"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

My learning experience with TDC was amazing! I learned so much and I think that what worked, at least for me, was the mixed of different ways of studying (audio. reading, quizzes, practice tests). Also, the information is well prepared, straight to the point, and impeccable explained!!

We did it again! I passed the National MFT exam on my first try with a score of 153 (passing was 124). You all helped me pass both of my CA licensing exams 8 years ago on the first try, also scored in the mid to upper 80's percentage wise. Now they helped me pass my National MFT exam on the first attempt. When I reached out for a discount code I was only expecting a small discount and was blown away at the discount you all provided as a returning customer. I can't say enough about TDC and all your help. I am also super excited you all have CEU courses now... you've helped me in many ways and I can't thank you all enough!

This program was so well organized and comprehensive! I appreciated the audio lectures in addition to the quick studies and the many mock exams and quizzes! The program helped me think about HOW to take the test and how eliminate answers which was so needed! I appreciated the context on the top 50 topics as other study programs seemed to just focus on theories and ethics. The research quick studies were also helpful! Thank you all so much! I am so happy I passed!

Thank you, TDC for your support in my studying! I exclusively used the TDC materials and program to study. On test day I even came across an identical question from the TDC practice exam on the real exam! I passed my first time with an 81% May 2022. The passing score was 124 and I received a 147/180. I was consistently scoring a 70% on all of my TDC practice exams so was feeling worried going into exam day. But, TDC set me up for success. Thanks!

TDC was an answer to prayer. I needed a comprehensive study package that would review everything as it had been many years since I was in school due to taking time off to raise my kids. The program is well organized, informative, and easy to follow. It uses various modes of learning to reinforce the concepts. TDC not only enabled me to pass the test with flying colors, but made me a better clinician in the process.

If you want guaranteed results and a passing score the 1st time TDC is the way to go. I was prepared for my exam and they have exactly what you need. They are knowledgable and they have the best step-by-step format you could ever ask for.

Thank you, TDC! I PASSED the National MFT exam!!!! I moved from CA with an AMFT only to find out that NC was much different in their licensure process. I had to take this exam first in order to even apply for an LMFTA here. YIKES!!! I was not prepared for this news but TDC you did it! In a short, two or so months, you got me through the exam!!! I studied only with your materials. I followed all of Amanda's recommendations and guidance and also went through the materials twice! I heeded her wisdom of letting go of perfection and just PASS, this exam. I am forever grateful and I thank you, thank you, thank you.

TDC helped me focus and organize material I had not looked at in 20 years. I had so much going on in my life during my study times and the recordings and handouts were done in such a way that I was able to spend the time I could going through the program and reviewing. I did not even take the full mock exam and still was able to pass on my first try using this program. I’m beyond thankful I purchased this.

I had taken the exam twice and felt defeated that I didn't have a study system that worked. I found TDC and started meeting with a study group. Times three and four that I took the exam, I had studied a little bit, but not as much as I should using TDC. I really hit the program hard in November of 2021, and took my exam this past February. Time #1 I missed it by 12 points. Time #2 I missed it by 7 points. Time #3 I missed it by 3 points. Time #4 I missed it by 2 points. I had almost given up completely. I got my scores today. Passing was 125, and I made a 141! Thank you TDC for being a program that truly sticks with you till you pass!

Followed the program while working full time and passed on the first try!

TDC is so much more than a study system. It is a coach, a positive voice in your ear cheering you on, a toolbag with more tricks than you can imagine, and a guarantee that they will support you until you pass. I had previously taken the exam twice and I actually did fail by 1 point my third time taking the MFT exam while using TDC, but I did not utilize the study program in its entirety. After failing for the third time and working through my own shame and guilt, I studied every day and changed my mindset. I went into the exam the 4th time with so much confidence that when I pushed submit with 3 minutes and 36 seconds left, I closed my eyes, laid my head back, and smiled-knowing I passed this time. I knew I finally reached my career goal and all of the blood, sweat, tears, time, and money lead to this moment. TDC is the best and ONLY study system that should be used for the MFT licensure exam and I am so thankful that it exists!!! Thank you - thank you - thank you for helping my dreams become a reality.

excellent! Passed with one point to spare!!! First time taking the MFT exam and cram studied for 2 months.

The TDC prep had everything I needed to pass the exam. I did not need to use other source material (although interacting with the material in different ways was helpful to me personally. Example: recording myself reading my notes.) The DSM portion was particularly helpful for such a cumbersome amount of material.

TDC works if you follow the suggestions . Keep going and dont give up until you pass! They will stay with you!
Trust in your knowledge and use the resources! It took me 4 times but I did it! Thanks TDC!!!

This program proved to be extremely helpful for me in passing the MFT exam. Being taught various techniques and methodologies was essential to my passing. I am not a good test taker and prior to taking the exam, I was performing poorly on the practice exams. Being taught fundamental techniques such as "when looking at my choices on the exam, think of what would I do first? Or which answer is the most reasonable?" were techniques that I sadly had not considered before. I believe the refreshing of materials and having these fundamental techniques in mind are the reasons I passed on my first try!

I was so nervous about the exam but this study program made me feel confident and not just knowing what information would be tested but HOW to take the exam and how to read each question.

TDC is the best study material out there! I passed the MFT exam on the first try! The lectures were done so that made learning material easy and the questions on the mock exams were very similar to those on the actual exam! Trust the process and follow the lectures and exams and you will be prepared!

Excellent, comprehensive study system that allowed me to pass with ease on the first try!

I am always amazed with the way TDC prepares me for passing an exam. I used TDC to take the California MFT exam, and passed it on the first try. I of course turned to TDC again to study for the National MFT exam and I was honestly feeling that I could have studied more, and almost decided to postpone the exam. Needless to day, I moved forward, took the National MFT exam and passed on the first try. Thank you Amanda!

Oh my gosh, I just found out I passed and am so incredibly relieved! The TDC study material was so helpful and really helped my confidence going into the exam. Thank you for putting together such an excellent resource. I really think it not only helped me pass the exam, but has made me a better therapist.
