There are a couple of different ways to take the NCMHCE exam. How you take the exam will determine how you receive your scores afterwards. If you take the exam on a computer, you will receive an unofficial score report immediately after completing the final section. In addition, an official copy of your test scores will be sent to the testing board about three weeks after the date of the test. If you take the NCMHCE exam with pencil and paper, your scores will be sent out about six weeks after the date of the exam.
