Course Reviews
Thank you TDC!!!! I passed both my law and ethics and CA LMFT clinical exams on the first try because of your study program. I also highly recommend booking calls with the coaches to give you that extra nudge in the right direction as well.
TDC was crucial in helping me pass my LMFT exam. The audios, literature and practice tests address all the topics and possible scenarios that can be in the exam. It definitely gives you what you need to be prepared to pass the exam.
Really appreciate TDC program. The program materials are compact and comprehensive enough for my exam preparation. Not only the quality of the program materials, this program provided psychological support and professional individual coaching for me. When I got the results of the 1st final mock exam, I realized I was not ready for the exam. Anxiety kicked in, and I felt out of control and did not know how to improve and what part I need to focus on. When I reached for help, I got the best assistance beyond my expectation. They responded me right away with a lot of detailed, important, and helpful instructions how and what part I could try along with a lot of encouragement. I felt positive and requested for the individual coaching. Asya analyzed where I was at and gave me specified directions for me, in what area I need to spend time and efforts and how while talking on the phone only for one hour. She sounded confirmed, supportive, and understanding. When I studied following her instruction, I realized it was very effective. For the one week until the real test since one-hour phone call with Asya, I contacted with her shortly through e-mailing. She was very reachable, supportive, and very helpful. At last, I passed the MFT Clinical exam. Without the study materials and personalized coaching help, I cannot see this successful result. Thanks to this program and Asya, I was able to close all the years of study and work. Now, I can start my own practice. Thanks a lot.
The tutoring I received from Robin was crucial to my passing the first time. It helped me hone in on where I was struggling (reading comprehension) and gain self confidence that I was ready.
So happy that my colleague recommended your program! My exam was re-scheduled because of the pandemic and I had to take it four months later after being already prepared. I was trying to get it done before school starts as I have two little kids at home and I also struggle with test anxiety... Yet as I was reviewing the material, I realized how well prepared I still felt; the process of teaching us to 'reason' vs. memorize and also link everything together was invaluable to me. I was able to go into the test feeling confident and "leaning in!" Thank you!
My journey was I realized I was not preparing for the exam properly. It too Amanda reeling me in and motivating me. That's is the best part of TDC Amanda" it felt personable as if I had a team of support.
Thank you a million times!!!!!!
I am glad I used TDC for both my L&E, and Clinicals. This program is very thorough, and truly prepares you for the real exam. Thanks to all the coaches for all your help!
Thank you so much TDC and the coaches for all of your support!! Honestly, the pep talk from the coaches and my own self-talk helped so much!!! I believed my own words that "I WILL pass," and I did!! What helped so much too was practicing taking the mock exams like I would actual test day, same time, with a mask on (due to Covid) and eating a small snack during my break! I took this course twice around and scheduled my exam 5 days after my final mock. Everything has remained fresh in my brain and I am so happy! Thank you again TDC!
Thank you very much for your great help. I felt very nervous and anxious on the day but the actual exam was way easier than TDC mocks!
I passed my MFT clinical exam. Thank you Asya for the support and Robin for suggesting for me to take a break when I initially didn't pass. Mock Final exam 1 and 2 were more challenging compared to the actual test.
What helped me was saying I am going to PASS everyday and working out each day. I studied for a total of 2 months about 4 hours per day. I listened to the theory lectures and the code of ethics several times.
Final mock 1 I got 52% and Final mock I got 71%.
Had I not purchased the TDC MFT Exam Prep, I probably would have flunked!
Thank you.
I felt fully prepared prior to taking the exam! The experienced the LMFT exam as much easier in comparison to the TDC Final Mock exams. I highly recommend this program and fully believe it is worth the expense.
I was super well prepared and crammed the whole program into 3 weeks and still passed my first time!
TDC really prepared me to use sound clinical judgement when reviewing each vignette. I felt nervous but prepared and competent! I’m so thankful to TDC for all of the training and exam prep! It’s definitely worth the investment! Thank you!!
Hello,
Wow, what a long an exhausting (mentally and emotionally) journey. I started in my MFT program in 2015, graduated in 2017 and passed the clinical exam today, 07/30/2020. TDC was the only study prep program I used and one coaching call with Nancy. TDC fits my way of studying perfectly as I am a visual and audio learner so when I was able to read and hear the rationales, that was perfect. Amanda really breaks down the content you need to know for the test in a way that does not seem overwhelming. Thank you so much!!!!
No thanks
The mocks were really hard. I failed them both... Don’t get discouraged, go over all the miss questions and find out why. I ran out of time on the test and I had to leave 11 questions blank! I still passed! So, I am assuming I did really well on the other ones. The questions were very similar to the study material!
I was so scared I would not pass because of all the stress from COVID-19, everything happening in the world, I'm six months pregnant, and I have personal family issues going on. I followed the TDC and trusted it like I did for the law and ethics (which I passed the law and ethics the first time) and I was able to pass the LMFT the first time. I believe TDC is worth the money and I felt prepared. Thank you!! :)
Thankful for this comprehensive study program, it helped me feel prepared and confident on test day!
