MFT Exam Prep Reviews

I loved this study program and am thankful someone recommended it to me. TDC's style really worked for the way I learned. They broke it down very simply and efficiently. The practice questions are like the ones on the exam. If you take the time to truly understand the rationales after every practice test and the mock you WILL pass. I can't wait to take the second exam.

I have a lot of good things to say. What helped me the most at the actual exam was the super answer. I often was able to narrow it down to two answers and but one of them didn't have a super answer or only one not two super answers. I was still shocked how difficult the exam was. Even though I knew the topics in question, the answer options were so strange that about 80% of the time I wasn't sure. I marked about 11 questions and in the end only changed 1. What really made the difference were Amanda's strategies, not the content knowledge. The coaches Asya and Robin were awesome. 

I think your system is really great. I had a lot of anxiety about the exam and studying with my 18 month old daughter around. The reason it was so great for me was because it was broken down into manageable chunks. When my daughter went down for a nap, I was able to hop onto my computer and pump out an hour or two of really productive studying while she slept. One thing I would say is that I made flashcards to augment my studying with this program. While I was listening to the lectures, if something was new to me or seemed particularly important, I would make a flashcard. Then, after my daughter went to bed, I could review the flashcards. I also did a lot of reviewing the flashcards in the days before the exam. This really helped drill the information into me and curb my anxiety. Since I have a learning disability, this was an essential piece for me. The section with keywords of theories really benefited from making flashcards. AND YES, I totally DID NOT KNOW whether I was passing or failing the whole way through the exam. What a relief when I finally hit the button and it said I passed! Thank you! I hope it goes that well the second time. Oh! One other thing! During the exam, I was so nervous at the beginning that I could not manage reading through the tutorial system the test center provided. I would encourage you to tell other students about the "marking system" I wrote down the numbers of questions I had trouble with instead and that was OK, but I should have used the computer system. I also did really well on my mock exams on timing but when I took the real thing, I only had a few minutes to go over the questions I had marked. Maybe that was partially because the bathroom was so far away :), but still that was a surprise for me and I was very stressed to finish towards the end!

The TDC method is well organized, and broken down into steps that are very easy to follow. Compared to other programs, from first glance, I was sold on Amanda's youtube explanation, as well as the website interface. Clicking "Complete" was one of the highlights of my study! I don't know why I procastinated on studying for  so long given how "fun" it was to prepare for the exam. WIth TDC, I felt that preparing for 2 weeks was sufficient, as everything is clear, and once you get the ball rolling, you're at full speed. I put a lot of time to memorizing, but realized that the most important part was to learn how to think and take the test. Thanks, TDC!
