MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I passed my L&E today!! I studied with TDC. The questions were written exactly like the mocks. I felt really prepared and confident. I took a full 7 weeks to study, which I probably didn't need to do. I took all the mock exams and scored in the mid to high 70s, then I took the final mocks and scored low 70s. I should have stopped then but was afraid because my score went down, so I took a Gerry Grossman test! Bad idea--completely different format and I didn't do well (68) and my confidence went down. But after a couple pep-talks with people who had passed and failed, I evaluated my test weaknesses (anxiety and distractions) and created strategies for overcoming the stress that would help me focus. Then I redid the first three mocks and scored crazy high (95), listened to the rationales and knew I was ready and could not prepare any more than I had already. And as recommended as a tool to reduce stress, I got to the testing site more than an hour early and had time to check out the sign-in procedures and see everything ahead of time. Then I did some relaxed breathing and listened to a pre-exam hypnosis I found on YouTube, which focused on motivation, enthusiasm, preparedness, and enjoying exams. When finished with that, I ate a small snack, went to the bathroom and checked into the exam feeling very alert and motivated. During the test I continued to feel confident and when reading a question whose answer didn't come logically, I assumed it was a question that didn't count and spent little time on it (I was finding myself being critical of the writing style and thinking of what was missing--that is when I said 'don't worry' and moved on). I finished with 2 minutes to spare, which was perfect planning as I was ready to turn it over to my higher power as I waited for them to tell me I passed (actually they don't tell you, they hand you a sheet of paper that tells you the news).
This program really fit my style of study. I found the practice exams the most helpful and I'm glad that an extra mock was added. I'm also glad they were updated because there were a few exam questions on the mock that I had on my exam. Overall, I felt really confident going into the exam and I'm feeling even more confident and excited to pass the second exam using this same program. Thank you!
I found the support from TDC staff (Robin) before I began studying, while I was studying and had questions and after taking the exam, were extremely supportive. I had used another study program that did not work as well as this audio design. I found that the audio component worked exceedingly well. I also appreciated the explanation of how to think about the exam, how to prepare and how to be in the examination room during the actual exam. The study outline made the 4 week study plan efficient. TDC seemed more personal and interactive. My colleagues highly recommended TDC and I would highly recommend it as well. Thank you so much!
I used TDC with both exams and PASSED the first time! TDC covered everything I needed to know for the actual exams.
The program you offer was of great help to me as an out-of-state counselor who had been out of CA for 12 years and needed to catch up with new laws and ethics concerning our profession. I feel very confident I am a far better psychotherapist after studying and passing this test! Thanks Amanda....and Asya for all your support!
