Finished my masters program in 2012 with 6 months left to go I took in my sisters children 2.3,4 at the time now, 11,12,13. I was blessed with parenting and raising these children and in result has to put my goals on the back burner even receiving a second intern number. I first went with AATBS it’s what my
College used in 2012. A friend in 2018 told me try Gerry Grossmen, I couldnt figure out the logic of the tricks. After not passing twice I was discouraged and started new employment. My boss is an LMFT and she said try TDC I promise you will love it and you will pass. Listen to Amanda??? Who is Amanda? Well, Little did I know that Amanda was the best friend anyone could ever have during this exam process and her method stuck with me, even through the test! I’m hands on so being able to take notes and listen to rationales while having test in front of me helped. The kids would ask, “ what did Amanda say today”. My test was backed up to the end of October the 29th to be exact and the day before I had a plan and everything you could think of went wrong including having to switch hotels. So I ended up at 6pm looking over the papers I put aside for the day before and finishing the mock 1 and review. I made it to the final mock 2 but had to click through it because my eyes were burning. I finally put aside used eye drops and had to trust myself. Next day morning jitters I woke up showered and went over one page to get in the mode and felt positive, prepared, and ready! I was going to conquer my fears of test taking and today was the day! Started test my chest felt heavy at one point so I closed my eyes said a prayer, breathed a couple times and pressed on. By 100 I was ready for my banana and Gatorade and bathroom break, literally doing jumping jacks in the hall way of excitement that I was almost done!!! Coming into the final 10 questions I feel my heart beating rapidly practically
Jumping out of my chest. Question 170 done:)!! Only 2 marked went back like Amanda said was able to find something different in the questions stem and DONE! I finished! The lady in the front reminded me of Mrs. Claus with her cheery disposition, however she turned my paper over and showed no emotion. I picked it up and the word pass started the water works that was long overdue. I went in the hall dropped to my knees and thanked God and Amanda for helping me get over my own fear of failure! My life has changed for the better and already has opened up more doors. Going into this journey I didn’t know my husband would also have a bad accident and become 100 percent disabled. This test had more meaning than words can express, but I’ll tell ya” it was marked as one of the best days in my life that I will be able to continue to support and care for my family and make a difference in the lives of others!
Thank you So much for the guidance and the Audios! Best program ever to date in my book! No doubt when people ask what program to use that to I will always recommend TDC!!!

OMG!!!! I am so happy with TDC and the staff!! I was so nervous and everything that happened just as you guys said it would!!! I literally had Amanda's voice in my head thinking about how each answer would hold up and I remember thinking...Hmm...Amanda would say that answer is not strong enough!!! Haha!!! So Happy!! You guys are the best!!! I passed on my first try!!!

This program is so well put together! I have referred several therapists! It's evident that
Amanda knows what she's doing! The program is comprehensive. She has covered EVERY detail! Amanda has put a lot of time and effort into making you feel as if she is with you every step of the way. She has a great knowledge of how people learn. She says that exercise is a MUST and she is absolutely right! The quick studies were a great help. The strategy talk toward the end of the program, hearing from the two coaches, (Reading the question before the vignette) was a complete GAME CHANGER!!!! That strategy helped me to read the stem through the lens of what was being asked. Also, being told to avoid "Maybeland" Obviously I can't say enough!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! <3

I feel like TDC over prepared me which I am very grateful. I took every mock exam and review the questions I had wrong. I was able to use the strategies and pass my exam the first time.

Due to Covid-19 testing restraints, Person Vue had limited testing availability. I had only two options, 7 weeks out, or over 3 months out. I opted for a test date that was only 7 weeks out and had not started any test prep. I purchased TDC immediately and was able to follow their study timeline pretty closely. Letting them determine when and for how long I would study relieved so much stress and prevented me from overworking myself. I felt very well prepared for the test and finished with extra time to review a few flagged questions. Thanks TDC!

The mock tests were very helpful and helped me with time management. I had 40 minutes remaining on the actual test after answering all the questions. I had time to review my answers and didn't change any of them. I would suggest test takers hydrate before taking the test, especially if they don't plan to take a break. I did have a light breakfast so that helped. I arrived early and they asked if I wanted to go ahead and begin. My appointment was to begin at 10:30 am and I began at 9:45 am. It was nice to take the exam at a location that was not far from where I reside. Thank you so much for sticking with me until I passed!

I have always had extreme anxiety around test-taking. TDC, not only taught me the material for the clinical examination, but also guided me through the anxiety. I followed the plan and was delighted to pass on my first time. Thank you!

TDC got me beyond ready for the exam! The full mocks really prep you for the real deal, that the actual state exam felt easier than the two full mocks provided! Thank you for keeping me on my toes and helping me reach my goal of licensure!!!

It's difficult to give a testimonial for TDC without detailing all the reasons why AATBS is horrible. TDC has a nuanced and specific understanding of the lmft exam and it was evident in the first audio introduction. AATBS mindlessly over prepares you for DSM diagnosis and under-prepares you for the generic and frustrating questions that make up the majority of the test. If I had gotten lucky and chosen TDC instead of AATBS I would have passed the first time.

I would absolutely recommend this study material. I had the opportunity to view a friend's study material from another company and I felt that it gave so much information that was not relevant to the exam. TDC did a great job of covering a ton of material but kept it relevant to the exam specifically. I bought this material specifically for studying for this exam and it gave me what I needed. Overall I think it's exactly what I needed to pass my exam the first time through.
