Hi James,

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad the process for requesting and obtaining
accommodations for the NCE has seemed straightforward for you so far.
I hope it continues to work out smoothly for you. Please keep me
posted.
I will definitely check out those resources, too. Best of luck as you
are nearing the end of your Master's!!

Sarah

 Hey Sarah,
  The accommodations process is pretty simple. You will request
accommodations, fill out a document, and they will accommodate you.
You also have the opportunity, if you choose to use a reader, to meet
with the assigned reader ahead of time. This is nice because you can
determine early if the reader is a good fit for you. As far as the
study materials, Bookshare has several study and review books. Also,
you can go to the following site: https://www.practicequiz.c
<https://www.practicequiz.c/>om/
 You can sign up for a question of the day and look at sample tests. I
hope this is helpful for you. I complete my mental health counseling
program at Vanderbilt in May. I will also take the NCE inMay.
  Wishing you the best!
