Course Reviews
I love the audio format. This format really works for my learning style and as a busy person being able to bring them with me totally saved me. I really do wish they were available offline, maybe in an app? I really appreciate this program.
After taking both TDC final mock exams I was anxious, even though I passed both, but barely, But once I got to the actual exam and started answering questions I felt much more relaxed and confident as I started working my way through the exam. And, even though some questions were confusing, I felt a growing sense of confidence that I was working my way through the exam efficiently and answering questions correctly.
I just took the LMFT Clinical Exam and PASSED on first try!!! Such a relief and I am so glad I chose TDC because it was very easy to navigate and so structured providing a study plan. I love it that it was specific and straight to the point and did not provide whole bunch of information that is not needed. I followed their study plan and found it so helpful and did all the steps twice for 3 months. I would definitely recommend TDC because I believe it prepared me so well before the exam that I passed on my first try! Thanks TDC :)
I've told all my fellow associates to get TDC as it does a phenomenal job preparing you for the exam! As I was taking the actual exam I thought, "Boy, this is easier than either of those last two TDC mock exams were!"
I highly recommend TDC to our helping professional community seeking licensure. I was able to go at my pace and be able to refresh on skills and knowledge that I needed reminding of. The tips in the study center were very helpful and prepared me to go into the test confident. Thank you Amanda and team for your ongoing commitment to our community!
Outstanding program!
Trust the program. I was nervous because I felt like I knew the material but the quizzes and tests didnt know that I scored below 70 on the quizzes and below 58 on Mock1 67 on Mock1 but I trusted what the program said. One of the things that helped me during the exam was remembering that I would probably have moments of feeling like I had no clue what I was doing or if I was going to pass but I remembered that the ambivalence was normal. I followed the suggestions, lean in, breathe, eliminate two, which of the last two cover everything in the stem?, pick one and move on. Just trust the process and remain calm!!! Thank you TDC
I passed! I got TDC earlier this year and used it for the Law and Ethics Exam and after passing it, I purchased the study package for the clinical exam. What a journey this has been for me and my family. TDC prepares you to the fullest! Listen to Amanda and all that she tells you....remember to not step foot into the "maybe-land." Stay focused and know that you can do it!
Was nervous to take my exam however once I was there I felt over prepared and finished 30 minutes early. Thanks TDC!
This program is amazing! I am all about organization and structure and this program is all about that. I like how it is set up into into different categories and steps that you check off as you complete them. It is true when they say is set to over prepare you for the actual exam. You will not feel over prepared when taking the final mock exams, but once you are taking the real exam you will be relieved. Thanks TDC!
In retrospect I can see how well the course prepared men to sail through the "dreaded exam".
Can't imagine taking the test with out this preparation!
This is an amazing program. I truly believe that it is the reason I was able to take and pass this exam. I am a very anxious test taker and have had a very hard time with testing in the past. This program not only solidifies your knowledge of the material necessary, but it truly prepares you for the actual test taking. The mock exams are extremely hard (I didn't do particularly well on any of them--so don't get discouraged!), but I believe taking the mocks, reviewing the rationales, learning from them, and applying what I learned to the next mock is the reason I PASSED!!! I felt comfortable with the process of reading these questions and managing my time during a 4 hour exam. I also cannot say enough good things about the coaches, they respond quickly and are so encouraging. Thank you so much!!!
TDC is the only thing I used to study. I felt prepared and passed the test on the first try. I have historically had really bad anxiety around test taking, and this program helped me review the material and develop the mindset necessary for success!
This study package will certainly over-prepare you for the exam. You will be ready to pass. I found it helpful to go through the material 2x, once thoroughly (taking notes, pausing, reviewing) and the second time listening throughout the days leading up to the exam (in the car, while doing other things, etc). I found the audio reviews for the practice tests most helpful for exam. The coaches are extremely helpful, ask them your questions.
I am very satisfied with the TDC course for the CA clinical exam. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone taking the exam. I felt very prepared, if not over-prepared which is better than the alternative. I cannot thank TDC enough, especially Robin who coached me through this exam as well as the National Exam that I recently passed. Thank you for it all!
I loved the way this course trained me to think about the material. I had a meltdown during and after taking the mock exams, but I felt totally prepared on the day of the exam. I am thrilled that I passed on my first attempt, and I'm ecstatic that I am now a licensed marriage and family therapist. Thank you, TDC! I will recommend this course to all of my therapist friends who are preparing for their exam.
I felt really prepared and confident when I completed my exam. I appreciated being able to reach out to a coach to help me with a time management timeline. I would recommend this program to everyone. Thank you!
I really like the way that this program is set up. All the people that I know are using this system.
I used TDC and it helped me in every way to pass my exam today! Thank you! It feels so great to be done with this long hard journey! Cheers TDC family..
