MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I can't thank you enough TDC for helping me pass the exam. I had taken it twice in the past and missed it both times by 4 points. The company I used, just didn't teach the strategies that are imperative to pass the Clinical Vignette Exam. The frames helped me tremendously, and your scoring system is far superior than theirs. I was pretty certain half way through the test that I was passing. Your program is truly the best!
I went with TDC because every one of my friends/classmates who used this system ended up passing on the first try. I felt prepared for the exam and was grateful for the extra coaching session I did with Asya before hand. I did not find it necessary to use any of the other testing companies. That being said, it is important to study and to know everything that TDC outlines as it really is all of the necessary information and nothing more. Thank you!
I’m so thankful for The Therapist Development Center. The SWE prep materials gave me the confidence to walk into the testing center knowing that I had the skills and knowledge to pass. With this being such a big career milestone I didn’t want to entrust my study time to just any program. Through lots of research I found TDC and am so thankful I did. TDC was absolutely the right choice to trust this big phase of my career with; they were efficient, knowledgeable, and spot on in their study methods. Before I took the exam I poured over these testimonials dreaming of the day I would be able to write mine, and I’m glad to say I passed on my first attempt and here I am sharing with others how wonderful this program is! Don’t even consider other prep courses, I’ll be recommending this exam prep for all my colleagues who are soon to take their exams! Thanks again Amanda and team! I can’t believe I’m actually excited to start round two and begin studying for the Clinical Vignette Exam!
The first time I took the SWE, I failed. I had used the Grossman material and felt like I was learning how to memorize test questions, but lacking in an understanding of the fundamental concepts that I needed to know. A friend of mine, who also failed her SWE after using AATBS shared that she had purchased the TDC program. I tried it and passed the SWE the next time I took it! I immediately purchased the CVE but as life does, things got busy with kids and work etc. and I put the CVE off, for a few months.
Although I did use TDC I failed the CVE the first time by 1 point. I knew why however, not enough focus or time spend on studying the material. I actually skipped the entire legal/ethical section of the TDC material because I felt so competent in this area, when in fact my scores showed this is where I really did not do well on the test. Devastated but forging forward and using the failure (#2) as a learning tool I approached my studying very differently for my retest. I told my family what I needed and said NO to anything that was not necessary for 3-weeks. I listened and re-listened to Amanda's lectures, talked with other therapists about it and read it aloud daily. I took the test, and I passed. My career as a therapist has been a long journey. Thank you for your approach, TDC. I am a better therapist and also a better professor in my college classes now due to the familiarity with the concepts, theories, interventions, etc. that your program reacquainted me with!
I took all the advice of eating well, exercising and having a life. Of course a lot of spiritual exercises too. I did take a break in between the test. I did do some practice tests offered by other providers too as I had them. But I really liked your approach, the handouts and the audios. The test was hard and all throughout I was wondering if I would pass, but I used all the logic, reasoning and your advice to select an answer. I was tempted to go back and check some answers but resisted the temptation. Thank you once again.
