{{ lockCta }}Successive relearning: a card counts as known only after you recall it correctly on three separate days, and each correct day pushes it further out (1, 3, 7, 14, 30, then 60 days). Recalling it twice in one sitting does not count twice. Hard brings it back tomorrow. A miss drops it one step and brings it back later in this session so you relearn it today. Keyboard: space flips, 1 = don't know, 2 = hard, 3 = know it, arrows move.
Nothing due right now.
Every card you have seen is scheduled for later. Switch to All cards to keep going, or come back tomorrow.
What this deck is for
The NCMHCE does not ask for definitions in isolation. It hands you a client and asks what you would conclude or do next. The 458 cards in this deck are written for that. Many of them are about telling two similar clinical pictures apart, the time criteria that decide a diagnosis, and what a counselor does at a given point in treatment. They are sorted into the exam's areas: assessment, areas of clinical focus, treatment planning, counseling skills and interventions, ethics, and core counseling attributes.
A worked example. One card asks how to tell major depressive disorder from persistent depressive disorder in a case. The answer starts with the calendar: an episode of weeks to months with a clear onset points to major depression, a low mood lasting two years or more points to persistent depressive disorder, and the two can occur together. Before you flip, say what you would look for in the intake to decide. That is the same move a case question asks of you.
How to fit the deck around the cases
- Work a case first. After the review, open the deck for the area you missed most and clear those cards before your next case.
- Use Due today on most days. It mixes the cards your schedule says are due with 20 new ones, so review never piles up.
- Say the answer out loud before you flip, then rate it: Don't know, Hard or Know it. Honest ratings are what make the spacing work.
- When an area is all known, go back to timed cases. The cards build the knowledge; the cases build the judgment.
The schedule is the same one the NCE deck uses: a card counts as known after correct recall on three separate days, and each correct day pushes it further out, from one day to sixty. A miss comes back later in the same session. The deck is free with a Google sign-in, which saves your progress. Taking the NCE instead? Use the NCE flashcards. New to the case format?
