Course Reviews
TDC was essential in passing this exam! This program really helps you learn how to navigate the exam to decipher what the questions are really asking. Most importantly, the strategies help manage anxiety, especially when it is hard to determine the correct answer. I'd recommend following the schedule and make sure to take the Final Mocks with plenty of time to review. Thank you, TDC!
TDC was extremely helpful. The mock exams were discouraging because they were so difficult, but it truly helped me prepare for the actual exam. The content of the questions were very similar to the actual exam. Recordings and justification were clear and understandable. Topics were thorough, so you are able to review information you probably haven't seen from graduate school.
**If you feel you are not scoring well on the mock exams, don't worry! Keep reviewing and listen to rationales to better understand how the exam is testing you.
This was my second time using TDC and taking the LMFT clinical exam. The first time I took the LMFT exam in 2020, I did not complete the mocks, was really stressed with work/life, and did not follow the study plan as recommended. The second time around I buckled down, listened to every recording at least 2 times, tried to take as many mocks and quizzes as I could. I also reviewed every single question that I got wrong, took notes, and used all the tips and study strategies suggested. I really wish I would have done this the first time around, but I didn't. However, I did the 2nd time and gratefully I passed! The 2nd time was so much easier and I felt so much more confident. I felt slightly more anxious only because I didn't pass the 1st time, but that is expected, right? I was also really worried that TDC wouldn't have everything that I need for the new 2021 LMFT requirements, but it did have everything and even more. Less law and ethics questions on the actual exam because of the new outline of course. During the exam, I actually felt over-prepared especially for theories, human diversity issues, and treatment planning. My strongest suggestion is to follow a study plan, reduce your work/life stress, eat healthily, meditate/deep breathing, and do the mocks they really do get you prepared! Good Luck!
I was nervous going into the clinical exam due to the changes placed by the BBS. I only used TDC and listened to the new audio and felt more than prepared! I used the same concepts and problem-solving strategies and passed! I felt confident going in and supported!
TDC helped me feel confident and ready to pass this exam. Don't get me wrong, this exam is a BEAST to get through. Endurance and positive self-talk were instrumental. Within our field, we truly learn to internalize the voices of our supervisors. We carry them with us into the room with clients. They become part of our inner talk. Amanda did an AMAZING job with these lectures. By the time I finished the program and sat for licensure, I felt that she was truly with me in the testing room. It was so comforting! The strategies you learn in this program are so key in passing this exam. Thank you TDC for giving me the confidence to attack this exam and become a LICENSED Marriage and Family Therapist!
I utilized the TDC courses and mock tests for 21 consecutive days for 1-2 hours each night + the three 4 hour mock exams, and I was more than prepared for this exam.
TDC prepared me 100% for the exam!Loved the study plan/schedule,the audio lectures and the mock exams which really prepared me for the actual exam!TDC coaches are there to help and are super responsive!
Thanks again TDC for helping me pass!
I felt confident and prepared for my test because of the material in TDC. Not only did it cover everything on the test, but it also helped me to navigate how to take it. The rationales were incredibly helpful and the mock exams were very similar to the actual test. I also enjoyed the process of studying because of the program!
In signing up for my exam, I gave myself 3 months to study for this exam. TDC sets you up for success right off the bat with their audios on "How to Study" and "Get Organized", making it easy to stay on track. I found myself to be motivated to study because of the amount of material that would be covered and how much I felt like I retained. You are guided through the study materials with facts and great examples that stick with you during the exam. The mock exams are difficult and can get you down if you let them, but they really set you up to be confident during the actual exam as there were no surprises. I felt like the questions on the clinical exam were much easier than the mock exams. I knew exactly what to expect. Thank you TDC for your great study program!
I was a little nervous going into my clinical MFT test, knowing that the test had a new format. I'm happy to say that I was more than adequately prepared by TDC to take this test. I knew how to assess for what the question was asking, and could narrow down answers based on the knowledge that TDC had given me. All of the information I learned, I used in my test. I'm very happy to report that I passed my test and now am licensed! Thank you to TDC, Amanda, and the rest of the coaches for preparing me and giving me the confidence to pass this hurdle!
TDC left me prepared for the MFT Clinical. Top-notch!
I passed my LMFT Clinical using TDC on the first try! I have severe testing anxiety, and preparing for an exam during a worldwide pandemic was not easy. I feel TDC prepared me for the mind game that is the LMFT Clinical! I felt prepared for the layout, fears and worries, and monumental nature of the exam. I knew how to read the vignettes and tease out exactly what the question is asking for. I really feel TDC allowed me to pass!
One thing that set TDC apart from some of the other exam prep courses or study materials I used was that I found myself actually enjoying learning the material. The morning of the exam I was able to say to myself, "regardless of what happens today, you have learned a ton in your test prep" (which I think is the point). Luckily I passed on my first try; which felt great!
TDC was AMAZING! I have never in my life used a test prep program, so I had no idea what to expect. I went with TDC because everyone says it's the best and I am SO grateful I did. This is a very thorough, but digestible and very manageable program. I loved the lectures because I do better with listening, but I also really loved and appreciated the supplemental write-ups.
Amanda is so thorough. By test day, I felt like we were friends! I definitely had her in my head during the exam and it was so helpful. The best thing about this program is it teaches test-taking strategies that will lead to your success, but it also provides refreshers and even teaches new things I didn't know.
I didn't even feel nervous going into the exam because I felt so prepared. I was a little uncertain about the 2021 changes to the test since I didn't have much time to prepare, but it was totally fine. Everything you need to know is in the strategies. This was 100% worth the investment. Thank you Amanda!!!
Tdc is VERY thorough! I felt stressed at times because I didn’t follow the program exactly how it’s recommended but honestly I still felt over prepared by the time I sat for the test.
Excellent study guide that was extremely helpful in me passing the exam for LMFT. I highly recommend Asya for any additional support /couching needed to assist in the passing of this exam.
I highly recommend TDC!! TDC reviews all of the critical information required to pass the exam. TDC made it possible for me to retain critical information to pass the exam. I am very pleased with TCD and I am so happy I passed the LMFT Clinical Exam!! To Amanda and the TDC Family, I did it!! I did it!! Thank you so much!!- Richard M.
TRUST IN TDC AND AMANDA!! The program is so helpful and the strategies are everything! When my anxiety would get high, I had Amanda’s voice in my head to help me stay calm and on track! Thanks TDC!
Thank you TDC community for your support and well thought out program.
I really appreciate all the effort that TDC put into their materials and their continued efforts to improve their program. Thank you for helping me feel confident I could pass this exam!
