MFT Exam Prep Reviews
I have been studying lightly for a year due to waiting for the BBS to approve my hours. TDC was wonderful in extending my purchase. The past 5 weeks I studied 4-5 days a week, exercising 5 days a week, and listening to the audio consistently. When I completed all tests, I did a review as suggested by Amanda. I will say, I did poorly on each of the first rounds of tests and then reviewed and did well. I got sick two weeks before and changed my date. I still was not well the day of the test, however, I did not give up. The final mock test, I did bad because of being sick. However, I immersed myself in reviewing the diagnoses and theories for the last 48 hours prior to taking the test. All I can say, is I passed. I have no idea the score. At no time during the test, did I feel as though I were failing or winning. At one point (about half way through) I thought it was too easy and I started freaking out thinking something was wrong. I took a break, fueled up, and decided nothing was wrong! I did not use any other program or outside help. TDC rocks! Amanda, you were in there with me. I also bookmarked 18 questions. Had 20 minutes left. And only changed 5 that I felt I had the 'a-ha' moment, just as you suggested! Thank you so much.
The anxiety and worry were difficult to control. However, trusting the process is key. Part of that process being (like Amanda said) that you do not feel like you are passing during the test and to accept that discomfort. A combination of time management skills as well as a solid grasp of theoretical interventions were key for passing the test. Also the state dependent learning, which were rituals that were not only helpful, but relaxing as well (lavender oil on the temples and chest; peppermint oil on the lower back). Thank you TDC, thank you Amanda and thank you to all the "behind the scenes" individuals who make this study program possible.
A big shoutout and thank you to Amanda at TDC! I passed the LMFT clinical exam on my first attempt and felt extremely prepared to “attack” the exam after completing the program one time.
I passed exam after failing it 4x's! Originally, I worried that TDC didn't provide enough practice test but I was wrong. I'd encourage anyone who is struggling to pass the LMFT exam, to trust the philosophy and strategies of TDC. I also invested in a TDC coach a few weeks before the exam because I struggle with test anxiety and moments of shear panic of failure. The coach changed my life. I was able to stop over thinking, which reduced anxiety during the entire exam! I believe this was instrumental in why I passes the exam. Lastly, I followed the TDC curriculum 3x's before I took the LMFT exam. Thank you TDC, this is the only study program I recommend. I spent over 2000k on other study programs, lured by the offer of lots of practice test but don't do it! Trust TDC, and if you can, private coaching. You only want to take this exam once! Trust me.
After many false starts, I finally dealt with my anxiety and scheduled a firm date for the clinical exam. I took Amanda's voice with me in the exam room and "talked" through each and every question, as if Amanda was right next to me. I engaged with the question as well as the answer stem, and I was able to eliminate wrong answers. This has been a long journey and I am so grateful for the ENTIRE TDC team! Thank you so much and I will see you in the land of "Licensed" Marriage and Family Therapists!!!
