Your Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Test Questions

How is this different from just re-reading my TCI manual?

The TCI manual provides the knowledge; our TCI practice exam tests your ability to apply that knowledge in complex, real-time scenarios. It’s the difference between knowing the definition of co-regulation and knowing the right co-regulation technique to use when a child is escalating.

Is this the official exam from Cornell University?

No. This is an independently developed Cornell TCI exam prep tool designed to be a highly realistic simulator. It is created to help you master the material and pass the official exam administered by your certified TCI instructor or organization.

What topics are covered in the question bank?

Our questions cover the full TCI 7th Edition curriculum, with a deep focus on the core domains: the Stress Model of Crisis, Behavior Support Techniques, Active Listening, Co-regulation, the Life Space Interview (LSI), and the principles of safe physical intervention.

Is this TCI practice test free?

Yes! You can start with a free practice test that gives you full access to our platform’s features and a robust sample of our scenario-based questions. You’ll receive a complete performance analysis to guide your study.

Why do I need a practice test for the TCI exam?

The TCI exam tests critical thinking under pressure. Practicing in a simulated environment builds your confidence, improves your response time, and reveals the specific areas where you need more review, ensuring you are fully prepared on test day.
