MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I walked into the testing center feeling confident and ready! As I read the first vignette and question, anxiety washed over me and I was worried. Then, I looked at the frames I had written down before starting and heard Amanda's voice in my head, "Use your frames!" I took a couple of deep breaths, framed the question as taught in the TDC program, and I was back to my mantra, 'I've got this!' I finished in 83 minutes and was able to go over the eight questions I had marked. I didn't change my answers and clicked end with ten minutes to spare :). I PASSED!!! First try and I am so grateful for the tools I learned in this program. Thank you so much, TDC! Way to share your insight and knowledge with the rest of us :).
I first ordered GG materials because I was familiar with the name. I found all the material overwhelming and the taped lectures tedious and OLD (making reference to DSM 3). Frustrated and seeing so many people discussing their success with TDC I sucked up the additional cost and gave TDC a try. So happy that I did. I found the flow of the TDC materials extremely reasonable, the level of detail not to deep and not to shallow. The final pep talk really helped me. I listened to twice, the 2nd time, just before I went to take the test. Thank you.
I purchased the package for both exams on the advice on the advice of a friend who had failed the CVE a few times with another study program and finally passed with your program. I found the handouts, lectures and practice exams to be very helpful. The advice for how to take the exam helped easy my anxiety. Against my best judgment I also purchased a few mock exams from another company who I will not name and found that that gave me major anxiety and I barely passed only one of the 3 I had purchased. I took the final mock exam with your program and felt so much better and I passed with flying colors. I went into the actual test with your voice in my head and it helped give me more confidence. I went through the exam not necessarily feeling like I was passing but I also didn't have an overwhelming sense that I was failing. Needless to say I almost cried when I saw that I had passed... THANK YOU!
So grateful to all the TDC folks for a streamlined, systematic, and non-overwhelming program, and especially for all of the crucially important tips about how to study, how to approach the test etc. The test is an ordeal, no doubt about it, but what I absorbed from TDC made it less of one. Thanks again!
I just want to say that TDC was the best thing that ever happened to me! I took the exam once before this past March using Gerry Grossman and I failed by 3 points. When I took it last time I felt like I was taking a completely different exam then I had studied for! I was lost on almost every question, had no idea what it was asking and had no idea what the answers were even saying. No clue! Not to mention that I was skimming and rushing through the whole entire exam.
This time from the very first workshop in TDC I felt I was going to pass. TDC has such a way of making me feel reassured and confident in myself and I knew I would pass (still felt nervous of course) but felt really good about all of the strategies. The frames and the little tips regarding different buzz words etc were the most helpful part for me! I love that TDC is very simple and to the point! GG had way to much material and detail which I feel boxed me in and didn't allow me to think generally during the exam the first time. I could go on and on about TDC and what a god send it was for me but I will leave it at thank you so much TDC for helping me pass the CVE!
