MFT Exam Prep Reviews
Thank you Amanda and team for the excellent preparation for my MFT Standard Written exam. I passed on my first try!! There was so much riding on my passing this exam. I am leaving my training clinic and wanted to take six of my clients with me. However, I suffered from crippling anxiety due to fear of failure. What if I had to tell my clients we had to wait another six months? It was so stressful. Aside from the excellent study materials that were laid out in a very logical, clear way, I found my multiple coaching sessions with Asya to be what pushed me over the top. She is confident, highly intelligent, knows the content backwards and forwards, responsive, positive, and supportive. I could not have asked for a better coach. I felt like we were a team going through this. On top of this, I had two excellent hypnotherapy sessions with Clare at the advice of Asya. Fantastic! I am so grateful for Asya and TDC. And contrary to what you said, Amanda, I actually did feel like I was passing the exam! Thank you so much. And I love your new video - it gave me goose bumps. Now onto to the Clinical Vignette preparation today.
As a working mom, I found the TDC program to be a great fit for me as I could listen to the audio at my own pace. The test strategies were incredibly helpful and the coaching session I purchased helped lower my anxiety on test day. I sat down at the computer on test day feeling confident!
Each of my colleagues that have used TDC has passed their exams on their first try. I just passed my first exam and now happily credit TDC too! For me, the course is strongest in 3 areas: organization of the learning content, inclusion of audio lectures to help solidify the "how to" approach and rational of each question, and providing concrete tips and tricks for managing exam anxiety.
On 8/7/15 my almost 8 year journey towards licensure was completed when I passed the CVE on the first try! I left the room half laughing/half crying, definitely shaking, as it felt like such a triumph. I used TDC for both exams and passed both on the first try. What I appreciated the most was the way in which the material was organized and structured. It kept me on track with studying. I felt particular gratitude for the study techniques as well that were geared toward keeping anxiety low and helping me to approach the test at my best. Thank you TDC! I will definitely recommend you to others.
For the vignette test, I heard so many recommendations for TDC from many using the material but who hadn't tested yet. I admit, I was skeptical; there was so much audio - and I'm NOT an audio learner! I went ahead and purchased it - I'm very glad I did. For the MFT CV, learning the strategy was much more important than learning all the information ever created, like the other exam prep materials teach. Once I took notes from the audios, I was able to study the notes when I could. If I was washing dishes, I could put on the audio and listen. My fear of the format was ridiculous :) I felt calm, confident, and was not surprised at all when taking the real test last week. The format was just like the TDC program. I did not panic, because in my head, I heard Amanda's voice reasoning some of the answers. Using the frames helped me identify the answers even in the trickiest questions. Following the scheduling format and studying for two weeks helped me pass my MFT CV on the first try! Now I don't have to worry about the test changes - yay! Thank you!!
