The NCMHCE exam is a computerized exam.  The new format of the NCMHCE includes 11 case studies. Each case study will have a set of 13 multiple-choice questions, broken into three sections. The NCMHCE exam is a standard multiple-choice exam, requiring you to choose a single correct answer among choices A-D. The questions are derived from a piece of narrative provided at the beginning of each exam section.
