NBHWC Exam Tips

A note from Jade...

When I got out of the NBHWC exam, I remember thinking WOW that was difficult!

I’d studied a lot and felt confident in knowing the material, but the tricky part was reading through scenario after scenario filled with details that may or may not be relevant, for a full 150 questions.

I wished there had been more resources that allowed me to practice actually taking the test, getting used to the time frame, the burnout that you feel reading over your 100th scenario.

So, I wrote a test of my own. Hopefully this will make you feel more confident about your testing experience than I did.

About Us

Jade Kedrick
Coach Leader and Educator

I served as an instructor and faculty advisor for an approved NBHWC Health & Wellness Coach Training Program (which is unaffiliated with this practice test) for four years. These are actually the second and third full-length practice tests I’ve written. I originally wrote one for the course I worked for, but then I created two brand new ones so that I could share them with all the test-takers outside of my course!

I also served as a full-time health coach and health coach manager for six years. I passed the NBHWC exam in February 2020, and I am a certified holistic health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

My intention with these tests is to help you feel confident when you’re taking the official exam. It’s difficult! I want to provide you with the resources I deeply wished I’d had.
