Dear Richard, I attended your seminar on October 5th and I took the test for the first time on November 7th.  I passed both sections...I could not have done it without you.  I know for a fact that I would have failed if I didn't have the CD and attend your seminar.  I studied diligently for 4 weeks. I highly recommend your seminar and materials!!! It was worth every penny.  I know I'm a better counselor after having studied your materials. Thank you so much.

I passed the exam today with no problem. The case vignettes were very easy to understand after attending your seminar…Your case conceptualization methods were extremely helpful. I passed by a healthy margin due to the skills acquired through your course and program…I recalled your entire decision making techniques…Your procedures were right on. The information that you have on marriage and family in the review book was most helpful…It was prevalent in the helping relationships part as well as two vignettes. Please know that I am grateful and that you may use me as an example anytime.

Hi Richard, I wanted to let you know that I PASSED MY EXAM TODAY!!! - I used your materials and took your January workshop in Columbus, and it was worth every penny!! Because I took your workshop, I was better able to identify and understand what the questions were asking, especially on the Clinical section. I passed the clinical part by more than I was expecting!! Thank you so much for teaching your course to potential counselors. The exam is awful, but your class made it easier to understand the exam and increase the chances of passing. I will definitely recommend your course and materials to other people I know that will be taking the exam. I can't thank you enough!!!!!

Hi Richard, I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Through God's awesome power and your study manual, I was able to pass the clinical section…I was able to relax, pray for a clear mind, and answer each question based on the stem (that tip really helped!)

Thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I passed the exam last week…Thank you for all of your tips and encouragement. I managed to make it out of the exam alive and with a passing score too!! My prayers were answered, and speaking of prayers, thank you again for yours.

Just thought you'd like to know that I passed the exam.  I focused mostly on your concept of critical thinking and found that carried me through…In short I found your workshop to be the most helpful aspect of your program.

Richard,

I wanted to let you know that the Review Manual I ordered from you several months ago greatly helped me prepare and pass the exam which I took last month.  It certainly was comprehensive and covered some information that I had not encountered in my graduate program.  I will recommend your program to others who are planning to take the exam. Thank you!

Richard - took my test and passed. Thanks for all your help. Your study material was very helpful. The material got me to focus and gain an understanding of many specifics which could then be used to answer general questions. I will recommend your program to others!

Richard, I passed my exam yesterday. Your case study addendum was extremely helpful…and…helped me pass that section…May God truly bless you Richard.

Richard: I passed my license exam today.  What helped me best with your program was where to spend time studying and teaching the different theorist.  As far as the updates on your program, it helped in the studying process.  Thanks for praying for me.  I know it was the prayers of many that got me through.

(This candidate took the exam once before using another preparation program – then she purchased my materials and attended a workshop). “Thanks for all of your suggestions.  I actually took the exam again on Friday and passed!  So, again, thank you for all of your input.”

Dear Richard: I passed the exam today!  I took your workshop in June and the only material I studied was your manual and CD.  I was going to update you after taking the test on subject areas that needed beefing up – not necessary.  I was totally prepared for the test by studying your material…there was not one question that blind-sided me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I am so glad that I passed on my first attempt...Your Addendum updates on Family Counseling were excellent; it was perfect; just what was needed...it was so much better than the Family Therapy course that I took and the text book or any of the other materials that I’ve seen out there.”   "Richard, you are so sincere and real about what you do and what you have produced and it really shows in your presentation...you really do care and have insights that are very helpful...the other programs don't provide the same personal help and genuineness that you do...of all the materials yours is really the most helpful that’s available."

Richard,
I PASSED!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! I found your material very helpful...I was helped most by your test taking strategies. I found that it was most important to know the theories inside and out...Learning how to pick a question apart and knowing exactly what they are asking is very important. Thanks again. Talk to you soon.

Dear Richard,

Yes, I did pass and I am so glad that this is behind me...I will also recommend your materials to others and when I see the prof's from ATS at seminars or workshops I will give a great word about what you have designed...Again --thank you for all your support.

Just wanted you to know that I passed my exam today!!!!!!  Yes I am ecstatic!  Didn't know if you remembered me but I (and two others) took your prep course and purchased the manual earlier this year. Thank you for your help and encouragement.

Once again thanks for the material…I just read all of the material…please know that God sent you into my life, right on time.  I was truly at the end of my rope, and the knot was not holding [smile}.  Now, I can relax some and have a happier holiday.  Just to know that I will receive help and direction in January.  See you at the workshop.

Thank you so much for all the information you have sent my way.  You have been more helpful than you might already know.  I believe God's hand has been with me in this entire journey and you were another angel sent to help me.   Thank you so much.  I will keep you updated on the out come and get a hold of you when I am ready to take the state test.

I wanted to let you know that I took the exam and I passed on my first attempt!  I really found it helpful with introducing me to theorists and concepts that I was not familiar with.

I truly want you to succeed in your endeavor to prepare counselors for the licensure exam; you have a worthwhile ministry.  Though I have not yet taken the test, I believe by the grace of God that I will pass it, thanks to your workshop and workbook.  By the way, I took the theories test, level one and got 100% after studying your text.

Dear Richard,

Count me in, another successful student of yours.  I am so very excited.  Thank you for your guidance, prayers, and patience…if God had not guided you to write the review text and questions in order to prepare me, to read each question carefully in order to figure out what was being asked, my results would be different…You said it before, it is a difficult exam, but with proper preparation one can pass it.

I passed the exam…I found your testing strategies and learning how to interpret test questions to be the most helpful to me.

Richard, I wanted to thank you for producing your materials…I would not have passed without using your manual and CD. The annotated theorist list really helped me sort out the nuances within the exam questions.

"L" is allowing me to share her story with you.  She used several other preparation programs and did not pass after 4 attempts.  She then purchased my materials, attended a workshop, and PASSED ON HER VERY NEXT ATTEMPT!  Here is what she wrote: Hello!  Well, you have another successful candidate to add to your list!  I am very happy (ecstatic, actually) to share with you that on my 5th time of taking the exam, I HAVE PASSED!  I really think that your test taking strategies, the annotated theorist list, and family therapy information helped!  I will truly recommend your program to others I know or come across that will be taking the exam and let them know that your program is well worth it! Thanks so much for developing the RIGHT program!!!!

Hi Richard: I passed!!! Thanks for your prayers, your help and coursework. The critical thinking and test taking approaches you recommended really helped me. Also categorizing all the names by psychodynamic, behaviorism, etc, etc with the associated generalities of treatment helped allot. Knowing that there would be a lot of intelligent guessing required was also good advice. Thanks again for your help and prayers.

I wanted to tell you I passed the exam today…I used your material along with (others)…I found it all to be helpful. I thought the exam was tough.  Your serious approach to this exam challenged me to get serious and focus-- I think that helped-- I did not take it lightly-- I studied allot.  I also prayed ALOT!
