MFT Exam Prep Reviews

Jean Lampert, MFT

Another success! On Friday morning, I took and passed my CV exam! I used only TDC study materials, and did extremely well on all the individual quizzes and on the mock exam, so I felt confident going into the exam on Friday morning.

Throughout the exam, I implemented your strategies. I knew about half-way through that I would pass the exam, even if I got all the marked ones and a few others wrong. You definitely provided strategies to help me understand the material, as well as manage my anxiety during the process.

So, anyway, THANK YOU. I used only your materials for both exams (except for one AATBS mock exam for the standard exam which completely confused me) and feel lucky to have found you. Because of your program, I got through the licensing process very quickly, as I took the first exam in the end of October and this one in mid-December. I was able to study at my own pace and not have to set aside Saturdays and be on a time schedule of the the other companies. Thanks again, and I will be sure to send (more) colleagues your way!

I wanted to send you an email to let you know that I passed the clinical vignette. I can not even begin to express how grateful I am to you and the material that you provided. I had failed the exam twice, each time receiving a score of 19. I had used AATBS both times and then CAMFT suggested your material. Your material changed my attitude about the test and about myself as a professional clinician. I had the ah hah moment that this exam/BBS needs to know that I am safe to practice on my own and that it my job to show that I am. Your material confirmed what I already knew about the basics and helped me to apply them in a relevant and useful way on the exam. Thank you so much!

Wanted to let you know I took the MFT exam on Dec. 20th and I passed!!! I found this program extremely helpful. I initially took another program and was left feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. I got a 72% on the other company's mock exam and only missed 4 on yours. I will continue to recommend your program. Thanks so much!!

Following a less than satisfactory experience studying for the MFT CV exam with another company a friend told me about TDC.  After studying for just one month I went into the exam feeling very confident and prepared knowing I would pass.  TDC teaches you very effective strategies for passing this initially confusing exam while giving you only the information you really need to pass the exam without jamming your head full of every fact related to the subject of counseling psychology.  On top of all this it is a great deal as well; for a price that is comparable to purchasing one smaller part of the larger companies prgrams you get a well rounded program of workshops, materials, exercises, a mock and excellent customer service/assistance. I would give TDC my highest recommendation.

Hi TDC,
          As you know from my phone message,  I passed the CVE exam last Friday 12/28/12.  This makes for a great way to start the new year.   I am so relieved and grateful.  Thank you for the great good fortune of coming along and creating your amazing break through course.  I had studied with another test prep service for a while and just knew I was not ready to take the first test.  Even my test coach agreed that I was not quite prepared.  When I heard from others around me that they had failed the first time and passed after the TDC training I sought you out.
           I am amazed that I passed both tests on the first try.  I am not entirely sure how I managed to do this but I am sure of what I learned that helped immensely.  First, the TDC made it very clear why this test was created and what it's objectives are.  That focused me so that I began studying the material and sample test questions in a way that prepared me for the real test.  When I took the real test it made sense to me except for the hardest questions.  Even then I had a sense of what the intent of the test really is and a method of finding the best answer that was like a compass and a seat belt to carry me, even when I could not be sure I had the right answer.
            The TDC’s clear explanation of the purpose of these tests  was combined with a respect for the logic and sensibility of the test questions  themselves and why an answer was correct or best. As a result, I was able to work with the test, not fight it.  And, since I was provided with an accurate and clear understanding of the logic of how the test "thinks" I was fairly at home with the actual test even though the questions were new to me.
           One of the best things that the TDC course has, that cracked the code for me on answering these types of multiple choice questions, is the way the audio presentations work. They demonstrated the test reasoning by reasoning out loud  through each practice question and how they arrived at the right answers.   In addition they focused the recommended study to things that were most relevant to the central purpose of this test.  As a result I began to have a sense that I was ready to attempt to pass the tests which I did not have before.
             Finally, I feel good about the test process.  I see now that it is a way to prepare therapists to keep the public as safe as possible and to protect the public welfare and wellness.  I am grateful to feel that I have a solid start as a competent therapist  that can be counted on;  and I see skills and knowledge that I am going to need to continue to update and be responsible for  all my life as a therapist.   The course has enabled me to put the finishing touches on making a good start as a licensed MFT.   I believe the TDC course turns the exam process, coming at the end of years of training and experience working with those we serve, into a final phase of fostering the best possible therapists.   I know that is what the BBS wants and I know that is what I and all the wonderful people I meet in this field want.  So, thank you, TDC!  And may your Therapist Development Center prosper.
