WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT TCM REVIEW SEMINARS

TCMREVIEW really helped me get to and stay on track with my Acupuncture board preparation! It was a bumpy road, but Bina and the staff were always there for support. The videos and practice tests really set the tone for what was coming. Extra materials, like compiled downloads were available for “grab and go” study sessions, which were convenient on my busiest days.

The BIG PICTURE video, I believe, saved me on the test. I learned it, practiced it, and then on Board Test Day, wrote it down on scratch paper. I referred to it over a dozen times! It was as if I was taking an open-book test!

I also loved Bina’s 4 Needle Technique Video. Made easy work of an Ancient System. Clean Needle Technique is also covered very well with TCM REVIEW. And as Bina says, “Remember, this is a SAFETY TEST”, so going over the CNT Manual on video, then running through the provided questions was a GREAT review of rather dry material!

I’m grateful to have had this resource to get me through the finish line! Thank you so very much!

Sincerely,

Laura D. NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2024 April 30, 2014

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the level of care you have with each one of your students. I feel so incredibly supported by you. From the get-go, with this program, I can tell how deeply you want us all to succeed, the level of openness you have with us is so refreshing in a world of corporate distance. You truly embody the medicine with the way you approach your program. Thank you.

Dear Bina and TCM Reviewer Admin Team,

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to thank you very much for your help and support. I had all my exams passed in 1 blow and got my NCCAOM Diplomates last week finally!

I studied TCM in Chinese and so was very anxious about the exams 4 years ago. Luckily I googled and found TCM reviewer. Bina’s lessons are very helpful and informative. I have learned a lot of new knowledge and knew where to start my revision. The multiple choices are very useful, too. It makes sure I get familiar with case studies questions. I felt more confident to take the exams.

What’s more, I felt overwhelmed when I saw the CNT course book. I tried to study myself before I attended TCM reviewer’s class. It was very unproductive because I tried very hard to read, but just finished reading a few pages for whole day. With Bina’s help, I got the whole picture in just a few hours!

Thank you so much again for the Admin team support. Your feedback is very efficient and helpful. I will treasure this opportunity and try my best to help people improve their quality of life. Thank you again and have a great day.

Yours sincerely, Connie

I wanted to also share my appreciation for your program. It is exactly what I was looking for. The best word that I can use to describe it is “nurturing”.

The organization and depth of information make it so easy to study. This isn’t easy content, but you do an excellent job of delivering it, as well as the study and test-taking strategies that are crucial for a passing score. I am also immensely appreciative of your email – that you took the time to read and respond so promptly. I think it helped with the final push of my confidence.

I am just very grateful. I don’t think I could have done it without the program. I absolutely owe my success to the strategies you taught me/us.

“TCM Review is by far the best CALE prep course there is! TCM Review was the reason why I went into the CALE feeling confident and prepared, and why I passed the CALE while feeling like it was easy!!”

I graduated from acupuncture school 7 years ago, and at that time I had taken an exam prep course with a different instructor. The course wasn’t organized and wasn’t very thorough, however, I was able to pass the nationals but failed the CALE in 2017. I then went on to work for the federal government and switched careers. Seven years later, I wanted to take the CALE again and get back to Chinese Medicine, but after being away from the material and the TCM world for so long, I knew I had to find a great prep course. I’ve heard about TCM Review before and went on their site to learn more. I was very impressed by how organized and clear everything was on the website. I decided right then to purchase the 6 month self-guided course, little did I know that was the best decision I had made.

The course itself is incredibly thorough, extremely well organized, and clear. I really liked how each of the 12 weeks was clearly marked with the different quizzes and videos for their respective weeks. The quizzes themselves were incredibly helpful, and challenging. I personally learned so much from the quizzes and drills, especially the ones I would get incorrect because each question had feedback on why the answer was right or wrong. The test bank is also massive, it has over 6,000 questions and was organized very well. The study schedule that Bina provided was very helpful for me – I didn’t have to think about what I needed to study everyday because it was already planned out. I followed the study schedule and a few weeks before my exam I began taking the full length practice tests as well as the mock exams. Throughout the whole course I requested to meet with Bina several times and she was always so kind in helping me work through things such as my study schedule and what to focus on during my last weeks.

The course has so many valuable resources available to students, such as health & wellness, nutritional and supplement suggestions for studying as well a Hypnotherapy Recording for Test Anxiety recorded by a world renowned hypnotherapist just for TCM Review. I listened to this recording several times before my exam and found it to be very helpful.

In addition to the course and website being extremely well designed and planned out, Bina was always willing to meet with me and was incredibly helpful when I emailed her with questions or when I wanted to schedule zoom sessions to discuss my study strategies or concerns about test scores. She would always make time to meet with me and felt like she really cared about my success. Each zoom session was followed up by very thorough notes of the meeting and sent to my email.

I noticed how much time, effort, and dedication was put into this course. TCM Review exudes professionalism and excellence, a great course for those who are ready to PREPARE TO PASS.

Thank you immensely to Bina, and the TCM Review Team for your dedication and care. I absolutely recommend this course to those who’ve just graduated and preparing for the CALE, or for those who have been away from the profession for years, just as I have. Sign up for this course, you will not regret it!!! One and done!!

Thank you!!”

I am very happy to say that after some brutal months of preparing for the CALE exam, I have passed this beast. I solely used TCM review seminars and it was exactly what I needed.

Bina’s classes are on point. Please focus on what she says that we need to know because she is absolutely right, so you won’t be missing out on precious time focusing on a topic that is not high-yield for the exam.

My exam was pretty solid on diagnosis, therefore make sure to watch and rewatch Bina’s classes on tongue and pulse, diagnosis, and Zang fu as these are extra important, and Bina’s break everything down so nicely. Quizzes are also super important and they mimic the exam pretty accurately. The exam is hard, but with good exam preparation is very much doable.

I only have good things to say about TCM seminars. Course prep was awesome and customer service was top-notch. I highly recommend Bina to anyone who is preparing for a big test and wants to pass on their first attempt. Thank you Bina and and TCM Review Seminars for being part of my journey to getting licensed!
