Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the CCE Global Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE) exam you need Varies by institution/program (no universal fixed passing score), and the official registration fee is USD 150–200 (varies by testing region and administration). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 150–200 (varies by testing region and administration) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

Typically requires enrollment in or completion of a CACREP-aligned or counselor education graduate program; eligibility is confirmed via program approval or institutional authorization.
