Course Reviews
Thank you!!
The TDC courses absolutely prepared and empowered me to pass both the MFT Law and Ethics and Clinical exams. Thank you Amanda for creating this resource! Thank you to Asya for answering some content questions! AND A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ROBIN GLUCK who spoke with me the week before my exam and emailed me and encouraged me!!! That was amazing! I am filled with gratitude!
I’m super grateful for the TDC program in preparing me for my clinical exam. I took my time in studying and felt prepared to complete this exam and did so the first time with a passing score. Thank you!
TDC and the preparation for the exam which it provided me, is without a doubt the only reason I passed on the first attempt. The ability to navigate the questions, identify the stem and apply the key terms provided the modality for a successful exam. Learning "How" to take the exam and apply the learned principles is without a doubt the only way to approach and pass this exam. I can not thank TDC enough for providing me with the tools necessary for obtaining my LMFT license. I will be touting this program to everyone I can, so that they too can experience the elation of walking out of the test center with a "PASSED" across their results sheet.
So I scheduled the test giving myself 4 weeks to study, and I wasn’t doing well on the Grossman mock exams- so I panicked 2 weeks to the test & bought the TDC material to help me prep. And all I can say is thank you sooo much Amanda, Robin and Aysa! Your voices were with me throughout the test. Your strategies are what helped me pushed through the last 40 Q’s of the test when I hit testing fatigue. I ended up taking 2 mini breaks during my test, and had 15min left to review and I kept hearing Amanda tips specifically the “aha” moment to remind me go with my gut and don’t change answers. Thanks to the coaches I reminded to read the Q first and then read the steam. I am truly grateful for them! This program was awesome! I passed my first time all thanks to TDC! ❤️
My firs language is Spanish the program was simple enough to understand and comprehend the concepts. Thank you so much! The rest God grant me the ability to recall all the information I needed to know.
Thank you for all of your support with learning materials and confidence boosters. Listening to Amanda review the mock exam rationales was most helpful for me.
I am a mom of a 17 month old so had to stop for a year and then restart studying process...TDC extended the course for me and I found it to be extremely helpful for preparing me for the exam. I passed the first try! I did not have full days to study because of being a mom...I did a little each day I could and got through TDC once and listened to theories twice ...it really was a perfect prep course !!! Thank you so much TDC
if anything, I was overprepared! the real exam seemed easy after completing the study program and the mock exams. most of all, I felt prepared psychologically; that was really important, because it takes a certain mindset to keep plowing through the questions while probably getting a lot of them wrong. I went into the exam room with confidence, and came out with the result I wanted!
The program is great. It felt like a lot at the beggining but once I trusted the process and follow through the mocks and final mock it was much clear how to put everything together and understand HOW to think in the test.
Thank you from my heart
I think TDC does a great job of covering everything. Most importantly, the strategies must be used, the exam is full of vague answers and ones that sound great in languaging, but don't match the vignette.
TDC was great! The topics were covered in a way that were clear and easy to comprehend. The study plan was broken down into reasonable and attainable time blocks. It was well organized and nice to have prompt support and questions answered when needed. Thank you TDC Team!

I took my exam on 4/17/21 and I feel TDC has no only prepared me as far as knowledge goes, but also helped me manage my anxiety, time management, and how and when to go back and review questions. So thankful for TDC!!
Not only did TDC prepare me for the exam, it increased my skills as a clinician. My colleagues noticed a difference in my skills and knowledge in supervision and case consultations. I wish lifetime access was an option. It was that good!
I attempted my MFT clinical exam in October and failed. I soon realized that this exam is quite different from others I had taken in school as Amanda states in her TDC program. I studied again following step by step on the program (just giving myself more time per segment) to make sure I understood the materials. I had to go over some sections twice because English is my second language. I listened to the strategies more than once and followed the tips for exam day. On exam day, I did not feel like I passed because I ran out of time at the end when I had 10 more questions to go and even then "I PASSED". It feels great to see my effort pay off. TDC does prepare you, hang in there, If I did it, You can do it also.
Very pleased with the program overall, especially the mock exams. I found TDC's mock exams to be pretty challenging in comparison to the actual exam, so that on test day I felt confident and prepared. I appreciate TDC's emphasis on staying calm and "attacking" the test as opposed to unnecessary memorization, which in my experience just creates anxiety.
I couldn't be happier with the TDC program! I used the program prior to taking my Law and Ethics exam and passed without difficulty, so it was a no brainer to use TDC when it was time to take the MFT clinical exam. I'm happy to say I passed the first time out and I know it was due to using the TDC program. It's fantastic! Like the Law and Ethics exam I was so well prepared for the clinical exam that despite having some "pre-test nerves" on board I also felt confident. The program covers everything essential from exam content to testing strategies to additional coaching and support. In addition I want to mention that during the study process there was a period where I was unable to access my materials. I'm happy to report the tech staff at TDC was on it and it was resolved in no time, so I didn't loose any precious study time!! Thank you TDC!! I'm so happy you've been a part of my journey and I will definitely highly recommend your program!!
Love the structure! Happy I took this decision and passed the first time! TDC did there part.
I passed my LMFT exam today!!
Wanted to share my experience since reading others passing posts helped to motivate and encourage me through the studying and preparation process.
I only used TDC to prepare and passed on the first try
Mock 1: 64%
Mock 2: 75%
Final Mock 1: 48% and I ran out of time with 11 questions to go
Final Mock 2: 71% with 10 minutes to spare and took a break at question 90
What helped me:
Followed TDC and listened to the audios
Take a break at question 90 on exam and have a snack. It helps your brain refocus and power through
Stay positive. Keep telling yourself positive affirmations and visualize passing.
Don’t get caught up on staying on one question too long and use scratch paper to write out time break down!
Good luck everyone and big congrats to those that have passed!!!
