NCMHCE Exam Review
Helping Counselors review important concepts for the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Exam and test tips
Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes · CDS Ventures, LLC
Show overview
NCMHCE Exam Review has been publishing since 2019, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 15 episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 35 min and 54 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 12 episodes published. Published by CDS Ventures, LLC.
