The program includes more than 30 hours of video, as well as several quizzes and multiple full-length practice exams. You can get through the entire program in about 50 total hours of studying. That said, everyone's pace is different; you may need more time for some content areas and less for others. Most customers study using this program for 30 to 60 days prior to their actual exam. Some customers have been successful on their actual exam with as little as two weeks of focused studying.

This program includes all the content we believe you need to be successful on the California MFT Clinical Exam. There are no upsells, additional fees, or other features to buy -- this is our complete program.

Initial access is for 180 days, beginning at the time of purchase. But we're with you until you pass. If you don't pass in that initial period, you can request a no-cost extension.

The program is updated regularly to address changes in legal and ethical standards, include current clinical considerations, and conform with the most current BBS Exam Plan.

Assuming you have completed all other applicable requirements, you become eligible for the California MFT Clinical Exam upon successful completion of the required 3,000 hours of supervised experience. When you finish your hours, you submit your application to the Board of Behavioral Sciences. They then make a determination of eligibility for the California MFT Clinical Exam.

The California MFT Clinical Exam (sometimes just called the MFT Exam or the MFT License Exam) consists of 170 questions, of which 150 are scored. The other 20 are non-scored "experimental" items, which are being considered for possible inclusion as scored items in future test cycles. Unless you have an accommodation that provides you with additional time, you have 4 hours to complete the test.

The passing score cutoff for the California MFT Clinical Exam varies by exam cycle and version, but is typically around 100 out of 150 scored items (67%). It would be unusual for a version of the test to have a passing score cutoff below 97 or above 103.

Disability accommodations for the California MFT Clinical Exam are handled through the exam vendor, PSI. Accommodations for English as a Second Language (ESL accommodations) are handled through the Board of Behavioral Sciences.

In most cases, results are provided at the testing facility immediately upon completion of your exam. Occasionally, results are not immediately available, in which case you should receive your results electronically through PSI, typically within 24 hours.

Once you pass the exam, the BBS is automatically notified of your test result (typically within 1-2 business days). You must then go to the Breeze site to upgrade to full licensure.

If you do not pass, you must wait at least 120 days prior to your next exam attempt. You will then need to re-register for the exam. This is to ensure that no examinee receives the same version of the test twice.

While it is not common, on rare occasions exams will be impacted by power outages or other issues that result in inadequate or improper test administration. In such instances, it is important to have testing center staff file an Incident Report before you leave the building. This report makes it much more likely that PearsonVUE or the BBS will be able to take steps to rectify the situation.
