Thank you for all your help! I especially want to thank Robin who took the time and talked to me on Monday. She was very positive and that helped calm me down. Thank you again for sticking with me until I passed.
I imagine Amanda will live in my brain for many years to come! It's true I took her with me into the examination room. The most beneficial aspect of this program is training the mind to reason rather than memorize. It is wonderfully organized to build the knowledge base incrementally and through "doing", rather than memorizing. I also found that studying the mock exams may have been the most beneficial.
TDC was great. I have six years of experience working at a psychiatrist hospital with SMI patients and primarily using the medical model. This course brought me up to speed on multiple treatment modalities and more than adequately prepared me for the exam. Two days before my scheduled test, I had a mini meltdown. I was filled with insecurity as I was not getting the targeted test results AND I was going 17 minutes over the allotted time. I reached out to Robin who was helpful and grounding. I had a massage the day before the test, hiked, and generally tried to contain the anxiety.
Thank you TDC for helping me pass the LMFT California Clinical Examination at the first attempt! The study material thoroughly prepared me for the exam. I am grateful for the program, and appreciate the excellent communication from coach Robin who encouraged me along the way!
All you need to pass this test is to follow this program. NOTHING ELSE.
Some of the questions felt foreign. I began to feel anxious and annoyed. I began to doubt myself and then remembered what you said. So I took a deep, read through the questions, paying attention to every word and pressed forward. My gut was saying you're not getting these right, but I just trusted my best judgement. Then I was running out of time and panic set in. I amazingly got to the last question with about 10-15 seconds left. I read the middle and took an educated guess. To my awesome surprise, and disbelief, the proctor said, "Congratulations!" and tears just poured. Thanks, bless you
I generally have a difficult time taking tests but this study system made it easy to learn the material and how to think through the answers. I developed confidence in my knowledge and test taking abilities. I am definitely looking forward to preparing for the clinical exam with TDC.
When I was taking the test it felt just like the Mock tests! It kept me from panicking and helped with time management!
After taking the exam I knew that the program had given me the tools to pass. The program adequately prepared me for the exam because of how detailed the lectures were. As explained in the program, I did not know if I had passed or not upon completing the test on exam day. My results were mailed to me from PSI after the 6 weeks waiting period. I passed!
I studied with TDC from December 1, 2017 to February 9, 2018 and I felt prepared. The mocks exams were challenging, but when I was taking the exam I felt very prepared. I was able to pass on my first try, which I thought would be impossible.
