I felt very prepared taking my test. I was able to identify what the question stem was asking me. I really appreciated being reminded that I would feel like I was not getting questions right during the test. I was able to deconstruct the questions and eliminate the answers that I knew didn't address what was being asked. I look forward to using your program for the next portion.
I really appreciated that TDC has everything organized and guides you through the steps on a schedule. I felt much less anxious about the whole process not having to figure out what to focus on and how best to go about learning the information. Also, Amanda's encouragement and support to take good care of self is so welcome and helpful. I trust that studying for the clinical exam will be a similar, positive experience.
This program was excellent. It gives you all the information you need for the test!
Thank you Therapist Development Center!!!!! The study materials were awesome. They were very helpful and easy to follow. Amanda's insight was especially helpful.
What helped me were the basic test-taking strategies which I learned. When I entered the exam, I was familiar enough with the process to work my way through. And having a response from Robin Gluck 36 hours before the exam when I thought I was in trouble was helpful. Her advice not to get stuck in 'maybe land' and to take the questions literally helped me not over think the test and 'trust my clinical judgement.'
THANK YOU...I passed the first time! Although I became anxious during the test I was easily able to collect my thoughts and move forward. The state dependent techniques that Amanda shared helped me tremendously. Of all the coaching that Amanda provided, the one thing that helped me feel solid in answering questions was the suggestion to determine WHAT the question was asking before considering the answers--knowing whether they are asking you to respond from a LEGAL or ETHICAL view is vital!
The study material provided by TDC was great at preparing me for the test and was most definitely worth the investment. I would for sure recommend TDC to any of my colleagues who are pursuing their licensure.
Excellent study guide. The pep talk is outstanding! Don't miss it! I also think that the best way to review for the test after you have completed the study guide and the practice tests is to go back to listen again to the Top 30 MFT Topics at the very beginning of the study guide. I kept getting confused on the topics of privilege and child abuse and neglect, and by listening to those sections again, I felt confident going into the test. I used all 90 minutes to take the test.
I tried another study program, but there was so much information in it that I did not know where to start. A coworker told me about this program, and I bought it immediately. I used the study program provided, and by the time I was to take my test I felt very comfortable and prepared to take it. With prayer and the study material I was able to pass my test.
The frames used for answering the questions was especially helpful for me especially around treatment planning. That area tends to get glossed over in training and paying attention to key words was crucial in my mastering the material on my second time taking the exam.
