I know how intimidating state exams can feel, so I created this guide to ease the stress and help you prepare with confidence. It’s designed for new and current HCS providers looking to become contracted with HHCS as Program Managers.

Whether it’s your first try or another attempt, remember—HCS allows only one shot with a passing score of 85% or higher. So study hard, stay focused, and believe in yourself. You’ve got this! I've added the state code regulations Title 26. TAC Code 565 for reference.

Sincerely,
Group Home Pros. 🌟
