I attempted my MFT clinical exam in October and failed. I soon realized that this exam is quite different from others I had taken in school as Amanda states in her TDC program. I studied again following step by step on the program (just giving myself more time per segment) to make sure I understood the materials. I had to go over some sections twice because English is my second language. I listened to the strategies more than once and followed the tips for exam day. On exam day, I did not feel like I passed because I ran out of time at the end when I had 10 more questions to go and even then "I PASSED". It feels great to see my effort pay off. TDC does prepare you, hang in there, If I did it, You can do it also.
Very pleased with the program overall, especially the mock exams. I found TDC's mock exams to be pretty challenging in comparison to the actual exam, so that on test day I felt confident and prepared. I appreciate TDC's emphasis on staying calm and "attacking" the test as opposed to unnecessary memorization, which in my experience just creates anxiety.
I couldn't be happier with the TDC program! I used the program prior to taking my Law and Ethics exam and passed without difficulty, so it was a no brainer to use TDC when it was time to take the MFT clinical exam. I'm happy to say I passed the first time out and I know it was due to using the TDC program. It's fantastic! Like the Law and Ethics exam I was so well prepared for the clinical exam that despite having some "pre-test nerves" on board I also felt confident. The program covers everything essential from exam content to testing strategies to additional coaching and support. In addition I want to mention that during the study process there was a period where I was unable to access my materials. I'm happy to report the tech staff at TDC was on it and it was resolved in no time, so I didn't loose any precious study time!! Thank you TDC!! I'm so happy you've been a part of my journey and I will definitely highly recommend your program!!
Love the structure! Happy I took this decision and passed the first time! TDC did there part.
I passed my LMFT exam today!!
Wanted to share my experience since reading others passing posts helped to motivate and encourage me through the studying and preparation process.
I only used TDC to prepare and passed on the first try
Mock 1: 64%
Mock 2: 75%
Final Mock 1: 48% and I ran out of time with 11 questions to go
Final Mock 2: 71% with 10 minutes to spare and took a break at question 90
What helped me:
Followed TDC and listened to the audios
Take a break at question 90 on exam and have a snack. It helps your brain refocus and power through
Stay positive. Keep telling yourself positive affirmations and visualize passing.
Don’t get caught up on staying on one question too long and use scratch paper to write out time break down!
Good luck everyone and big congrats to those that have passed!!!
I recommend TDC for rigorous study material
Thank you, TDC, for all of the inspiration, knowledge, analysis, reassurance, and test taking strategies! It all paid off this morning, as I took my LMFT Clinical Exam in California! The test materials were a perfect match to the content and format of the actual exam. I felt so prepared, so organized, and so confident, because I knew TDC would come through, again (you also helped me pass my Law & Ethics exam!)
Like many who used TDC, I felt prepared to take my MFT clinical exam. Even though I did not pass the exam the first time, it had nothing to do with the lack of preparedness. Instead, I needed to learn to pay attention the detail of key words in each question, i.e. initial, beginning, first, next, proceed, additional (just to mention a few), treatment plan as appose to assessment, intervention as oppose to evaluation or treatment, etc.
I appreciated having access to Robyn when I did not pass the first time. She helped to pull myself together so that I did not feel defeated. Thank you!
TDC way overprepares you! It was anxiety provoking to keep seeing my low scores on the mock exams but once I took the real thing I realized I was breezing right through them!
My experience with TDC was great! From the moment I had access to my study material, I knew I made the right choice. The material is organized in such a clear and concise manner, that it helps decrease the anxiety that can come from feeling overwhelmed with all the material. Anytime I had a question, or needed a boost of confidence, I got quick and encouraging responses from the TDC coach. Most importantly, I felt the program fully prepared me for the real test- there wasn't one topic I felt was missed or not covered by the program and the mock exams were a huge learning opportunity. Come test day I felt ready for the exam and PASSED!! Thank you!!
