How do I prepare for an exam?

The NCCAOM provides a comprehensive NCCAOM® Candidate Preparation Guide for each certification program. Each Guide includes an overview of the examination process, the examination content outlines, test specifications, bibliographies, a cross-reference of terms that are frequently used in English language literature, sample questions for the exams, and this NCCAOM® Examination: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document. The Guides are free to download from the Examination Preparation section of the NCCAOM website, but a paper copy may be requested for a fee. Individual exam content outlines can be downloaded directly from this page as well.
