MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I'm super excited! I took the exam in April which I probably shouldn't have. I had just had a big surgery and even being on all the meds and being extremely anxious, I only missed by 4 points then. I share because the program works and is right on point. Look how close I was then and I didn't answer 12 questions because I ran out of time in April. So my reason for not passing that was my own medical and mental factors. I took the exam again today and passed! I went in completely healed from surgery and completely confident. I had very little anxiety and walked out there completely ready to take another exam! Great program and I think I was overly prepared which is a great feeling!
The Therapist Development Center was incredibly helpful. I found that the program is user friendly, to the point, and accurate. I would highly suggest utilizing their charts to help separate legal, ethical, and legal and ethical. This was most helpful because all the questions are broken down in legal, ethical, and legal and ethical. Had I not spent so much time compartmentalizing which are which, I would have failed the test. The Therapist Development Center helped me stay focus, lean into the test, and really read each word to make sure I was answering the question appropriately. The test is beyond more difficult than I anticipated.
This study program is such a great investment as it really helped to prepare me for what to expect on the exam. The audio lectures were very thorough and provided realistic examples of applying the different theories in session. The mock tests are the best. I was able to quickly identify key words in the stem and use that information to pick the "best" answer amongst the provided options. I felt confident walking in to take the exam, and felt a great sense of accomplishment upon completing the exam because I passed! :)
This material was great. The stories that Amanda told allowed me to visualize myself in the situation. The way she broke down the rationales of the answers on the mock exams were very helpful. I would recommend Therapist Development Center to other interns. Thank you Amanda!!!!!!!!
I am beyond excited to share that I PASSED my clinical exam. I am coming out from battling breast cancer and it left my body pretty battered. I am suffering from some nerve issues in my left arm and the pain can be intense. I was afraid for a pain flare up during the exam, but managing my anxiety helped me to keep calm, plus pain pills also helped. It has been an incredible year of physical pain, finalizing my dream of becoming a licensed therapist is not what I expected. At times, I felt that I did not believe in myself, but I became determined once BBS said "you have until December 2017 to take the exam or we will consider your application abandoned." I really interpreted that as the final chance, although I learned later that there is some flexibility there. After my cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgeries, and when even my friends and family were deterring me from continuing, Amanda's encouraging words were the only light in my dark world of perseverance. It was myself and Amanda against the world. Every day I study a little bit and towards the end, it was real dedication, spending more time reviewing that helped me feel a little more sure of my skills. During the exam, I managed my anxiety by holding my hands and visualizing keeping it together; breathing. I took a little bit long with some long vignettes and when I looked at the clock, I was determined to close the gap by going through questions faster. This helped me to get more questions right, instead of overthinking it. Once I determined that I had caught up to the clock, then I felt more confident to take a break. I did not eat, but I did go to the bathroom. In the end, I had five minutes to spare, I looked at the marked questions and finished to read the "CONGRATULATIONS" on the letter they handed me. It was a cosmic moment, better than anything I have experienced in my entire life. I am a new person, I am a LMFT, not that it defines me, but it will mark a new era in my life. THANK YOU!
