I feel like TDC really prepared me. I struggled with time management going over the time by 20-30 minutes on the practice exams. I also felt like I was not scoring high enough and my anxiety was off the charts. I contacted a TDC coach and Asya was super helpful with time management, anxiety and helping me work through reading comprehension. I'm super grateful for this program and so happy that the exam is behind me.
Thank you so very much TDC!!! This is my 2nd attempt at the California Clinical Exam. I used a different review course and walked out of the 1st attempt thinking, "that was not the exam I studied for." I knew there was a missing piece to my exam preparation. When I found TDC by accident I knew it was what I needed to prepare. Thank Goodness I found TDC!!! I read the testimonials and knew it was important to follow the course outline step by step. I took the first final mock and scored a 54. I ran past the 4 hours and rushed to finish in the allotted time. I reached out to Asya and she gave me some fantastic coaching!!!
My quiz scores were 68/83. My mock scores were 71/62/71. I did not take mock test II. I reviewed the rationals after mock I, feeling quite defeated. I meditated and realized I needed to "commit." I kept my original test date and passed!!! I have been out of school for 20 years and am coming from Texas with an LPC license. This was the hardest exam I have ever had including getting my MBA. Thank you Amanda and Asya!!! Bring your juice and piece of fruit/fruit roll up for a break! It worked Thank you so much TDC!!!
This program is excellent, and I highly recommend it for anyone preparing to study for their exam. The audio recordings, exams, and handouts were all very helpful, in helping me to pass my clinical exam. Thank you to Amanda, and the coaches for putting this program together, and for always being so quick to respond.
I am so grateful to TDC !!! I feel that the reason I was able to pass both my Law & Ethics exam and my Clinician MFT exam is solely due to the use of this program. Not only was I given tools for the exams, but I also learned information that I did not know in both programs (Law/Ethics & Clinical Exam) which can only serve to make me a better clinician. I would & will recommend this program to all!!!!! I have major test anxiety, and with Amanda in my head, I was able to stay positive and confident.
Thank you, TDC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I passed the BBS Clinical Exam on July 5th. Thank you TDC for the program and the information imparted. The BBS exam was tough. It's true that you have to surrender to the uncertainty of how you are doing on the exam and take each question one by one and leave the previous question behind. I went through the TDC program twice plus listened to the audios over and over. The top 50 topics are invaluable. Especially, in relationship to the initial, middle and end phases of treatment planning and how to eliminate wrong answers. I followed the program and strategies in regards to eating, working out, breaks and bringing snack to the exam. After the Final Mock 1 (its a tough one) I reached out to the coach for some feedback and the response was immediate and helpful. TDC condenses your grad school into manageable pieces and you will learn. Thank you TDC.
Fantastic program! The structure was invaluable to maintaining balance in my life, helping me to consistently run through the program reviewing everything we learned becoming therapists, after long days of being a therapist. I ran through it one time, 7 weeks, and took a 3-week break due to personal needs; even with the break, I was able to peruse Quick studies and review parts I felt less strong on (based on self-evaluation from the Mock exams) in just the week prior to my test, and I still passed!
The way it was organized helped me move through the concepts easily, and as a result of studying and taking a day off and then studying again, I started to see things play out at work that I was studying, helping integrate the concepts I needed to know and making the studying feel concrete. It also alleviated much of the anxiety about "being a good clinician;" we all know that's not what this exam is testing, but the anxiety is real anyway. Thank you to Amanda and the TDC team for such a comprehensive, easy to use, and thorough study experience. Yay!
Thanks TDC for the amazing and complete study program and support!
Thanks Robin for always getting back to me so quickly! It was very helpful to take two final mocks at the end to pinpoint the strategies I needed to pay attention and when: anxiety management (before and during the exam); pace during the exam (especially in the beginning); tools to use to re-focus during the exam (star fish; long exhale; look away for a second, 5 min break at question 100, etc).
In addition, I did hypnotherapy to assist with the anxiety related to taking the exam. It was very helpful too!
TDC was my go-to study guide for the MFT Legal & Ethical exam. I passed that exam and knew that TDC would be the best for helping me pass my MFT Clinical Exam. I felt supported the whole way during my studying. More than anything, I felt prepared. I even had a few moments during the exam when I knew I was getting the answer right because I followed the encouraging words of Amanda and TDC to help me get through all of the exam questions.
I took my Clinical Exam last week for the first time and PASSED!!! I feel as though TDC prepared me SO well to pass the actual exam! The Mock exams REALLY helped, and checking in with the coaches was invaluable. I was uncertain whether my scores were up to par, but then was assured that I was scoring within normal limits in order to feel confident about the actual exam. I really struggled with my timing on the Mock exams. I took 4.5 hours for Mock Exam I and then 4 HRS and 10 minutes for Mock II. I wrote to Asya, who provided me a timeline to follow in order to remain on track. I also REALLY appreciated the tips around remaining calm, marking answers no matter what, and taking a break. This test is too important, and I would spend the money again in order to gain my licensure!
Thanks for your help! I was worried I might not pass, but when I actually sat down for the exam I felt over prepared, and ended with lots of time to spare.
