"I like how organized, detailed, and repetitive your program is laid out. I have used other online programs and books for the National MFT exam and they gave too much information that overwhelmed me.  Your program definitely covers the topics and your mock exams are great examples of questions on the exam. Thank you." -Jill Fishman

The AMFTRB National MFT Exam is a computer-based standardized exam. The exam includes 180 multiple-choice questions. Test takers are given 4 hours to complete the exam questions. Special accommodations can be requested by individuals who meet the criteria based on the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition, certain states provide special arrangements for English Language Learners (see below for additional information).

A

The passing score for the National MFT Exam is established by a panel of expert judges and will change with each exam testing period. The passing score will shift up or down depending on the determined level of difficulty of each exam question; the easier the questions, the higher the passing score, and the more difficult the questions, the lower the passing score. The majority of states will use the passing score that is set by the AMFTRB; however, some jurisdictions set their own passing score. Test takers do not receive their results immediately; scores are sent to appropriate state licensing board and mailed to you within 20 business days of your exam date.

A

Eligibility to sit for the exam will differ for each state that accepts the AMFTRB National MFT Exam for licensure. You will need to contact your state licensing board for the application and to determine eligibility requirements. Once you are approved by your state licensing board to sit for the AMFTRB National MFT Exam, you will receive an approval letter that will include an approval code and a link to the PTC Online Application System. Once you receive approval, complete the PTC application and submit payment for the examination/testing fee. PTC will email you a Candidate ID and Scheduling Authorization within 6 weeks of your testing period.

The AMFTRB National MFT Exam is administered one week each month. The schedule for upcoming exam periods can be found here.

The answer to this question will vary based on the state you are moving to and requirements established by the state’s MFT licensing board. The first step will be to apply to the state MFT licensing board. Once that state MFT board reviews your application and credentials, they will inform you of any deficits or if you are eligible to sit for the AMFTRB National MFT Exam. You must apply to sit for the National MFT Exam through the state’s MFT licensing board in which you plan to practice. You cannot sit for the exam without taking this step. Here is an overview of requirements by state.

The California Board of Behavioral Sciences is actively pursuing increased reciprocity for MFTs. To date, several states will accept the California MFT Clinical Exam, which means MFTs moving to these states may not have to take the AMFTRB National MFT Exam. Check with the state’s licensing board to determine if the California MFT Exam will fulfill the exam requirement.

A

The National MFT Exam has more questions than the California MFT Clinical Exam (200 versus 170). The content areas have some overlap, but the National MFT Exam covers more domains (aka knowledge areas). The domains that are tested on the National MFT Exam can be found here. The National MFT Exam has a larger share of recall-based questions, whereas the California Clinical MFT Exam is mostly comprised of reasoning-based questions. However, The National MFT exam does include exam questions that will test your critical thinking skills.

A

There is some overlap between the content that is tested on the National MFT exam and the California Clinical MFT exam. However, there are also significant differences in the content and types of questions that appear on each exam. Each program teaches the content and strategies designed to meet the unique needs of each exam. For this reason, it is not appropriate to use one program for both exams. If you are using TDC to prepare for both exams we would be happy to give you a discount code as a thank you for your loyalty.

Course Reviews

This was my fourth time sitting for the MFT exam. I was feeling so defeated and was so avoidant to purchase the TDC online course because I did not want to put any more money into this exam than I already had so far. I decided to purchase it because I had heard from two people from my graduate school cohort who said they passed after utilizing this study program, AND it was also their second or third time sitting for the exam. So I knew this could be my time. After purchasing the program, the first day I sat down to follow the steps they had suggested and I felt rejuvenated, motivated and refreshed to see that they help you every single step of the way. This study program made me feel so confident and actually excited to sit for the exam. I never thought I would utter those words to feel "excited" about taking an exam. During the exam, I referred back to the TDC countless times. It was crucial in my test preparation and I am so happy and proud to share that I passed my exam. I didn't just pass, I passed with flying colors! I highly recommend this to anybody whether it is your very first time sitting for the exam or your fourth time (like myself!), or your tenth time!! Well worth the money. Thanks to TDC, I am able to celebrate my success of passing this exam and being one step closer to becoming an LMFT. If this is your first time considering purchasing this program, make your first time the charm, not your fourth!

Highly recommend this course. It is completely worth the money to have to only stress about and take the licensing exam once! All the tips and tricks I learned from this prep course to navigate the question stem and answers really saved me!

The agency I work at uses a different study program, but I chose TDC because I felt it does a better job of preparing therapists for the exam. No regrets! The program prepared me for the type of questions that are on the test, and covered every domain effectively. Thank you!!

This course was extremely helpful with the reasoning skills associated with the exam, having realistic expectations of how to feel during and after the exam, strategic study plans, well organized, strategic test taking skills, quick study guides, and I would recommend to everyone taking the MFT test.

I have never written a review before, but I felt compelled to share my positive experience! I was dreading studying for the exam until I found this amazing resource. This is not re-learning/memorizing everything from grad school. Amanda teaches you how to understand what the exam questions are asking so that you choose the correct answer. I enjoyed listening to the lectures and reviewing the materials knowing that I only had to be familiar with it and not memorize. This made my exam studying process so do-able and I passed the exam the first time! Stop researching, ditch the "big green book," you have found the perfect MFT exam prep course and it is worth every penny! Follow all of Amanda's advice and good luck!

This is an amazing study portal. I am so grateful. Totally worth the cost. Recommended by all of my licensed peers. I loved the thorough nature of the routine and structured schedule. It was so easy to follow. The difficulty of the practice tests were spot on! I felt equipped and prepared. Even in my anxiety and fear I was pleasantly surprised. I passed the first try!

This program is so amazing. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten myself organized enough to pass both the California and National MFT exams without this program (both times on my FIRST TRY!).

I received this study guide as a Christmas gift about a month before my test. The study guide was a lot different than others I had skimmed. I focused on the audio and quick studies since I was running out of time. I found myself processing the questions differently by the end of the audio which helped tremendously in the exam. I kept running the audio through my head when I had a tough question. If I had not received this study guide for my exam, I truly believe I would not have passed based on how I was processing questions prior. I am now an LMFTA in Indiana!

The program was excellent! I am a mom of two toddlers and working, so I was able to fit it into my schedule. The fact that you can listen to the recordings was so helpful! I did not follow it to a t, but I applied so many of the tips, listened to all the recordings, and took the practice exams and I passed with an 80%!! That is such an accomplishment for me because I graduated 7 years ago and I felt as if I was re-learning so much of the material. It was worth definitely worth every penny!

I tried another exam prep program and felt overwhelmed and quit studying. After completing the TDC exam prep I felt very prepared for the exam. I was able to complete exam with 15 minutes left to go back and review my flagged questions.

I only used this study program and I passed on my first try!! I even spaced it out a lot (over 6 months) and took breaks and because of how the study program is set the information really staying in my head!

When I first started studying for my national MFT exam, I was all over the place. A social worker friend suggested I purchase this course. He highly recommended the course because, like me, he was floundering when studying on his own. The course is organized, has practice exams and quizzes, and puts studying into a perspective that made sense to me. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is studying for the MFT exam.

I was so nervous about the exam before engaging with TDC. While I still felt fear going in, I felt prepared. I was delighted to not only pass, but exceed the passing score by 25. I am so grateful for the program and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you!

I passed with a 92% on my first try, and TDC was all I used to study. I appreciated the weekly agenda and structure, and I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the investment!

I have used the TDC in preparation for my masters level exam in California as well as the licensure exam for the MFT national exam for the state of Indiana.

And using the study material and being consistent with the TDC has proven to help me with not only passing my exam but also with test anxiety which I never knew I had.

The presentation of the exam study material was straight to the point and also focused on important elements of each exam.

I would suggest and have suggested this study prep to future licensed individuals.
