WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT TCM REVIEW SEMINARS
“I am beyond grateful for the incredible support and guidance I received from TCM Review and Bina throughout my preparation for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture exam. Passing this exam is a monumental achievement for me, and I can confidently say it would not have been possible without Bina’s expertise and unwavering encouragement.
The course materials were comprehensive, well-structured, and easy to follow, covering all the essential topics in a clear and organized manner. The practice questions and mock exams provided a realistic glimpse of the actual test, which helped build my confidence and reduce test-day anxiety.
What truly set this experience apart was Bina’s personal touch. Her patience, motivation, and dedication to each student’s success are unmatched. She was always available to answer questions, clarify concepts, and provide reassurance when I needed it most. Her encouragement kept me focused and driven even when I faced moments of doubt. I wholeheartedly recommend TCM Review and Bina’s support to anyone preparing for the TCM acupuncture exam. The course is thorough, engaging, and incredibly effective.
Thank you, Bina, for being such a vital part of my journey to success!”

“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 liked how each of the 12 weeks was marked with the different quizzes and videos for their respective weeks. The quizzes themselves were incredibly helpful and challenging. I learned so much from the quizzes and drills, especially the ones I got 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 every day 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 as 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 were 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 recommend this course to those who’ve just graduated and are 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!!”
CALE 2024
I can’t recommend TCM Review highly enough. Thanks to this program, I successfully passed both my Foundations and Acupuncture with Point Location exams. Bina’s approach truly transformed how I studied. Before TCM Review, I was simply trying to memorize information rather than understanding it. With Bina’s guidance, everything started to make sense. Her helpful tips on how to study effectively made a huge difference.
The course videos are incredibly easy to follow, covering all the material needed for the exams in a clear, structured way. One of the features I appreciated most was the practice questions organized by topic. Unlike other resources (such as TCM Tests, which I had used in the past), the questions from TCM Review closely mirror the format and difficulty of the real exams. The accompanying explanations for each answer (right or wrong) were invaluable for reinforcing my understanding.
Bina’s personal touch sets TCM Review apart. She was always available to answer my questions, clarify any concepts I struggled with, and provide tailored guidance based on my progress. As I approached my exam dates, she even helped me identify areas I needed to concentrate on, ensuring I was fully prepared to achieve a passing score.
I also loved the monthly live classrooms. These sessions not only cover up-to-date test trends but also give students the opportunity to ask questions and clarify challenging topics in real time. It was so reassuring to know I had that extra support.
If you’re a current acupuncture student looking to solidify your understanding or someone preparing to take the exams, I wholeheartedly recommend TCM Review. Follow the course as designed, and you’ll be well on your way to passing on your first attempt!
Thank you, TCM Review and Bina, for helping me succeed!
NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE & FOUNDATION 2025
“I wanted to personally thank you for your incredible teaching through TCM Review. Thanks to your clear and compassionate guidance, I recently passed my Foundations board exam, and I truly credit your classes for helping me get there.
You have such a gift for making complex topics feel approachable and memorable. The way you explain things and the connections you draw between concepts really made the material stick. Your calm presence and soothing voice also brought so much ease to my study sessions, especially during the more overwhelming moments. And I have to say, even the intro music at the start of each video felt like a little dose of encouragement every time (subscribers will understand!).
Thank you again for your dedication and for being such a steady presence during this journey. Your work makes a real difference.”
