Pass the NCAC I — or get every dollar back. Guaranteed.

The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it; Standard carries the Money-Back Guarantee and SurePass the SurePass Guarantee.

Standard and SurePass carry it. Score 85%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On SurePass, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $150 retake fee. A refund also comes with free access to keep preparing — 90 more days on Standard, another year on SurePass. Starter carries no refund — don't pass, upload your score report, and we add 30 more days of access, free. Every free period is counted from the earliest date your exam allows a retake. You file the claim in your study portal with your official score report.

Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 150-question paper built to NCC AP's five domains in the shares it publishes — 14% Orientation, 23% Assessment, 25% Ongoing Treatment Planning & Implementation, 21% Addiction Counseling Practices & Skills, 17% Professional Practices — and timed to the real 3 hours. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. Worth knowing what you are comparing that to: NAADAC's own practice test is 70 questions and reports only pass or fail, against a 150-question exam.

SurePass, for almost everyone: today it costs the same as Standard, it runs a full year, and it is the only pass that pays your retake fee if you don't pass (and adds another year free). Standard is a month of access with the Money-Back Guarantee — a refund plus 90 more days if you don't pass. Starter is one week of access with no refund — don't pass and you get 30 more days free.

NCC AP publishes it: "A score of 67% (100/150) is passing." That is 100 of the 150 questions. The 85% our mocks are marked against is ours, not NCC AP's, and it sits well above 67% on purpose — it is the score that qualifies you for the guarantee, and we would rather you find the gap on our paper than on theirs.

NCC AP's exam fee is $150, and some states add an administration fee of their own. In NCC AP's words, "The cost for re-testing is the same," and you may test up to three times in a calendar year. The credential itself is a separate application fee once you pass. Our SurePass Guarantee pays your full $150 retake fee — nobody else in this field puts a dollar toward it.

On demand, through NCC AP's testing partner Kryterion, at a test centre or online with a remote proctor — but only once you have a registration code, which comes from NCC AP after your application is approved or from your state board if you are testing through the state route. Unofficial scores arrive by email when you finish.

Close, and here is how. Every item is written to NCC AP's five domains and weighted the way it weights them, with a reason given for every option, including why each wrong one is wrong. NCC AP publishes no sample items and does not state an option count, so the four options are a fact about our bank, not a claim about theirs. Our mocks run 150 questions on the real 3-hour clock.

Worth knowing exactly what they are. NAADAC sells a $25 practice test of 70 questions that reports pass or fail only, and its Basics of Addiction Counseling manuals — of which it says the series "does not guarantee all topics are covered completely." NCC AP itself says there is no study guide specifically designed for its exams. They come from the body behind the credential, which we cannot claim. Prices move, so check before you buy.

Your account stays and your work stays with it — notes, highlights and flashcard history are all there if you come back. The paid features stop. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you left off, and an upgrade always credits what you already paid.

Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost.

Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, and the whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included — so a drive with no signal is still study time. Scored mocks and the tutor wait for a connection.

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on Starter, 48 hours on Standard, or 72 hours on SurePass, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.

Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
