Over 80% of the candidates who pass the exam passed it the first time they took it, because they studied the material provided.

Top Reason for failing the Exam:
Didn't study the material

You may have already learned everything that will be tested on, but don't assume that you can pass the exam solely on that past knowledge.

You will need to know the information in these 3 books to pass the exam:
 

 
 
 
   
Study method
 
 
   
The tutorial walks you through
TAP 21, The Addiction Professional,
and The MAT Counselor publications, and identifies all of the subject matter that may be tested upon within the current multiple-choice exam.

If it is not in these books,
it will not be on the Exam.

Recommended:
Watch the tutorial Parts 1-3 in order, highlight in the books the areas identified in the tutorial, and then go back and study those areas.

The Tutorial is in two formats:

Use the "RAS Exam Tutorial" if the paperwork we sent you specifies that you are signed up for the RAS Exam

Use the "ACE Exam Tutorial" if the paperwork we sent you specifies that you are signed up for the ACE Exam.

  RAS / ACE Exam  
   
The exam has been updated and renamed the "Addiction Counselor Examination" or "ACE" exam.
