MFT

I just passed the Clinical Vignette Exam, and I don't know how to thank the TDC team.  I passed both exams the first time using this program, and although they were tough exams, the skills I learned gave me the confidence I needed to get through them. I clung to the strategies like a life boat in a storm.  Without them, I truly would have been sunk.   The entire experience with TDC has been excellent.  The lessons were structured in a way that made studying painless and organized.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Amanda Rowen and Therapist Development Center for helping me pass both my MFT exams the FIRST time!  I cannot tell you how confident I felt going into my vignette exam with a specific strategy which works. The most helpful tools were using "frames" to set up each question and to "X" out incorrect answers which saved considerable time and confusion.  By failing your vignette exam Amanda, you have ensured that others will not.  Bless you!

TDC's program seems to teach the essentials.  And, in so doing, she evokes a calming influence.  The test, in my mind, is poorly written and executed and TDC prepares the MFTIs for this inevitability.  The beauty of the process is that the material is important for all of us to know and Amanda makes the process meaningful.  I look forward to the day for Amanda where she won't even need to compare herself to the "other test companies", where she will be able to be THE test company.

I paid for  AATBS before I found TDC. I barely made it through a quarter of AATBS before realizing their test prep method didn't make much sense, and was not worth my time.  TDC easily explained the exam as a puzzle; once you learned the rules, it was simple to get right.  TDC taught me the rules in simple and logical steps.  I passed on my first try.

English is my third language and I always felt inferior when taking time restricted exam. TDC makes it very easy to understand the concept and her methods are simple to comprehend. Thank you TDC and the fabulous team!

I used framing the whole time, it helped me keep on track and pass. I used all the strategies! These materials work!!! So grateful!

I loved this study program and am thankful someone recommended it to me. TDC's style really worked for the way I learned. They broke it down very simply and efficiently. The practice questions are like the ones on the exam. If you take the time to truly understand the rationales after every practice test and the mock you WILL pass. I can't wait to take the second exam.

I have a lot of good things to say. What helped me the most at the actual exam was the super answer. I often was able to narrow it down to two answers and but one of them didn't have a super answer or only one not two super answers. I was still shocked how difficult the exam was. Even though I knew the topics in question, the answer options were so strange that about 80% of the time I wasn't sure. I marked about 11 questions and in the end only changed 1.

I think your system is really great. I had a lot of anxiety about the exam and studying with my 18 month old daughter around. The reason it was so great for me was because it was broken down into manageable chunks. When my daughter went down for a nap, I was able to hop onto my computer and pump out an hour or two of really productive studying while she slept. One thing I would say is that I made flashcards to augment my studying with this program.

The TDC method is well organized, and broken down into steps that are very easy to follow. Compared to other programs, from first glance, I was sold on Amanda's youtube explanation, as well as the website interface. Clicking "Complete" was one of the highlights of my study! I don't know why I procastinated on studying for  so long given how "fun" it was to prepare for the exam.
