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 took the Licesned Marriage and Family Therapist Law and Ethics and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Law and Ethics Examination and I passed both of them with this program. I reccomend taking the quizzes, listening to the. audio rationale, listening to the lecture series, and taking the mock exams. I saw maybe 1-2 questions from the mock exams that appeared on the actual exam. The lecture series really helped me when I kept missing questions from the quizes and knew I needed specific review on certain topics. I only spent maybe a week studying (really did this last minute) and I felt very calm once I did all of those (although the night before I spent 3 hours studying). I will definitely use this program again for the big exams! Thank you TDC!

TDC help me to structure and plan my studying routine, which was a relief. Using the motto "Enjoy your life", they guided me to not over-study or over-think-- which tends to be ineffective anyhow. There is a surrendering to trusting my capability to reason out which answer was the strongest. I was concerned that maybe I wouldn't pass and would then be faced with looking again at what was eluding me (my scores on mock tests were not great, though I was assured by my coach that they were in fact good. Not so good that I became smug... Anyhow, I passed the bar, first go!! Grateful I didn't give up all my free time and just try to hunker down. Thank you, TDC!!

I had purchased a book on Amazon and the book did not teach me anything relative to the actual Law and Ethics Exam. I returned it. I purchased the Grossman study and that was a waste of money and I did not learn anything. I finally received some guidance from some colleagues to purchase the TDC. I did and when I stuck to my studies and took all the tests and quizzes and reviewed the answers one by one with Amanda, it really helped me understand how the questions are being asked. It is not the what, but the how. What a great program and I am definitely purchasing the LMFT exam training from the TDC. Thanks team!

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.
