Read what our MFT students are saying about their GGS Exam Prep experiences! Hi Gerry I wanted to share the wonderful news with you that I passed my MFT exam December 19th!!!!! Thank you, thank you!!! Dear Gerry and GGS Staff, Just wanted to let you know that I passed the MFT CV exam on 12/23 and had a VERY merry Christmas afterwards!!! Thank you for helping me to pass the exam, again on my first attempt. Your prep courses and materials were absolutely essential in my studies! I could NOT have done it without them. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! and best wishes for 2011!!! - Alice K., LMFT (soon to be...) (12/27/10) Hello! Just a note to say thank you for effective and easy to use test prep. I took both exams within 8 weeks of total studying and passed both on the first try. My main method of preparation for both exams was your online test bank, though I used your written materials as well (the workbook for the second exam was especially good). The audio was helpful reinforcement, especially for law/ethics and reviewing theory. I found your testbank tests and rationales to be excellent preparation for both exams. In both cases, the actual exam was easier than your practice exams, and the format was realistically very similar. Thanks again! I don't know how anyone could adequately prepare for the exams without these materials--the BBS guides certainly weren't any help at all in anticipating what the questions would look like and how they seem to think. - J.R. (10/13/10) At times I thought I would never get through this exam. The whole process appeared contradictory, unfair and something I couldn’t master (could not be mastered!) I am from England and thought the whole test was beyond me. I only started to feel a sense of hope when I began attending the Gerry Grossman Seminars. My experience of the classes was that they were well structured, accessible and interesting. The mood was relaxed, there were always bagels and coffee available and all the staff were welcoming. Despite the pressures Gerry always kept a sense of humor and I can honestly say I enjoyed attending all of the workshops. I also studied with Jorid Nygard and she was the same, lots of laughs, and lots of learning. The center in West Los Angeles appeared to me like some kind of college, many people being in the same position as me. Rather than solitary study, the act of being with others helped in itself, shared experience as well as the chance for our own study groups and networking generally. I took the mock exam and that proved to be a crucial learning time and eventually I was able to take the exam with ability and sense of confidence I had not previously experienced while I was studying on my own. I can highly recommend (and suggest) that you explore what Gerry Grossman Seminars have to offer. I never thought I could get through but thanks to Gerry and his center I did, you can do it! Sincerely, Dear Gerry, I am happy to say I passed the WCV Exam yesterday!!! I am so happy all of this is OVER!!! I appreciate all you study materials, support and attention!! I will refer my friends to your services and continue to speak highly of you and your program!!! Sincerely, Dear Gerry, I am happy to say I passed the WCV Exam yesterday!!! I am so happy all of this is OVER!!! I appreciate all you study materials, support and attention!! I will refer my friends to your services and continue to speak highly of you and your program!!! Sincerely, Good Morning Gerry, I passed the CV exam!! I wanted to share this joyous news with friends, and family and I wanted to let you know how helpful your program has been, for me. I have told my previous supervisor, colleagues and professors about the effectiveness of your seminars. I could not have passed the exams without your help Gerry, I promise you! Sincerely, Hi Gerry and team, Thank you for your help. I passed both my Standard and Clinical Vignette tests on my first try. I started taking your classes in Jan. at 7 months pregnant with a 2.5 year old toddler at home full time. My goal was to take the classes for both tests before the baby was born, and to at least attempt to pass the first test. I took my standard test after starting classes for the written test, and passed. Six weeks later at 38 weeks pregnant I took the Clinical Vignette test, and passed! - Sarah S., MFT (May 19, 2010) Thanks to your great materials. I am an audio person, so the CDs were a great help to me, as were all your materials. Your materials were well organized and the test banks were spot on for practice. I can't thank you enough for giving me the experience I needed to get through this......It has been a looooong haul! Thanks again, Hello! I just wanted to inform you that I PASSED my 2nd MFT exam and I am officially LICENSED!!! Thank you so much for providing such a
comprehensive study for both exams. I felt well-prepared for the exams and now I have great reference material for future use! Gerry- I don't think I would have passed if it weren't for the way Anne and Cio went over all of the material at the mock and at the 22 hour class. Reviewing the content areas, tips on managing my anxiety, and teaching me to re-write the question with the focus and pulling the acronym up was key for me. It improved my ggs test scores greatly and gave me the confidence I needed. I just had faith in the 'system' and used my gut. And I did not go back and change anything, which has been a tendency of mine and one I resisted during the real exam. Also, both Anne and Cio were so available to help process my readiness, my anxiety and any questions I had. So again...
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Both Cio and Anne have been incredible. Just wanted to let you all know (and thank you!), I passed my clinical vignette exam on the 30th and now I'm waiting for my license number! Thanks so much for the help of the program! I know it made a huge difference! Best wishes, Hi Gerry, Hi there, I just want to let you know that I passed both MFT licensing exams, first time. I studied with Gerry Grossman materials and they really helped! Regards, Melanie P. (10/28/2009) Hi Gerry. I wanted to let you know that I passed my clinical vignette exam today! It was my first try and I thought your practice tests and study material were perfect. I even finished an hour early and I felt totally prepared. Thank you so much for all your help through this process. I passed both exams on the first try and I will highly recommend your program to everyone. Best of luck! Alisa B., M.A., MFT (10/1/09) Hello: Just wanted to let you know I have passed part 2 of the exam, the 1st time!! The classes and computer materials were very helpful I didn't think I would use the CD's but found them helpful when I didn't feel like "really studying". They helped drum the theories, early-middle-late treatment goals and interventions into my head while I was ironing and doing other chores. My Instructors were great. I had Gerry, Mary Catherine (CV classes), and a woman w/ attractive red hair (sorry forgot her name!) for the 2 day standard written workshop. Sincerely, Joseph W. MFT!!!! I passed 1st time (both tests). Thank You Gerry Grossman and Staff for all your help. The day after
passing the first MFT exam, I immediately purchased the Clinical Vignette Package. Janet L. (7/15/09) Hi Gerry - Just wanted you to know the GREAT news that I passed the MFT WCV test today. Valerie S. (6/27/09) I passed the WCV exam on the first try - thanks to you. I have to say that it was the hardest exam I have ever taken and I had the distinct impression that I had failed as I had no sense of whether I had responded correctly to the questions. When the computer results came up saying I had passed, I burst into tears, I was so shocked and relieved. I don't think I would have passed this exam if I hadn't taken your course - it taught me how to think about the questions in a way that, even under pressure and without confidence, helped me choose the correct answers. Dear Cedric & Team: Phyllis M. Thank you, passed the exam on 2/5/07. Failed the first time when using a competitors study guide. Your study materials and CD's were a complete package, almost a Masters study course in itself. Thanks again!!!! Waiting on my license and relaxing for the first time in years. Our LCSW candidates have a lot to say about Gerry Grossman Seminars! Hi Gerry Thank you and God Bless One down and one to go! I was in your LCSW test prep course this month in San Clemente. I took the Written Standard test on Friday 2/18 and passed! I'll see you in Santa Monica in a few weeks. Thought you'd like to know. :) Cheryl B. (2/19/11) Hi Patti, I can't thank you enough for all you have done to help me pass this exam. You are an amazing teacher, compassionate person and a talented clinician. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Stephanie R. (2/8/11) Hi Patti, I attended your Dec. 4th LCSW Mock CV Exam class last year and just over 6 weeks later I am now a LCSW. I justed wanted to say thank you so much for the extra tools & more importantly added confidence I needed to get over the hump or out of my own way :), and pass the exam. The class and you were wonderful. Thanks again, Zenobia R. (1/22/11) Hi Patti- In all honesty, what worked for me was 1) attending the 22 hour class instruction in San Clemente (September 2010), 2) weekly study groups with my partner (who I met at the workshop), 3) test bank questions, 4) audio presentations (crisis management, biopsychosocial assessment, law- but not ethics), 5) reading CV workbook thoroughly 1x, as well as, the corresponding section to the test bank when I scored 60% (I may have read each section over 5x's). I feel so confident in my material and have even considered tutoring others. Thank you so much Patti for all of your Irish luck provided to me during the seminar. Please continue helping future LCSW candidates prepare for the test. Marisa S. (1/10/11) Hi Patti: I wanted you to know that I passed the LCSW Standard Exam this weekend on 10/30! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I took the course twice, did the exams and felt prepared! I also brought your Irish Luck card with me and felt I could survive “Testland” and I did! I strongly recommend this course for anyone who is considering taking the LCSW. The materials, the amount of information and focus on LCSW preparation was phenomenal! You can do it!! See you for the LCSW Written Clinical Vignette part! All My Thanks to you and Gerry and the whole TEAM! Jessica A. MSW (11/1/10) Dear Patti, Your course was a miracle! I have peace in in my mind, a painted structure of what I need to know and how to use the test banks. I have a direction that I feel confident with, with your honest realistic presentation of the facts. You have shown such a great sense of humor, coupled with wanting students to understand, that you have enclosed memory prompts, visual cues, and whatever possible to make for a positive and interesting memory recall. Please know, that I feel exceptionally blessed and you are God sent! Ellen R. (10/26/10) Taking your course was a life saver!!! I truly believed it was the tool I needed to pass. I passed the first exam on the 4th try and the second on the 1st. After I took the seminar I knew that I missed out and I do believe that if I would have taken your seminar first I would have passed. Thank you thank you and even more thank you Patti. I'm a LCSW and I owe it to you! Thank you for being so patient, knowledgeable, and the passion you have in assisting us (me) in passing the exam as well being a competent clinician! You're awesome and extra thanks for Irish luck! Sincerely, Gerry- Gerry- Dear Mr. Grossman: I wanted to let you know, personally, that those flash cards were extremely helpful, easy to use, comprehensive, concise, and all in all, I would highly recommend them to anyone who is studying for the exam.
