Much more than just a practice exam This notable addition to MFT Licensing Exam's line of effective and efficient study aids offers the first practice exam of its kind to applicants preparing for the national licensing exam in Marriage and Family Therapy. Providing the reader with far more than just questions, this manual begins with an overview of the national exam, test-taking strategies, study techniques, and a unique section on identifying and understanding the knowledge domains measured on the licensing exam. But the reader will benefit most from the 100-question practice exam weighted to the knowledge domains measured on the actual exam while maintaining congruence in rigor and structure. As Domain 1 on the actual exam measures "The Practice of Systemic Therapy" and accounts for 23 percent of the exam, 23 questions on this practice exam fall within Domain 1's criteria-and so forth. What truly sets this practice exam apart is the following chapter providing a through breakdown and analysis of each question as organized by the knowledge domain to which it belongs. Readers will not only be able to score their performance on the exam, but also review which questions were marked incorrect with a provided rationale AND measure how they performed within each particular knowledge domain. And to wrap things up, the author provides an in-depth glossary of key terms and definitions that span the profession and practice of Marriage and Family Therapy. Truly, this practice exam manual stands apart from the rest. Designed to supplement MFT Licensing Exam's Independent Study Guide, applicants can take their next step in test preparations by working through this comprehensive practice exam manual. With MFT Licensing Exam, you can rest assured knowing you TRUST YOUR RESOURCES. What makes our study aids different? Majority of the test prep companies disguise the individuals developing their content while publishing resources for the spectrum of behavioral healthcare exams (Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, and Marriage and Family Therapy). What you'll find is content recycled across disciplines and a shared inventory of questions that fail to address the unique essence of the MFT exam. Our entire line is developed and maintained by Dr. Lucas Volini, a doctor of marriage and family therapy and licensed marriage and family therapist and MFT Licensing Exam LLC caters exclusively to the national licensing exam in marital and family therapy. Dr. Volini has a sincere passion for the profession and practice of MFT and has dedicated his career to scholarship, serving as the prior clinical director of a nationally-accredited MFT graduate program at St. Cloud State University before joining the faculty at Northcentral University with a teaching focus in the Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT) program. Living in books and remaining up to date with cutting edge trends in our field's progression, Dr. Volini keeps our study aids up to date with shifts in the exam's content. Don't catch yourself stunned by the complexities of this exam come test day, and instead, look to MFT Licensing Exam as your trusted test prep resource www.mftlicensingexam.com
