I thank God, Amanda and the TDC team!!!! Following their guidance and listening carefully to all the tips, strategies and rationales helped me tremendously on the exam. My first round of studying, I did not follow their testing strategies and I did not pay close attention to details (i.e. the Top 50, DSM, etc.), which led me to not pass. However, on the second round of studying, I took detailed notes on the lectures, went through all the steps with a "fine tooth comb" and followed their guidance on how to manage my anxiety and maneuver through the exam and....I PASSED! Than you again and I appreciate all the hard work you all put in to this AMAZING program!

I am so thankful for this program as I was terrified to take this exam due to peers saying how hard it was to pass the exam. I did everything outlined in this course and passed on my first try. I was nervous going into the exam because I was scoring in the high 50’s on practice and mock exams but reviewing what I got wrong helped me to become a better test taker. I felt the practice and mock exams were more challenging than the actual exam but challenged my brain to problem solve so I was mentally prepared for the real exam. The tip In having a snack mid test was helpful as I had a fruit snack and small juice box which really did give me a small surge of energy I needed to finish the later part of the exam. Also the tip of having self talk throughout the exam of saying your name and I can figure this out also helped push me through the exam. I also exercised lightly daily when studying for the exam to release anxiety. Everything about TDC was helpful and I hope continues to help other clinicians. Thank you for this program and helping me pass my exam first try. Since starting grad school I was fearful of this exam and now I feel a huge weight lifted and can continue my work being a clinician and doing what I love for a living. Thank you!

I have ADHD and a learning disability. There was a time in my life where my parents did not even know if I would go to college, let alone get my masters degree. Taking this exam was my Mt. Everest. I was able to get extra time to answer to the questions but without this study program and the way it was broken down, it would have been much harder for me to answer the questions correctly based on the testing format. Had I been interviewed in person, I would've nailed it but that is not how this test is given. The most important piece of information was the last audio clip I played the night before. It was just giving pointers and one of the pointers was if the question seems ridiculously hard it is probably a pre-test question, answer to the best of your ability and move on. I kept that in mind throughout the exam, I answered every question but with less anxiety when it came to some of the more challenging ones. This helped from preventing test anxiety to kick in and take over. The other piece of advice was it was okay to be nervous, it was okay to question your own knowledge but just trust your gut. All of that played in the back of my mind throughout the exam. I climbed my Mt. Everest and now I am blessed with a career that will let me help others climb their own mountains. Thank you TDC!

I previously failed this test after studying with two other programs. This study material was so thorough, taking the test was comfortable and the information came to me easily.

I am happy to report that I passed. It has been a long journey with not passing on my first attempt, but during the exam, I prayed, stayed confident and relaxed as I was answering questions. TDC over prepares you for the exam which is a good thing; the actually CA MFT exam felt a little easier than the TDC mocks.

I used TDC for the law & ethics exam IN A PINCH and made it in the knick of time.. literally.. with a few days to spare before my registration expired. Wouldn't recommend it cramming like that. However, old habits die hard. My hours were sent off in August of 2020, but returned for whatever reason so I sent them back in September. Originally, when I sent them off, I was discouraged because I felt like I was set back with time so studying was sporadic. I would study for a week or two then take 3 weeks off.. then a month off... and then around thanksgiving, my hours were approved! I immediately scheduled my exam 3 weeks later because I was done with DMH but knew I wasn't ready and so I pushed it to January 6th. I took all three mocks but didn't listen to rationales or review... nothing! I don't know what I was thinking. Long story short, I failed but I wasn't surprised. So I took a break. A 120-day break, but got back on the ball on Memorial Day weekend and became super strict, as well as intense, with a regimen. The coaches were amazing, Amanda was great, and the whole program was pure goodness. I walked it with confidence, took my break when needed, had my fiancès affirmation on my white board, and MADE SURE TO READ EACH WORD AND TRACE THE ANSWER BACK TO THE VIGNETTE. I've never had it tested or looked at but I'm pretty sure reading comprehension isn't a strong point of mine. Thank you so, so much TDC for sticking with me, extending the program when asked, being fast with responses, and LITERALLY being with me until I passed!!! I love you and don't even know you all personally. Simple thank you for all of your assistance!!
