Who this is for
You're sitting the exam in 4–10 weeks
You've finished (or are close to finishing) your ICF-approved training. You need pattern recognition under timed pressure across 78 items — not flashcards.
You've read the 8 sample items ICF publishes
And then you ran out of practice material. There is no other openly-available, rationale-rich corpus large enough to take you from "I know the framework" to "I score 75%+ under timed conditions."
You want PCC or MCC, not ACC
The corpus is weighted to PCC/MCC discernment — best/worst calibration where two reasonable coaches might land differently. ACC-level items are included but not the focus.
You're renewing your credential
Most of the items map to ICF Core Competency CCEUs, including 3.0 hours of dedicated Ethics — the hardest CCEU bucket to fill at renewal. CCE accreditation pending (Phase 2 launch).
What's in the bank
- 300 original situational-judgment scenarios Three to five sentence coaching scenarios with four options each, best/worst format — exactly the shape of the real exam. Not one item reproduced from the ICF resource. Authored by an MCC and reviewed against the seven-test quality rubric.
- Master-coach rationale on every item Why the best answer is best (citing the specific ICF Competency behavioural marker), why the worst is worst (what it violates in the Code of Ethics or the Competency), and what makes the two middles tempting traps.
- Level mix tuned for PCC/MCC ~3% ACC · 53% PCC · 44% MCC. Weighted toward the credential tiers where best/worst calibration is hardest.
- Real exam timing 78 items, two 81-minute sections, 10-minute break — same shape as the PCC/MCC sitting. Extended-time accommodation available.
- Drill, custom, and study modes Drill a single competency. Build a custom 30-item run. Walk the corpus item-by-item in study mode with rationale visible after each answer.
- Original work, copyright-protected Every item is original to Boris Prigmore. Watermarked per-user. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the International Coaching Federation.
Frequently asked
Is this affiliated with ICF?
No. The product is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or licensed by the International Coaching Federation. "ICF Credentialing Exam" is referenced descriptively only. Items are original work, not reproduced or derived from any ICF resource.
What does $149.99 buy me, exactly?
90 days of full access to the entire 300-item bank, all modes (full mock, quick mock, drill, custom, study), and master-coach rationale on every item. Access starts the moment payment clears. After 90 days you can renew or step away.
What's the "founding 50" thing?
The first 50 buyers get the product for $99 instead of $149.99 — a launch promo. The counter above is live. Once 50 spots are gone, the price reverts to $149.99 (or $119.99 with a mentor-coach code).
I'm working with a mentor coach. Can I get a discount?
If your mentor coach has signed up as a referrer at our mentor page, ask them for their code — it takes 20% off (so $119.99 instead of $149.99). The founding-50 price is better if it's still available; the mentor discount kicks in once those are gone.
What's the refund policy?
7-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee — provided you've consumed less than 20% of the bank. Email boris@boristhecoach.com.
Does it work on my phone?
The simulator is designed for desktop or tablet — drag-and-drop best/worst answers is the core interaction, which doesn't translate well to phone screens. The real exam is sat on a desktop too. If you've only got a phone, email us and we'll sort something out.
Will I pass after using this?
This product replicates the shape and difficulty of the exam and gives you 300 items of rationale-rich practice. Coaches who walk in having scored well on the full mock typically walk out having passed. No promise — passing is your work, but the practice is the most useful preparation you can do that isn't proctored.
What about CCEUs?
CCEU accreditation through ICF is in progress (target launch: Phase 2). When live, completing the program will earn ~20 CCEUs including 3.0 in Ethics — one of the hardest renewal buckets to fill. Existing customers will be granted the CCEU certificate when accreditation lands.
Can I see a sample?
Yes — create an account and you'll get 10 free items + a 25-item diagnostic with a competency-by-competency breakdown emailed to you. No card required for the sample.
Ready to start?
Create an account (email magic-link, no password) and the simulator opens up. You can run the free diagnostic before deciding to buy.
