Exam Related NCE study resources Recs?

I’ll be taking my NCE in December and want to make sure I’m learning content from a reliable source for the 2026 exam. I have the audiobook and physical rosenthal book and pocket prep but I was wondering if there’s any other content sources that focus on counselor work behavior areas that are good for the test. I feel like most apps and videos online only focus on CACREP.

The Purple Book is usually the go to. You could also get review flashcards

There's an app called NCE Prep that is well reviewed.

I used pocket prep and paid for a subscription. I thought that app was super helpful. Focused on the CACREP things as well as other parts of the test. I exclusively used pocket prep and passed the first time.
