I used the Gerry Grossman system and The Therapist Development Center was much better. I liked the way this program is structured so you know what you need to study and when. It felt like someone was holding my hand through the process of preparing for the test.
Passed the MFT Standard Written Exam today 8/28/15! I just can't say enough about TDC. I was confident and prepared. I used all my strategies that Amanda recommended and it worked. I stayed present and focused. I could hear Amanda's voice guiding me through difficult and (long) questions. I'm so happy today. Thank you so much for the quick reply to my email and the encouragement that was included.
I loved this program! A few colleagues had recommended it and I am so grateful for choosing this program! I have already recommended it to others.
I found this program to be so incredibly helpful in my success of passing the first exam! Thank you to Amanda and the wonderful Asya who answered many questions I had and helped me to go into my exam with the confidence I needed to succeed!
Warning: Don't take this exam without Amanda! Her strategies were spot-on on how to pass. An excellent program!
The TDC program is beautifully clear and focused. It give you the crucial information and especially the strategies you need without loading you with unnecessary stuff. I would strongly recommend that you go over the practice vignettes and the first practice exam until you feel you've mastered the material. Be prepared, too, for the BBS questions that are not reasonable--and probably don't count. Finally, I deeply appreciated the support from TDC. You feel they care about you passing and not just about your money.
I just passed my MFT CVE exam on my first try thanks to TDC! I feel that the strategies and tools provided by Amanda were what helped me the most, especially on theory based questions where I wasn't sure about the correct answers. Eliminating at least 2 answer choices helped me with time managemen, as did focusing on what the questions were actually asking, rather then getting stuck on the answer choices that were “?”. Thank you Amanda (and Robin) for coaching me throughout this process and for proving study materials that were effective and easy to use.
This program is FANTASTIC! I cannot believe how well-prepared I was (and, atypically, NOT anxious) going into the exam yesterday. I am so grateful for having found the "ticket" for me. I'd attended a couple seminars and purchased materials from another test prep company, but honestly, they just made me more confused and overwhelmed. I don't think I could've passed on my first try w/out Amanda and TDC. Thanks so much! (Now onto purchasing the Clinical Vignette prep!!)
Mid-test, I didn't feel confident that I was passing. While this easily could have thrown me into panic-mode, I could hear Amanda's words in my head, "Lean in. Think pass. You can figure out the answers." And despite the nerves, I did!
This entire study program 100% prepared me for taking both exams. The best program available. I would highly recommend purchasing and using both exam prep courses for the MFT tests. Thank you!!
