Testimonials
Read what our students are saying about their GGS Exam Prep experiences! 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, 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, 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 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, Gerry- Hi Gerry, 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) 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. 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. Dear Gerry, I wanted to tell you that I am a licensed MFT! I passed the WCV exam on May 6, 2006. I used your programs for both the written and WCV exams. I originally purchased two other programs in addition to yours because I was not sure which program was the best. What a waste of time and money! Your program was right on target! I found the online exams and study flash cards to be very helpful. I also listened to the CD's on my long commute to work and attended the WCV info meeting. I have recommended your program to my friends. Thank you for offering such a great program. Sincerely, Dear Gerry and Mary Catherine, I just took my second test and I passed! I took the "fast track" and passed my first test on Feb 4th and my second today on March 13th! I also purchased your mock exams for both tests and they were right on! Thank you so much, I felt very prepared!!! Meredith C. Good morning Gerry, Dear Gerry: I am thrilled to let you know that I took the WCV exam last week and passed it the first time. This occurred just over three months after taking the Standard Written Exam, which I also very happily passed the first time! Hello Gerry, Dear Gerry, Chuck, and Anne...my teachers! Hey Gerry!! I just wanted to send out a HUGE thank you for your wonderful class. I just passed my MFT Clinical Vignette today and words cannot describe my happiness. I only wish I would have taken your class 2 years ago so I didn't have to wait this long to feel this good :) Oh well, I'm licensed!!!!!!! Let's not hound on the negative, right! Thanks again for a wonderful learning experience. I will definitely recommend your study courses to many in the future. I'm sure we'll meet up again sometime in one of your CEU classes. I decided to take the GGS courses when I was still doing my intern hours because I was watching the other interns that were ahead of me in the process fail the Written and WCV exams left and right. They were so demoralized and wished that they had taken a prep class. So - I signed up. I started the process of studying on June 25th when I started my Written Exam 21 hour course. I had read nothing and reviewed nothing before that day. I found the classes incredibly helpful because they clarified and breathed life into information that put me to sleep when I read it on my own. The class also gave me direction on how to study. When I did study I mostly did practice tests because they gave me new information and charted my progress at the same time. I decided to sign up for the GGS WCV course before I took my written exam because I felt like the "fast track" could only help me. I took the first two days of that class and then I took a Written Mock Exam through GGS where I sat through the entire anxiety-provoking 4 hour exam in the GGS offices. I passed the Mock exam with flying colors and it gave me the confidence to move my exam date up by one month. I passed the written exam on August 18th with 40 minutes to spare and little doubt that I had passed. Most importantly, the acronyms that I had learned in the first two days of the WCV class helped me INCREDIBLY on the Written Exam! The exam questions seemed very ambiguous and those acronyms helped to give them structure. So - exactly 4 weeks to the day after passing my Written Exam and 2 1/2 weeks after finishing my WCV course, I am finished with this crazy process because I passed my WCV exam today with 20 minutes to spare!! Without a doubt - Gerry Grossman Seminars creates much harder tests than the BBS! I was only passing the Gerry Grossman tests by 1 to 3 points with each practice test, but I got antsy yesterday and called the BBS. I still had not received my letter saying that I could take the WCV since I only took the Written Exam 4 weeks ago and I wanted to know when I could expect the letter. The BBS woman said that I didn't have to wait to get the letter since the BBS had the information and I could take the test whenever I wanted. So...I called immediately and signed up for next week. Then I got even more antsy - I took one more practice test and passed by 2 points. I decided one more week was not giving me anything that I didn't already have and I called the testing folks back and scheduled for today! That test was so much easier than GGS tests - I seriously had NO DOUBT that I had passed by the end. Hooray! I felt the same way about the written exam - very well prepared. Gerry, I want to thank you for being such a support both by compiling all the material together in different forms and by offering straightforward and motivating classes to me. Today, I passed my exam with confidence, a result of your seminar which may not be surprising to you. I just wanted to let you know that I took my Written Clinical Vignette exam today and I passed thanks to your preparation courses and on line practice tests. The acronyms and grid were really helpful in managing my time while taking the test! I just passed the Written Exam! I heard you are the best there is, and now I know it's true. Gloriann C. Dear Gerry Grossman and staff, Your study materials were extremely instrumental in my passing both the written and the WCV exams. I had tried other material but could not pass the written exam until I switched to your study material and passed both exams the very first time. I attribute my success to the comprehensive, sensible and accurate materials that you provide. I am ever so grateful that I discovered your study materials and helpful, kind staff to assist me in bringing some sense of completion to a very long and arduous process. In Gratitude, I
just wanted to thank you for your fabulous "WCV" practice exams.
I took the test on Friday, and PASSED. This has been a 12 year journey
for me. After failing the other oral exam 4 times, I can't even
believe that this is now behind me. I just wanted to let you know that I passed the WCV Exam a
couple of weeks ago and that your online practice exams were immensely
helpful! Thank you very much for your excellent study materials;
I don't believe that I would have passed the exams without them. Thanks
again. Hello Gerry, For me, Andrew's sense of humor lessened my anxiety and reminded me that this process is more about test taking than what I would do in my counseling room. Your colorful materials will now be a part of my arsenal of therapeutic tools. Thank you and Thank you again! The test bank and its different formats were most helpful. I also found it helpful that you provided so many different ways (i.e. flip cards, discs, test bank, big study page, etc) to learn the material. Not all worked for me; obviously, I got it somewhere. Finally, I was impressed by you and your staff. From the day I walked into your office, I've been impressed by the individualized attention, accessibility, and prompt responses you provide. Steve D. I passed the WCV exam!!!!! I could not have
done it without your knowledge,
kindness and support. Your acronyms were a savior. As busy as you are,
I felt
like you were always there for me. You are a genuinely good person and
I am
sure that all good things will come back to you. Tena M . Hi Gerry: Karen P. I found the study materials and format were
extremely helpful and prepared me quite well to pass the Written Vignette
MFT exam. Hi Gerry, Sincerely, Gerry Grossman's on-line WCV test bank was
instrumental in helping me to pass the exam. The
vignettes, questions and format provided excellent
preparation for the WCV. Gerry, and all the GGS staff
were supportive and knowledgeable about the entire
process, from the written exam to the WCV. I'm so
glad I chose Gerry Grossman's program.
