PS -- Seeing this after Optional Group Study Sessions have ended? You can still join in on the course and get plenty of value! Check out the question "What if I want to join after study sessions are over?" in the FAQs!

Yes it is. I wrote my exam in the same format (5 answers, multiple choice), style (case studies, definitions, and concepts), and delivery (computer based with a piece of paper for taking notes) of the actual exam. I always ask my students to report back to me and tell me if they felt that my practice exam was representative of the actual exam and the vast majority of them say yes.

However, the exam changes every time it's administered and it is not possible to guarantee that my practice exam will look exactly like the real exam.

The purpose of my 150-Question Practice Exam is to give you an opportunity to practice answering exam questions, apply your knowledge in a similar environment to the Prometric testing center, and to help you see where you need to put your focus during your study sessions.

Sure! You if you don't want any additional study support, you can purchase just the practice exam here.

You can absolutely join in on this prep course after Optional Group Study Sessions have ended (and you don't have to come to them at all if they're not your thing).

Optional Group Study Sessions happen 2x/week in the month leading up to the exam and wrap up the week before the exam window opens, but you can still join in and get plenty of value out of this prep course without participating in the Study Sessions.

You won't be able to take advantage of my money back guarantee without participating in Study Sessions, but you'll still get:

• A 150-Question Practice Exam

• Content Review Quizzes (75 bonus practice questions)

• Test Taking Tips and Tricks 30-minute video

• Building Your Study Plan Worksheet and 30-minute video

• All your study materials organized in one place, plus bonus free study materials that will help you walk into your test feeling calm, confident, and prepared.

• Preparing for Exam Day worksheet and 5-minute video

• A 13-page course Workbook

• An easy way to swap coaching sessions with other coaches, a way to connect with other students and find a study buddy, and a list of resources to support you in building your career after you become an NBC-HWC

Students taking the November 2025 board exam will have access to this course for 90 days.
