The licensing exam was REALLY hard... and if I hadn't used the Therapist Development Center I doubt I would have passed.

Understanding the actual question was the key to TDC success over the other programs. The other programs required a lot of memorization of material that was not on the exam and would have been a waste of time to focus on.
I purchased the Gerry Grossman package for both the written and clinical exams. I studied for 4 months for the written and passed. I studied for 4 months for the vignettes and failed by 3. The weak points were law and ethics and treatment planning. I purchased the TDC for the vignettes. Amanda's way of presenting the material was excellent. Because I had failed before, I got some extra coaching from Robin. I passed the exam today and have to say "Thank you Amanda, Robin and TDC."
I am incredibly grateful to God!!! Woo Hooo I passed my MFT SWE this Friday the 13th! Haha! :) :) :) I am also thankful to Amanda Rowen and TDC for their insight and guidance. I passed my exam the second time around after being more diligent with the material. I can honestly say this was a great learning experience that I utilized the coach and shared with the staff I supervise at work. I have also been able to share with peers in my field who are in the process of studying for the MFT Licensing Exam.
The Clinical Vignette was very challenging. The vignettes and questions were very similar to the test materials. The answer sets were vague and full of mumbo jumbo to use Amanda's words. This made the test challenging because I had to really think. The frames and that way of thinking about the answers is what let me pass the test. I don't believe I would have passed if I wouldn't have had this way of thinking about the questions.
I had a good experience utilizing AATBS before--they were personable and helpful and had extended my access to their tools with no additional fee and for that I will always be grateful to them. However, the system that I will always recommend and encourage anyone to use is from you guys!
The TDC program really helped me organize the topics I needed to study. It was very easy to follow. An additional coaching session gave me the extra confidence that ensured I pass. Thanks.
I had used AATBS for my written test and failed the first time so had to wait 6 months to retest, then passed. It was difficult. This time using your method was totally different, practical and ohhhh so helpful. I did use all the strategies in the vignette test yesterday and they worked beautifully! I will definitely share your program with a couple of friends, it's really so much better then AATBS.
