I used TDC for law and ethics and knew I had to use them again for my clinical exam. It is such a great study program and I chose to follow it rigidly with a schedule and followed all the advice from Amanda. I find that it overprepares you, which is not something some of my colleagues report from other test prep packages. This allowed me to feel that I was VERY READY. I also utilized Nancy Klein the day before the exam as a last minute coaching session. She helped me to feel confident and helped me with an additional tip that augmented TDC in the way of how to answer the questions when you are down to 2 choices.

I followed the recommended study process and dedicated 6 hours a week for 9 weeks to study. I learn by reading and writing, so I took notes. A LOT of notes. for every study guide that was printed, I transcribed the info in to notes and added notes as I listened to the lectures. I reviewed my notes during week 7 and took the practice/mock exams week 8 and 9. Reviewing the rationales for the answers was BEYOND HELPFUL and really solidified HOW to take the test and parse the words and phrases to determine the best answer. I took nuts and a banana with me, ate right before I went into the testing center. They gave me a dry erase tablet and I wrote my full name and "Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist." That's it. Amanda, you were right, I felt like I was failing multiple times, especially around the halfway point when I was not where I wanted to be for the time I had left. I had flagged some answers by then and was really in my head. Then I remembered that some of the questions are test questions and maybe those are the ones I flagged. Lots of stretching, breathing (with my mask on), and glancing down at that dry erase message that I was already an LMFT. I completed the test with 20 minutes to spare allowing me to go back to the flagged questions. I re-read and decided that I would go with my gut and NOT change the answers, trust that I had successfully put the responses in order as if I was having a session with that client and recognizing when I wouldn't actually do something ie; convince the couple to stay married for the sake of their children. Exactly 4 hours later -- literally on the dot -- "CONGRATULATIONS. You Passed the California Clinical exam." THANKS TDC!! - - Tanna Jacob, MA, LMFT :)

So grateful! I was aggressive, and pushed my self to sign up for the exam within 4 weeks of having my hours approved. I purchased the program 11/18/2021, completed the program and passed my test on 12/16/2021! I felt prepared and comfortable taking the exam. This course is organized and succinct. I am a better clinitian because of it! THANK YOU TDC!

"I really appreciated how TDC helped to organize my thoughts in a way that both prepared me for the test and for conversations with my clients. I feel even more prepared and excited to move forward as a licensed provider. Thank you, TDC!"

I tried AATBS and Gerry Grossman and wasted lot money
I should have just studied with your materials from the beginning if I knew this program before those 2 programs.

Honestly I did not follow the program as directed the first time as life circumstances got in my way and the expiration of my number was approaching so i felt I had no choice and had to take the exam. This time I had a more focused approach and utilized all the directives given that have been proven to work according to this program and I passed with confidence!!

I passed yesterday! TDC has your back. I had major anxiety during Final Mock #1 and did really poorly, which wrecked with my confidence, but I learned from my mistakes and kept going and by the end, I felt ready. I will say that having gone through that awful anxiety prepared me for how I might also feel during the exam. In the beginning of the exam I felt a wave of it, but bc I had learned that most of it was due to time management, I was able to relax, knowing I had time markers to refer to whenever I needed. That was huge for me. There are moments when you feel like you are failing, but getting through those, and moving through it is essential to finishing strong.

I would like to thank the TDC community for all of the support that was provided. I really appreciate the encouragement staff provided when I had no passed the first two times. I also appreciate how you stuck with me and provided resets on the study material until I passed. TDC is an excellent study resource that I would recommend to anyone for exam prep.

I used TDC programs for both law & ethics and MFT clinical exam. I really like the audio because I do not like to learn by just reading. information stays with me when I hear it from others. The short summaries of each topic is helpful and easy to manage for me. I passed on my second attempt at the clinical exam. I believe due to studying for a second round all the information and taking all the exam provided; reviewing the answers afterwords is most helpful! Thank you!

Study Program was very helpful. I passed the first time I took the exam.
