Important Information Regarding Exam
In December 2011, IC&RC began using pretest items on its exams. Pretesting allows IC&RC to streamline its exam development process, provide much needed data on questions, and increase the security of its exams
On each IC&RC exam there are 25 “unweighted” items that do not count toward candidates’ final scores. Unweighted items are also called pretest items. Pretest items are not identified on exams and appear randomly on all exam forms. All exams are 150 questions in length, including the Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC), which was previously 175 questions.
For further information regarding pretest items please visit IC&RC’s website at the following link:
