About the IC&RC Peer Recovery Exam
The IC&RC Peer Recovery (PR) examination certifies individuals with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use recovery to deliver peer support services. Effective July 2025 the exam validates competencies across five domains: Advocacy (20%), Ethical Responsibility (30%), Mentoring and Education (20%), Recovery/Wellness Support (15%), and Harm Reduction (15%). It contains 75 multiple-choice questions - 65 scored plus 10 unscored pretest items - delivered in 2 hours. Peer recovery specialists offer mentoring, support, and resource connection grounded in their own recovery experience while maintaining professional boundaries that distinguish peer support from clinical treatment. The credential is reciprocal across IC&RC member jurisdictions and is locally branded (e.g., CPRS, CRSS, CRS, PRSS) in different states.

How do the IC&RC PR vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 IC&RC PR terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the IC&RC PR terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the IC&RC (International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
Who is eligible for the IC&RC Peer Recovery (PR) exam?
Eligibility is set by each IC&RC member board but IC&RC's published PR standards require a high school diploma or GED, 46 hours of peer-recovery-specific training (10 hours each in Advocacy, Mentoring/Education, and Recovery/Wellness Support; 16 hours in Ethical Responsibility), 500 hours of supervised peer-recovery work or volunteer experience, 25 hours of supervision specific to the PR domains, and a signed peer Code of Ethics statement. Personal lived experience of recovery is required, and any minimum length of continuous recovery is set locally by the board. Candidates apply through their state IC&RC member board.
How is the IC&RC Peer Recovery exam structured?
The exam is computer-based and contains 75 multiple-choice questions - 65 scored and 10 unscored pretest items - delivered in 2 hours at Prometric/SMT testing centers, with remote proctoring available where the member board permits it. Questions have three or four answer choices with one correct or best answer, and there is no penalty for guessing. Scores are scaled 200-800 with a passing score of 500, and candidates who do not pass receive the percentage correct in each content domain.
