Thank you of this program! I am a horrible test taker but with TDC I felt confident! I was able to use everything that Amanda recommended and taught and it worked! Thank you so much! The frames helped me relate everything back to the vignette and I was able to sort through the answers quickly!
Thanks so much! Only had to take both tests once in order to pass. The study material was key to understanding test strategies for both tests. Of course the real test is much harder than the mock exams but the structure and basic outline of the questions is very similar and helped me to read and understand the questions and answers on the exam in the way that the test takers meant for it to be understood.
I previously used GS and AATBS, failed 3 times. First time by 5 points, 2nd time by 11 points and the 3rd time by 2 points. I purchased your program, studied for 17 days and passed! Your program was direct, straight to the point and very detailed. I wish I would have found it earlier.
The first time I took the exam I did not use the reframing. The second time I used all the tools and suggestions that were laid out in the lectures and went over the materials several times. I felt that the test the second time was much more approachable and felt very confident throughout the exam. I thank you for putting the Therapist Development Center program together in such a coherent and efficient package. Truly everything one needs to pass the test is contained within your program; I did not use any other system this time.
I passed both exams the first time. I researched several study programs before deciding to use TDC. This program is streamlined and gives you everything you need to pass that includes a schedule, strategy, and well-organized study plan. I did use additional test banks from another program and attended one of their online seminars. Those experiences mainly served to remind me of how superior Amanda's program truly is.
I want to say this was the best material to use and study for this exam. I took this exam 6-7 months ago and missed it by 1 but after using this material it really help me tackle the exam and I passed!!! Thank you !!!
I used TDC for the SWE and passed on my first try. However, I was so nervous coming into the CVE. With many peers failing the exam and the CVE being based on reading comprehension, I was doubting my abilities as a therapist. I tried to supplement with other test banks. It was awful! It added to my anxiety and their methods contradicted my own skills as a therapist. So, I returned to TDC and it was the best choice for me. The lessons restored my confidence that I could "attack" the test and handle any crazy question with my frames.
As therapists-in-training we enter this relational field because we value human connection; yet, the process of becoming licensed and facing multiple-choice Board exams can often feel depersonalized and faceless. Trusted friends and colleagues raved about TDC and taking a leap of faith, I followed in their footsteps. Going through both programs for M.F.T. licensure made me feel instantly grounded from the moment I started; Amanda became a personal guide and coach, lending confidence and a human touch each step of the way.
I was initially skeptical about utilizing audio means for studying because I am more of a visual learner, but this method erased all skepticism. It allowed me to be in the process and connect the information to my experience. I was able to bring the voice of TDC into the test with me, which was essential for me to pass.
I am licensed in Texas and moved to California. The BBS required me to retest. It has been 9 years since I took my boards in Texas. I had no clue where to start studying formally. The essence of my "studying" these days is referencing my text books as cases require and attending CE/professional development workshops. I truly utilized the techniques taught in the program. The exam was very daunting and even as I sat in front of the computer I kept hearing Amanda's voice saying "you will not feel like you're passing." She was right.
