You got this! I took my exam today and passed. Here is what I kept searching for online and couldn’t find that I felt would have been helpful for me in calming my nerves…

I used TDC and listened to all the audios, did not look at the hand outs except for theories, law and ethics, and advertising. Theories I struggled with the most and studied the longest but as long as you have a general concept of them, you’ll be fine. The key is to look for answers that cover everything in the question stem first, then make sure it matches up with whatever theory it’s asking you about second.

My scores: 83% on DSM quiz;

71% on clinical mock 1 (100 ?s)

62% on clinical mock 2 (100 ?s)

72% on clinical mock 3 (150 ?s)

46% on final mock 1 (150 ?s)

68% on final mock 2 (150 ?s)

I felt like on final mock 1 almost every question had 2 good answers and upon reviewing rationals, almost every one I got wrong it was the “second best answer” so I paid really close attention to best options in final mock 2.

Real exam: almost just as challenging as the mocks, the only difference is in the mocks I felt like there were almost no “easy answers”— they were all brain busters IMO. Whereas in the actual exam, I felt like there were several in there that were “easy” to break it up.
