Here's a recent review from Emily Bridwell:"TDC study methods were extremely helpful. The program was recommended to me by numerous colleagues, all of whom had passed using TDC. For me, TDC study methods took much of the confusion out of the exam and structured my studying in such a way that I felt confident and assured. The test was pretty tough - but, I passed! Thank you, TDC!"
