I attribute my success in passing the exam to the Therapist Development Center program. Following the recommendations of how to study set me up for success. The format of the mock exams were such that, when I was in the live exam, I felt very comfortable. It was important to pay attention to not only the right answers to questions but also to notice how I take the exam. For example, I would get through the tests in an hour when I have an hour and a half. I would find myself picking the best answer and noting the second best answer. If I took a little more time with those questions to consider rationale and choose the best answer, I scored better. I also appreciated the responsiveness to emails that I sent when I had questions. All of the support in this progam, helps build confidence for taking the exam.

Passed on the first day of spring in the covid times! This program was great. The practice questions were spot on, and the advice all sound (Amanda was there with me). I had a lot of test anxiety and the program made me feel prepared and ready to do my best.

I recommended TCD to all of my colleagues that have not yet taken the L&E exam! An excellent program for learning and for passing the official exam!

It was expensive, but worth it. I found the test taking tips very helpful, "think safety, read word for word..."

I have extreme test anxiety and have to say that your program exceeded my expectations. It helped me feel prepared and confident. I would recommend your program to EVERYONE. Thank you thank you thank you!

I felt so prepared for the exam, I can't thank TDC enough. I noticed how much differently I approached the test in the way I read, assessed what the question was asking, and how to respond out of best interest/needs of the client. The mock exams were extremely helpful as I approached test day. I highly recommend this program to others and I will definitely be coming back when it is time to start preparing for my clinical exam. Thank you again.

I first took this exam last year and failed. I had bought a study guide book off Amazon and assumed it was enough for me to pass, but I was wrong. The book offered a very broad overview of California’s law and ethics and it didn’t prepare me for the actual exam. Failing the exam left me feeling extremely disappointed, upset, embarrassed, and stressed. When it was time to re-take the exam, I discovered TDC and it was a GAME CHANGER. I cannot say enough good things about this program. It's extremely thorough, helpful, user friendly, and encouraging! It not only teaches you all the information you need to know, but it also teaches you HOW to take standardized tests and think through each question. I found the exam questions VERY similar to the practice questions. I used the TDC program while super pregnant with two little kids at home and I PASSED. This program helped me feel prepared and confident going into the exam. I was able to keep my test anxiety under control and passing is such an enormous relief. 10/10 recommend TDC to everyone working towards their license. You got this!

The program was effective and taught me how to apply what I learned to the test.

The thing that got me through the test was taking your advice to answer all questions and flag the ones I didn't know instead of lingering too long on one answer. Ultimately I had five minutes to review the 40 questions that I flagged. I had little time to review the ones I flagged. I'd rather fail because I missed an answer as opposed to leaving them blank due to time running out.
It was also helpful that you said, "you will feel like your failing, just keep going. Don't let it discourage you."
I was convinced I failed the test. I rarely felt confident with my answers. I felt absolute on about five questions. It is frustrating that I got a pass, but I can't see how many I missed. Why do they do that?

Excellent program! I passed the Law & Ethics exam on the first try and have TDC to thank! I have recommended this course to other AMFTs because this program works!
