I took the MFT standard exam for the first time in March of 2012. I failed by 4 points. I was utterly disappointed and very upset with myself and just drained from the whole process. I studied by using Grossman’s materials which was incredibly overwhelming and I mostly used the testbanks. The questions were nothing like the testbank and I didn’t feel prepared and anxiety got the best of me.
I came across TDC and Amanda’s materials in May or June of this year and kept reading all these great things and that people were passing the exam and feeling so confident about the process. I went through all of the workshops and took the standard exam again on Oct 19, 2012 and passed. I felt very confident and sure of my self while I was moving through the test just like Amanda said I would if I studied her strategies and went through all of the workshops a couple of times.
I wanted to keep the momentum so I signed up for the vignette exam just a month later. It took me a couple of weeks to get through the 7 or 8 workshops for the MFT vignette and I felt ready. The second exam was actually a bit more challenging than I thought but I still utilized the strategies and I passed.
So thank you, thank you, thank you to the TDC for making this process somewhat enjoyable and giving us the tools we need, not to little, and not to much-just enough. Your way really does work!
