MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I know I would not have studied everything that was in this program if I’d just tired to study on my own. This program showed me where I was weak, so I could concentrate on those areas. I loved the organization and the ease of using this program. I had to concentrate it into six weeks, but I could see the value of taking longer and going through the material more than once.
The strategies shared about how to frame the questions and to eliminate answers, plus the practice exams and explanations, helped so much in preparing for the MFT clinical exam. In addition, it was so helpful to have all the information we need to know consolidated in one place, plus a structured program within which to study it.
I had taken the LMFT clinical exam last year and used Gerry Grossman's study material and I did not pass the exam by 7 points. There were many questions on this exam that I was unable to answer (i.e. reality theory, self-psychology, etc.) because Gerry Grossman does not provide study material for additional theories. My friend told me about TDC, so I figured I give it a try. I like how the speaker puts everything into perspective by giving real life examples. Plus, the material is structured and easy to study. The TDC mock exam was very similar to the actual exam since the LMFT exam phrased things like "What action step would a therapist take?" compared to Gerry Grossman mock exams, which most of the treatment questions had a specific theory. The LMFT exam only had about 13-15 questions related to a specific theory while the rest of the treatment questions asked "what a systems therapist would do?" I felt more prepared this time around to take the LMFT exam after using TDC study material.
I used TDC for both my Law and Ethics and Clinical exam. I loved having both the audio and worksheets to use. I was over prepared for both the exams and passed on my first attempt both times. Thank you so much!!
Without TDC I never would have passed the LMFT Clinical Exam on my first attempt... or my second or third. This is a tough exam. As many can probably attest to, the BBS dragged their feet and made me jump through hoops to approve my hours, and TDC graciously extended their services three times to accommodate the bureaucracy. By the time I asked for my third extension, I jokingly wrote to Lindsay that I wish I'd discovered this program before I wasted so much money on grad school. In all seriousness, this program not only covers everything you need to know, but also provides many opportunities - practices quizzes, rationales, tests, DSM comparisons - to practice what you learn along the way. I believe that if you put the time in and follow their suggestions, you will feel as grateful as I do today.
