What I like the most about this program is how respectful and ethical TDC is. TDC does not try to teach you tricks to "beat the system". They teach from a perspective of bringing out the best in each person taking these tests. If one stays confident, knows the basics, has some basic critical thinking skills, and follows TDC's advice, it will be difficult not to pass. All during the test I kept hearing Amanda in my head: be confident of your X's, don't go into" maybe" land, move on and don't waste time on any one question, and more.
I felt very well prepared. I have heard people say that there are tricky questions on the exams. I would disagree. The BBS is not trying to trick anyone, rather they are trying to simulate an oral exam by seeing how well you can think and how confident you are. That is a lot like how it is to be a therapist. As therapists, we often are called to quickly make sense of a situation and choose the most legal, ethical, and therapeutic way to proceed. On the test, some of the questions are phrased in a way that at first glance makes them seem complicated. However, by using what I learned from TDC, I was able to quickly identify the right answers.
I used no other test programs, so I really cannot compare. I have heard that other programs overwhelm people with too much information and that this increases test anxiety and undermines confidence. TDC does just the opposite. The program covered just the right amount of material in an enjoyable way. I felt calm and confident during the entire test.
