MFT Exam Prep Reviews

Lori Gottlieb, MFT

I just got back from Exam #1 and I passed!  I wanted to let you know right away and thank you for your amazing program.  As you know, as a full-time working parent, I had very little time to prepare, and I wanted to find the most efficient way to study in a two-month time frame, given these constraints.   I'm so glad I found you and The Therapist Development Center.  Your audio lectures taught me exactly what I needed to know without overwhelming me with minutia that wasn't covered, and whenever I saw something confusing on the exam, I took a breath and thought, "What would Amanda do and why?  If I were discussing this vignette with Amanda, how would SHE reason this one out?"   This past week, when I had some last-minute questions, Asya was invaluable in providing me with articulate distinctions in the rationales, and I used that knowledge and thought process several times on the test today, too.  

 
The main thing, though, that I think I got from your lectures was a sense of how to think and stay calm during the exam.  Anyone can throw diagnoses, legal requirements, theory terms, etc. at a student.  But you explained all of it in a memorable real-world context that both made sense and was very representative of the actual exam questions.  You also always conveyed a sense of "Don't over-complicate it" and "You know more than you think by having completed your 3000 hours," rather than going into the mode of, "If you don't memorize these million things or take a bajillion full-length practice tests, you won't pass the exam."  You were right:  I didn't need to do any of that.  
 
Thank you so much for helping me pass today!  I'm going to sign up for exam #2 shortly.

I passed the clinical vignette MFT exam on 5/1/13!!!! I was prepared and ready to take it. Once again your study materials were superb and right on track. I especially liked your new online mock 1 & 2 exams. I've submitted my paperwork for licensure. I could not be more excited about being an MFT now!!! Thank you again for both of your study programs!

I passed!!!  Took the MFT Written Exam last week and SUCCESS!!  I studied about 8 weeks and even in the midst of a family emergency (with a father in the hospital due to a serious motorcycle accident) was able to stay focused all thanks to the TDC.  The material had me focused on the material I needed to know, and Amanda's tips on how to study carried me through.  With a marathon like this, I would recommend no other than the TDC for exam prep.  Thanks again!

I would like to say “Thank you” for helping me to pass both MFT exams. Since I failed the written exam with other prep companies, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it through with this process again.  However, your study materials were simple, direct, and touched by your personal support. The mock exams were very similar to the real exam and I was able to pass the first exam with confidence without any other companies' mock exams.

I studied 5 weeks for the 2nd exam (reviewed few times) and I felt confident with your framing technique and guidance. The 2nd exam was much easier for me with your study guide and I was able to answer questions very quickly. I enjoyed listening to your voice while studying and you gave me a great deal of positive energy and encouragement through you voice. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful program and I am very much grateful to found your program. 
 
Thank you again and I couldn't do it without you.

Thanks so much for the wonderful study materials and grounded perspective you provide, I passed my second test! I really appreciate the support I felt from you as I went through this rather stressful process. Your advice and guidance were with me in the test, as I weighed mt answers I could hear Amanda's voice talking me through the questions. Beyond being supportive your advice is ethically and clinically sound and ultimately studying for this test made me a more intelligent clinician, which is the whole point!
