MFT Exam Prep Reviews

Leonor G. Chairez, MFT

I am still in shock that I PASSED the vignette test. It took me twice to realize that the other study materials weren't for me. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU for this alternative way to study for licensure.

I found this program extremely helpful getting ready for the exam. I went through two times, and I found all the information about how to think about the questions, the exam and ideas for exam day to be really great. I have recommended this study system to all of my friends! I hope to have the same success on my second exam!

I PASSED!! This program gave me the foundation and training needed to be able to use rationale to pass the exam. The final mock exam was the same format as the real exam and so the familiarity increased my possibility of passing as well. I recommend not using the program until you are approved to take the exam (the program recommends this as well). I made the mistake of purchasing it months in advance and was not motivated to study and when I did, it wasn't on a consistent basis and I needed to start over again. Also, *everything* Amanda recommends is key to passing. During the exam, I personally found that taking a break every 50 questions to drink juice was helpful and at question 100, I took a bathroom break, drank juice, and ate a banana. I also wore ear plugs that the facility provided and at home, I oftentimes took the exams with ear plugs so it helped to create a similar testing environment to my benefit.

This exam really is like a marathon and the proper preparation is essential to success. I want to stress again that everything Amanda recommends to succeed is essential to your passing the exam. I scored only 71% on the final mock, which I took a few days before the real exam and that was after 6 hours of studying and working on the computer, which was a mistake. Because after that, I had to take 2 days off before the exam and go out in nature to heal my burn out-- my mind literally seemed to stop working. During that time I did not study whatsoever. And before the real exam, I only reviewed for 1 hour so that I would feel refreshed. This worked for me only because I overdid the studying without having enough balance in life. Life circumstances can get in the way of studying routines, so be prepared to postpone if need be. I chose to cram so that I could still make my Hawaii vacation I have planned after I pass my vignette exam! Good luck to all of you!

Thank you for enhancing my critical thinking skills with your study material. The organization/lectures/practice test provided the information/skills needed to pass the exam.  I appreciate the materials provided were concise and manageable.  I was prepared for the feeling of not passing during the exam, which I experienced. I also took the 5 min break which was hard to do in real time but I know made all the difference.

I took the MFT SWE yesterday and passed - thanks to the Therapist Development Center and Amanda Rowan. The TDC study materials are comprehensive and straight forward; while the insightful rationale discussions pull the material together with clarity and real world application. However, the real gem of your program is your overall approach to exam preparation. Your guidance in preparing myself for exam day was quite possibly the key to my passing the exam the first time I took it. Thanks to your program, I was not only equipped with the knowledge to answer the questions on the exam, but moreover, I was prepared to successfully navigate the experience of taking the exam. Thank you.
