCE and NCE exams.Such a lovely resource! I wish I had known about it much sooner!!
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. I passed but studied HARD! By mamatoOne Better than Rosenthal. It had 2 practice exams which helped me realize where my weak areas were and study those areas higher. Passed the CPCE at Liberty University with a pretty good % correct. I added self adhesive tabs to the different sections and that helped with organization. I'm not an auditory learner so this was better for me.
