The program was very thorough yet it provided sample quizzes and exams that were closely related to the format of the actual exam. The study program helped in understanding how to process and go about answering the questions.
I was one of those people caught in the transition of the new exam structure. I took the SWE in November of 2015 and the new CCE in April, so I've had a lot of practice in reading lengthy questions! I did not pass the CCE in April missing the passing score by 1 point and running out of time! I guessed on questions 120-160 in the interest of time and left the last ten blank. I walked away feeling defeated and anxious, it's a traumatic experience. What I never doubted was TDC! I didn't use any other test prep company and felt supported by TDC and the coach I worked with.
I took the Law and Ethics Exam on 9/23/16, and passed! I was pleased with the overall process for study prep with this program, as the approach is holistic. As an individual who is active and leads a healthy lifestyle, I was pleased with the encouragement from Amanda to eat well and exercise during the process of studying. Not only that, but the practice exams were prepared in a similar writing style as the actual exam questions. I am pleased to have passed the L&E exam on the 1st try, and am looking forward to passing the clinical exam soon! Thanks, TDC!
I had the recurring thought during the exam that I was failing but used mindfulness to notice and let the thought go without reacting to it. I think not freaking out was key for me. I usually finished the practice tests with 20 plus minutes to spare, yet for the exam only had two minutes to spare. The test room in SF was really cold and I was extremely uncomfortable in a cotton long sleeve cardigan, long jeans and sandals. I wished I had a jacket or scarf or closed shoes. This program was very helpful and clearly organized which I appreciated.
I thank God that a friend told me about Amanda Rowan and TDC. I passed the first exam and as I prepared for the clinical exam, I knew that TDC would get me through this process as well. I studied and took Amanda into the exam with me. I was prepared to answer difficult questions based upon the curriculum and as with the first exam, the life saver was drinking juice and eating a banana during the break to refuel. I waited 8 weeks for my exam results and I'm ecstatic to say that I passed the clinical exam and I am now licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist, dreams do come true!
First things first, there is no way I would have been able to do it without TDC! I took the clinical MFT exam 9/30/16 and passed! I finished answering 170 questions with 10 minutes before the 4 hours were up. I had marked 11 questions, I used those 10 minutes to review the marked questions, changed 2 of the answers and my time was up. Throughout the test I did not feel as if I was passing despite the fact of being able to narrow it down to two answers. I passed on the first try!
Thank you so much for creating this study program! I felt super prepared information wise, and the test taking strategies helped me feel confident going into the exam. Thanks to TDC, I passed both MFT exams on the first go!
I passed on my first attempt! I was worried going into the exam as I received some bad news the night before, which caused me a restless sleep, and also took away from some planned study time. However, I went for a run the day prior to ease my nerves after the bad news and to assist with preparing for the exam. As Amanda suggests, exercise is key! The morning of, I felt nervous driving to the exam site, but remembered to have all of my snacks with me.
Practicing logical deductive reasoning is what is not only helpful to pass, no memorizing, but is the skill that serves us in our professional lives, ethically and managing liability. TDC has helped me think more critically and that's priceless.
