This exam review serves as a primary resource for any student taking the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES®) exam offered by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc.

Chapters dedicated to each of the Seven Areas of Responsibility and Competency for the CHES® exam include 20 practice exam questions and answers with rationales for the correct answers. Additionally, a sample practice exam covering each of the Seven Areas of Responsibilities, and an answer section with rationales for the correct answers, provides the student with a simulated exam experience and with a set of questions reflecting the coverage and balance of topics one is likely to see on exam day.
