How I Passed the National Marriage and Family Therapy Exam the 1st Time!

What’s Anya Mind?
Today, I'm reminiscing on the intense months leading up to graduation and my licensure exam. When I first started studying, I was shocked to see how poorly I did on my first practice exam. After over two years in graduate school, I expected to do much better! What I learned is that the National Marriage and Family Therapy exam requires a lot of independent study, and today I'm sharing what helped me pass the exam the first time I took it!

I remember watching this video over a year ago when I graduated from my masters program and now I finally have the courage to take the exam in a couple of weeks! I appreciate you!! Update: I

Clearly you’re highly intelligent to be a not study type of person and able to make it through grad school. I have been a corner cutter my whole life. My first 3 attempts of the exam I didn’t want it half as badly as I want it now. I took it for the 4th time for the first time of actually trying really hard and failed by 4 points! I am taking my exam for the 5th time on Friday (2 days). Pray for me!

This woman is a genius! I used a different program and failed the first time. Tried the AATBS program, studied for a week and passed, still in shock. Listen to her and use this- it works!

I finally passed my exam and was a long journey! I will finally get my license in February!

It was so comforting and nice to hear you say you were a lifelong nonstudier who did the bare minimum. I feel like I am totally this way and now I’m in the phase to do my internship and I feel so inadequate and like a failure for not having studied like I should’ve.🥺 so thanks for being honest and making this video.

I will most definitely use these techniques when I start studying for the next step in my career, because I too will be taking a 4 hour board exam! YIKES (biting my nails). Thanks for posting this very impressive topic! 100 thumbs up

Omg this video is a GOD SEND!!! I love how you are honest about your study habits in and out of school ( I feel like most people are not as much as they should) I have horrible study habits!! And I could relate to this video on so many levels. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!

Thank you so much for this amazing resource and information! I am in my second year of my MFT Masters program at Northcentral University also! The exam prep books are a major textbook utilized in my classes so far, as you mentioned. I really appreciate your resources for exam prep and will be using those for sure. I will specialize in sex therapy and plan to have my own practice around that for individuals and couples. So excited to have found your channel today! Also found your wired reactions quite a while ago and kept looking for more videos from you in wired. Excites to see you have reaction videos on this channel because I learned so much from them.
