Course Reviews
I felt exhausted and upset on my first attempt at the exam as the study materials I used were nothing like the exam. After reading about TDC and how I would have audio to listen to and that it was good for those with a learning disabilities, I knew I had to try. After the first test with your program I felt confident that I had made the best decision to use your program and felt that it would give me the ability to finally pass this mentally draining exam.... I was right, Thank you and now I'm going to go continue to cry enormous tears of joy and relief!!
I would highly recommend TDC as test prep for the LMFT clinical exam! I previously utilized this program for the Law & Ethics exams and felt very prepared. Due to difficulty with test dates during COVID, I chose a date allowing me 2 months to study and reviewed the program twice. My schedule allowed for Friday-Sunday studying only. Amanda and her team are thorough, and the program is broken into very organized and manageable sections. I very much appreciated and utilized all the test taking strategies- especially insuring I had daily exercise! Although I felt nervous, I also knew I was very prepared after completing this program. The mock-I was very challenging and I’m glad I took that 10 days prior to my date. I took the mock-II, 5 days prior and believe this mock seemed easier because I had thoroughly reviewed my mistakes on the mock I. Overall, I felt very confident during the actual exam, able to manage my time with 20 minutes to review marked questions and even taking a 5-minute break-as Amanda suggests. Thanks again to Amanda and my coach Robin for responding to my emails! The TDC program is very much worth the investment!
Passed of the first try thanks to TDC! Use the strategies and yes you will feel like your failing but just keep going through with what you know based on your study and learned strategies! Read it, grasp it, answer it, and let it go
Loved the organization of the material and the exam tips were genuinely useful (not just "take deep breaths" or "you know this, don't worry"). I used another system in conjunction with TDC simply because of the way I personally learn and comprehend material BUT I can say that TDC was friendlier and I felt genuinely cared about. Responses from the team were detailed and I appreciated the time and effort they gave me. I felt that TDC truly wanted to me to pass. And I did! So thank you!!
TDC really helped me to understand why I was getting questions wrong on the mocks. The rationales provided great insight into the way I should approach eliminating answers and without it, I don’t think I would have passed the exam. The audio format was great for my style of learning!
I loved how easy this program made it for me to study. I felt that I was over-prepared for the exam. Thank you!
I am pleased to report that today I passed my LMFT clinical exam! The exam was challenging, however, TDC's materials prepared me comprehensively with the clinical knowledge I needed to know, the test taking strategies to utilize, and the mindset that enabled me to pass.
I wouldn't have been able to pass without TDC! Truly felt prepared going into the exam. The final mock exams actually felt harder than the actual exam. Highly recommend.
I want to thank TDC for the amazing study material. I was so nervous when I got to the mock tests because I did not score well and I emailed the coaches completely discouraged. The coaches knew exactly what to say. I reviewed the questions I got wrong and went over the topics I needed more support with. I followed exactly what Amanda recommended when it came to sitting for the test. I took my snack and water, took a break at 100 questions and read through exactly what the questions was asking. On 2/14/2021 I passed and become Licensed. I am recommending TDC to everyone.
TDC is excellent. I felt overprepared for the exam, and that's a good place to be! I found the lectures to be very helpful, and honestly I believe going through this course has made me into a first-rate clinician. Thanks Amanda and everyone at TDC!
TDC promised that their program was up-to-date and would over-prepare me for my clinical exam; they delivered! I had little to no anxiety on the exam and had great time management. Amanda knows what she's doing but she stumbles a lot on her explanations. My only suggestion to make this program flawless is for the audio materials to be rerecorded.
I previously used another study material from a very popular agency. I am not a good self-starter with daunting tasks and thus I did not study enough the previous times and didn't even know HOW to study for such a large and important exam. I found TDC's study material to be so helpful and so approachable. I carved out time each day to study and remained engaged during my study sessions. The quick studies made it easy for me to create a study binder to take with me whenever away from my computer. I definitely owe it to TDC and the very logical and approachable study system for helping me pass my clinical exam. Thank you SO much!
TDC was the light in the dark. It allowed information to be shared and retained in various learning styles. Although we are aware that it feels like we are failing , I felt confident in knowing my material and hearing Amanda’s voice all the way through. Without a doubt I would use this prep over and over again.
Thank you for your incredible program! I am so relieved to be on the other side of this long process and am so grateful to have had such a great program to help me prepare. The mock tests helped to get me thinking through a lens that felt very applicable when I took the test. Although I still had feelings of uncertainty going into the exam, the pep talks and encouragement you provided helped me to overcome my worry and focus on my test carefully. So much appreciation and excitement, thank you!

TDC really came through, and I am grateful and relieved to have passed my first time. While knowing the material is necessary, understanding and using the strategies is arguably equally if not more important. Also, managing anxiety is paramount. If you want additional support, even explanations for the mock exam rationales, Robin is great.
I found this course to be very useful. I also utilized a coach through TDC. Asya was wonderful! I recommend her highly. Her knowledge of the material is encyclopedic, she's supportive, kind, encouraging and funny. Thanks TDC!!!
This exam prep was extremely helpful in preparing me for my LMFT clinical exam! The test tips and strategies helped me pass the exam on my first try! I highly recommend it :).
I passed the LMCE on the first try! I focused on the TDC study program and got great results-- if anything I think I may have been over prepared. Highly recommend the program to anyone who likes to learn by doing; the practice tests and rationales were so beneficial to my success. Thank you TDC!
WORTH every penny!! I have testing anxiety and this program NAILED everything to prepare you for the exam. The mock exams are harder in my option than the exam which really helped during the exam. I felt well prepared and confident. I reached out to coach Robin for support and she provided effective strategies for me to conquer and feel confident. I 100% recommend this program!! Thank you Amanda and Robin!
