I passed my NCE!!!

I got my results yesterday from my National Counselor Exams. This exam absolutely sucked! I had already taken and passed my Praxis exams and my comprehensive exam (which was necessary for CACREP graduation requirements at my school). I was pretty convinced walking out that I had failed.

Verdict? I PASSED!!!

What that means is I'm only a few forms away from being a Nationally Certified Counselor (and can add N.C.C. to the already present M.S. and C.F.T. after my name ). Basically, it says I rock!

Congrats! Was the exam filled with silly memorizations or did it actually cover material a practicing counselor needs to demonstrate proficiency in?

It was probably half and half. There was a lot of very relevant stuff in it. There was also a decent amount of "***???" questions. Studying for it for the few months leading up to it has definitely helped me grow, however. With that being said, I am THRILLED it's over and done with!!!

Wow! Now you have as many letters after your name as I do (M.S. CCC-SLP)... Very cool!

P.S. how is the knee?

Thanks guys! Joe, the knee is way better. It's still sore doing steps, but it's substantially better than it was. I'm now limp-free. Still unsure about it's strength. Always wear my hinged brace during shows. Thanks for askin'!

Hahaha. Naw, I wasn't patting at all. I was totally convinced I failed the exam, so when I saw the "congrats" letter the other day, I was pretty stoked. That probably caused some short-term back patting. I'm okay now though!

YIPPIE!

Congrats!

Is that why your IM says "sleeping?" all the time? Are you catching up from all the late nights cramming??
