BEHIND EVERY DREAM ACHIEVED is someone's success story
Testimonials – what students are saying about us
Chinese medicine students from all over the United States and Canada have been taking our acupuncture review courses since 1997 and passing their board exams. Here’s what they’re saying about us.
Thank you so much for preparing me so well. I learned so much from the classes that I watched that I have never learned. I felt like you were able to condense the important information that was needed on the NCCAOM acupuncture session. I also liked the way you broke down the functions of each different important points that was so hard to remember, how to do the antique points phone number, as well as the YUAN/LUO/XI point sequences. I also appreciate the way how you broke down the case studies and how to choose the RIGHT choices regardless whether they make sense or not, as long as they work in the point formulas.
What’s great is that some of these point prescription I can bring it out into my own brand new practice and really see them be put to work!! I am so excited and I owe my success largely to Bina for making it more accessible and digestible and my own efforts to studying and doing my best. I LOVE LOVE THIS AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND TCM REVIEW FOR ANY OF THE PORTIONS OF THE BOARDS EXAM! I am so looking forward to taking the Biomedicine and the Herbs portion.
Sidney W.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2023May 2, 2014
Tonight I got a preliminary pass on my NCCAOM Foundations exam! Thanks to your rigorous prep materials.
Lauren G.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
TCM Review was essential to passing my foundations exam. I was able to slowly go through the videos and quizzes as many times as I needed. I am currently using the acupuncture module for my next board exam, and I will be using it again for my biomedicine board. It’s a great resource at a great cost.

Passed Acupuncture today. Im so grateful for your modules and your meetings. Thank you & thank you!
Ceilia A.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2023May 2, 2014
I wanted to thank TCM review for their support and for creating an effective study program. I was able to pass Foundations & Acu Point location with greater ease. I found the practice tests to be exceptionally helpful as well as Bina’s narrowed down information in the videos. She showed us exactly what to focus on. The information can be overwhelming, so it helped to have this guidance & structure.
Only one left to go, before I can finally move forward. Let’s go “”PASS”” on biomed.
Thank you so much for helping me review and giving me practice test/quizzes. I’m happy to say that I’ve passed the Biomedicine Exam!
Dominique V.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2023May 2, 2014
I am so grateful for Bina and TCM Review seminars. Studying for these exams can be so overwhelming but the courses kept me organized and on track with my process. I’m proud to be part of the 1 and done club for both Acupuncture and Foundations! I highly recommend these courses to anyone preparing for the NCCAOM exams.
Laura M.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
I passed the Bio-Medcine test yesterday! thank you everything you have been doing here to help with.
Qing Y.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2023May 2, 2014
Many thanks to Bina and the TCMREVIEW team for their amazing work in helping me to pass the NCCAOM Foundations board exam. I would definitely recommend the TCMREVIEW.com to all TCM students.
Jay T.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
Thanks team at TCM review! I passed all four exams the first time. The videos were an easy and accessible way to review information I learned in school and introduce topics that weren’t covered. The practice tests were a great way to reinforce knowledge. I used it both on my laptop and home and on my phone while I was out in the world. I recommend tcm review to students I tutor as well because the information is clear and concise. I really appreciated Bina’s case study strategy to eliminate down to the best answer. It definitely improved my confidence and accuracy with case studies in all the subjects.
When I first began using tcm review, I had already started using another review website. That one was wonderful (I thought) and I was doing well, but then I watched one class video from Bina and I was hooked! I discovered I didn’t know half of the important aspects I needed! I changed over to using Bina’s tcm review exclusively and within 4 weeks I knew so much more than I had learned before. My confidence went up. It was well worth the money.
I really like that Bina is available for one on one questions and that she points out things that would make a good test question in her videos. Like any other review, most of the work is your own perseverance, but I would take a walk every day and listen to Bina for 2 hours and then go back home and develop study materials or take quizzes – worked great for me and I passed on first attempt. Using her study schedule helps best! Thank you, Bina!
Greta P.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
Bina’s comments about how well your doing during the exam I feel hold true. If you feel like you’re failing than likely you’re succeeding, after 30 questions I felt that there was no way. But I passed! One and done. I’m so thankful for the help and support. TCM Review is worth it!
Paige S.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
TCM Review was an excellent choice in review materials and I am glad I choice right. Their course videos offer a tremendous amount of knowledge and is well thought out in a way that helps you better understand the material. Their practice exams are written in a way that helps you pass the boards the first time. I took my boards 3 weeks apart and felt very confident that they set me up for success. ONE and DONE!!!
Nick D.NCCAOM Foundations, Acupuncture & Biomedicine 2023May 2, 2014
Thanks for all of your wonderful videos and study materials. It has made studying for the board exams less stressful and helped me to feel prepared. I just passed my 3rd board (Biomed) this afternoon!🎉🎉
Shannon S.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2023May 2, 2014
Passed Biomedicine today – One and Done! Thank you for putting together the new tutoring classes.
Robert W.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2023May 2, 2014
One and Done on NCCAOM Herbology! Thank you Bina and TCM Review for all your help especially the group tutoring classes. You are the reasons I finally passed this exam after taking other courses and failing 2 times previously. Wish I had started with you.
Gina D.NCCAOM HERBOLOGY 2023May 2, 2014
Passed One and Done! Thank you!
Shenling Z.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2023May 2, 2014
I wanted to let you know I passed the acupuncture exam on 1/4/2023. I thought I share my experience with you so you can also share with your students.
Obviously NCCAOM is very different than CA exam (which I took about a year ago). Your review course definitely helped me to over-prepare which I exactly what we need and to pass on the first try. The outline published by NCCAOM is critical and to make sure the students study those topics exactly. You mentioned that in your intro video.
Jennifer K.Foundations 2023TCM ReviewMay 2, 2014
I’m very appreciative for having this course during my journey. I used TCM review for all three of my exams. I felt prepared and wasn’t thrown off by too much on the real exams. My advice to new grads is to go through each video in order, take notes and you’ll be fine! This is the only review course you will need to pass all three NCCAOM exams. Bina did what she said and I was “one and done”
Lyndsey C.NCCAOM 2023TCM ReviewMay 2, 2014
At the beginning of December I passed the National Licence Foundations exam! I took TCMReview 3 month preparation and review videos and my God this is something I needed. Studying at my own paste and making sure I got all the areas covered with a special attention on the one I kinda forget. How helpful it was when Bina would say in Videos to memorize or to make special attention to some lines it was actually able to guide me well through a few questions, cause I flag it in my mind.. To me Exam was hard, like a rollercoaster of short and long questions and case studies, crisscrossing and well till the end I was not sure. But one and done!
Thank you for your support!
Ruzica R.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2022May 2, 2014
I passed. Thanks largely to your great prep material.
Sam C.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2022May 2, 2014
Hands down the best review course for the money. Bina is a really talented teacher. Very attentive and provides really great study tips. Thank you for all your help with my board exams. As you always say: One and Done!!!
What can I possibly say?! I was so fearful of NCCAOM boards since I started my journey of becoming an acupuncturist. Coming from a primarily 5-Element based school, I knew that the boards would be extremely difficult. Bina has been so helpful! Each lecture was clear and straight to the point. I enjoyed studying and learning from her. She is very knowledgeable and truly wants her students to pass. I tackled each week with the end goal in mind- ONE and DONE! And that’s exactly what I did with the help of Bina and TCM Review. I’ll back next week to continue with my final board, Biomedicine. Thank you again for a wonderful course!
Mary R.NCCAOM Acupuncture 2022TCM ReviewMay 5, 2014
Thank you for all that you offer and the work you put into preparing people. i deeply appreciate having your support and the container that helped me know how and what to study. seriously cannot imagine trying to do that on my own.
I really have enjoyed your courses and I learned so much from you. I love your teaching style and it resonates with me. ….I would recommend your courses to anyone, and I have told my classmates about them. I feel like you are filling in the gaps that my education missed. I want to understand this medicine, not just pass the exams and you offer that knowledge. I will definitely save all of your course materials and be referring to them often.
Thank you so very much for all that you did for me, during the hurricane, AND taking the time to answer questions here and there!!!!!! I passed my Biomed board yesterday and am thrilled to be able to turn the page today. I was over-prepared. Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much for your work and all that you do to bring enlightenment to all of us. (2 down, 2 to go)
Laura D.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2022TCM ReviewMay 5, 2014
Purchasing TCM Review was the best decision I made. I failed the acupuncture exam two times using two different review courses and Youtube videos. So glad I found TCM Review. The classes are great and really well organized. The small group tutoring sessions are pure Gold and recorded in case you can’t attend. Thank you Bina for all the love you put into your course and supporting the next generation of acupuncturists.
Sara M.NCCAOM Acupuncture 2022TCM ReviewMay 5, 2014
PASSED my foundations exam yesterday!!!!!!!! You guys are amazing I can’t explain how much value this course had for me!! And you in your support! I seriously thought I was failing through it but I had to just stop, break it down and eliminate what didn’t belong just like Bina taught me. Apparently enough so I passed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I hired Bina for private tutoring for six consecutive weeks, and my only regret was not doing this earlier in my study process. I was struggling with one of my board exams and needed a bit more support beyond the course program. I found Bina to provide a safe and nurturing study environment, where all my questions were answered with great depth. I felt my anxiety slip away after each session and I successfully passed my board exam. I encourage anyone who is needing a little more support to hire Bina. She helped me come up with new approaches to study that were super helpful. Bina is one of the most knowledgeable professionals I have encountered within Chinese Medicine, and it was a pleasure to work alongside her. With her expertise, it is evident that she is able to create a custom study plan that works with her students on an individual level. Everyone learns differently, and Bina was able to address my struggles from the initial consultation and help me progress quickly and confidently. Thank you, Bina! I appreciate you so much.
I just wanted to let you know I passed the herbal NCCAOM yesterday (so now all four are completed) and I greatly appreciate your videos/tests and live classes. Thank you for your time and energy! I found using your material as a foundation to know inside and out, and then using TCM tests to make sure I could score a 70 about three times consistently worked well for me. They paired well together. Thank again, be well!
I passed my Acupuncture test yesterday morning! Stoked!
Jeff H.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2022TCM ReviewMay 5, 2014
I definitely could not have passed it without taking your classes. Which not only helped me pass the exam but gave me a deeper and more complete understanding of all the material. Your program does a great job relaying and TEACHING all the information. I had lightbulbs going off all the time while watching your videos and reviewing your book/materials. Thank you for providing this great service!
Originally, I took the Kim class for Acupuncture and Foundations. Both of my exams were unsuccessful. The content of the course is too dense and the constant use of Google is confusing. TCM Review is a lite version of Kim. If you do not have time for the endless google searches and tangents, but rather would like a clear and concise course, I recommend TCM Review Seminars. Bina originally purchased this course from HB after he stopped teaching it in 2008. She developed it into what it is today and then shared the new updated material with Kim to get him back up to speed when he was ready to teach again in 2014.
Bina’s teaching style is clear and concise. Her deep understanding of pathophysiology and disease progression makes her a master of TCM. Her knowledge of TCM is unsurpassed. Be sure to attend small group tutoring classes. You can also watch the recordings if you can’t attend the classes. These are gold!
Bina was available to answer all of my questions via email, through the testing platform, and by arranging a free 15 minute one-on-one session with her when I was having difficulties.
One and Done! Thank you Bina!!!!!
Stephen P.NCCAOM Foundations and Acupuncture 2022TCM ReviewMay 12, 2015
Thank you so much! God is Good!
Paula L.NCCAOM Acupuncture 2022TCM ReviewMay 13, 2015

Alice B.NCCAOM 2022TCM ReviewMay 13, 2015
I am happy to inform you that I passed my Acupuncture exam. Thank you so much for the course. I wouldn’t have struggled (even more) without it!
John J.NCCAOM Acupuncture 2022TCM ReviewMay 14, 2015
Yesterday I passed my Biomed exam too, finished in one hour. Getting structured with your review and paying attention is what I needed so Thank you!!!
I passed the BioMed Exam today. Your material was VERY helpful. Thank you so very much.
Barbara T.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I consider the completion of TCM Review’s courses to be the real measure of competency
Sean B.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I loved your videos and practice exams. I’ll be back to purchase both point location and biomedicine soon!
Mary R.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I just wanted to thank everyone at TCM for an amazing review course. I just took my biomed exam today and passed on the first try. That makes me 3 for 3 passing all my exams on the first try! One and done!
I just want you to know that your review course and your teaching was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was struggling with the Chinese Med patho/physiology. My background was an ICU RN for 30 years and prior I got a Masters in Cellular Biology. So, Eastern medicine was a different way of thinking and your course helped me learn and understand it. I was struggling, thinking I haven’t been to formal schooling and wondering if I would make it. Bought all the books, but your teaching is amazing and I just wanted you to know that. I passed on first try….I can’t thank you enough. acupuncture with your review course of course.
Just wanted to let y’all know that I took my NCCAOM Foundations module today and passed. 🤩 I am so appreciative of the amazing guidance and support you guys provide in your course.
I passed Foundations yesterday!! Thank you so much I could not have passed the test without this program.
Maria PNCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I have passed NCCAOM Biomedicine which is my last one today! Thank you for your hard work and very minute that you put on this review courses. First, this review courses definitely help me passed all exams, and also helped me be a great practitioner by enriched my knowledge from the review course. Thank you so much and your teams from my bottom of my heart!
Thank you so much! I passed! TCM Review is awesome; it really helped me stay focused as my test date came closer and helped me weed out my weak subjects.
Just wanted to thank you and TCM Review for my success in passing all three exams on the first try. TCM Review is such an efficient and effective tool for combining the vast amount of knowledge we as students have gained from our education and collectively and systematically putting it into a usable and concise exam prep format. Thanks to TCM Review I am #oneanddone on all 3 of my board exams!
Sara P.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS, ACUPUNCTURE, BIOMEDICINE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I passed my acupuncture board exam on Saturday! #oneanddone. Thank you so much! TCM Review is the best!
Sara P.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I just want to thank for all course reviews and questions on Chinese herbs. The review questions are more harder than the exam questions. Thank you for your hard works. I am really appreciated.
Today I just bought my insurance to start my business!!! I have to say thanks to TCM Review, I took all three tests and passed them the first time!!! I was so unsure, insecure, and nervous, but I totally PASSED!!! Thank you for helping me so that I may help others 💜💜
Rhonda C.NCCAOM 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Just wanted to let you know that I passed my biomedicine eam last night! Thank you for giving me the extra time. i used all the exams and made sure I researched everything I got wrog or didn’t understand. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!
I wanted to thank you for providing the amazingly helpful and effective Acupuncture study program. The videos were chock rull of helpful tips and tricks, as well as info that appeared on the test, question after question. I am so glad I decided to take your classes instead of trudging through the material alone, You’ve done an amazing job! Thank you!
I have passed NCCAOM Foundation of Oriental Medicine yesterday. All your video classes are really and very helpful! I felt that I had more then 70% study cases. I am glad that I have been well prepared from your classes. Thank you for very thoughtful and very kindness of you!
Words cannot express my gratitude for TCM Review… You have a gift of making nebulous subject matter, like TCM foundations, digestible and understandable. I took the NCCAOM foundations board exam in 2019 and failed because, even though I used a different [ … ] review course, it was still nebulous and I didn’t digest the basics…….Thank You!
Passed Biomedicine. Thank you so much! It was actually my first exam! So it was a really great start passing the first time. I took your advice and ‘swallowed my frog’ with BioMed since I was most concerned for that. Slowly working through the other 3 :)
Thank you Bina and TCM Review. Herbology = One and Done! I highly recommend taking this class if you are weak with herbs like I am. The course is clear, to the point, and well outlined. The practice tests are super helpful. You can flag test questions that you are not sure about and Bina will respond to you within 48 hours. Definitely worth every penny.
Nick R.NCCAOM HERBOLOGY 2021TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Passed Biomedicine after failing it twice before studying with another company. Thanks Dr. Robert and Bina. Make sure to watch all the videos and do all of the tests. You have to do them both.
I just wanted to let you know that I just took and passed the NCCAOM acupuncture board. I had taken and passed the biomed first, just using only (XXXX) and even though I passed I didn’t feel like I was as prepared as I would have liked to be. TCM review was SO helpful. I have been recommending it to all my friends from school who are either preparing for grad exams or board exams, and now I know that it definitely made the difference for me in terms of feeling like I was well prepared for the exam. After a little break for my poor old brain, I will be back to purchase the review for foundations! Thank you for putting together such a comprehensive course at such a reasonable price!
I just want to thank your for your teaching review course! It is very valuable for me. I really like your organize materials and put things together with comparison. I love your videos, it mad things simple and clear. I love single points material and it is so critical for the exam. You have my appreciation from my heart! I have been learn a lots from you. I will continue to learn from you. Thank you again and you have a beautiful day!
I passed my foundations test this morning!!! I am so happy and relieved. But most importantly, inspired to work harder…With all my gratitude, thank you,
I was finally one and done when I signed up for TCM Review! This course helped me pass Foundations CONFIDENTLY and even have 20 mins leftover during my test time. I had taken the exam more than once before after using other review sites and felt like I needed at least 20 more minutes to complete the exam. This time when I passed, before pressing that End Test button, I already knew that I had passed based on the way I felt during the questions. Bina’s assistance through her course and her online support were instrumental in allowing me to absorb the material needed to actually learn the information and pass the course with a sense of ease.
I am writing you this email as a huge THANK YOU! I passed my Acu Board Exam yesterday morning and I am the happiest person on the planet right now. Your review classes are amazing! I couldn’t have done it without your guidance. Your classes truly prepared me for this intense and difficult exam.
Thank you so much for preparing me and giving me the confidence to test.
In studying Herbs, many lessons have been learned. How I learn became number #1.
With Bina’s Course, I was able to calmly strengthen my understanding of Chinese Medicine. Before delving into each category, an introduction of basic theory set an overall tone especially for the Formulas.
Advice was given to the students to adjust the study schedule for and when life events arise, which I felt more and more comfortable and confident to take seriously.
Previous attempts of failing, and having up to 40 minutes remaining of the test on several occasions, forced me to calm down between questions. (I used the crossing hands and ankles and breathing as well as imagining I was doing martial arts forms.)
Also, I appreciated the various extensions and workbooks and flashcards that gave both physical and emotional support.
Pretty much, if I can take several years to Pass, so can everyone!
Taking Bina’s herbology course was the best decision I made. Between the study schedule, the new formula videos and the quiz bank, I aced my exam on the first try. Thank you Bina.
I passed Foundations on 8/3/21 on the first try. Your course was absolutely essential for me to review foundations. I’m a business owner and a full-time mom with my husband working nights at the hospital, so I can’t express how grateful I am for this course. On to the next one!
Just a quick note to let you know I took my Acupuncture Board on Saturday and passed! This is the second exam I passed on my first attempt. So grateful for your program!
I am now onto Biomed and looking forward to the same excellent results! Thank you for this fabulous resource !
Tough test and great review. Thanks for being available to answer all my questions and fully prepare me for this exam. Listen to what Bina says. She is the TCM Sherpa for us student. Do exactly what she says you and you are sure to pass.
Taylor M.NCCAOM Biomedicine 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
Thank you, thank you, thank you Bina for putting together such a great course for Acupuncture. I could not have passed without your guidance and support. One and Done!
I wanted to THANK YOU Bina for putting together a great prep for Foundations/ Nationals , I did very well and I was so grateful to have prep with TCM Review !! The best !! Everything I needed to know was exactly part of the modules and the tests were right on point !! YAY!!
I passed Foundations on Saturday. Using TCM Review Seminars was the best decision I could have ever made. “One and Done” is real! The test anxiety that I’ve suffered with for 4 years is completely gone. Thank you Bina for such a comprehensive and well designed program. On to points!
I passed {Foundations], One and Done! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your instruction has been invaluable…. and wanted to share my excitement and appreciation!
I just wanted to express my gratitude for TCMReview, I passed my foundations exam today! Thank you for your help.
Holland B.NCCAOM Foundations 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
After completing your courses for Foundations and Acupuncture, I’m happy to say that I passed both exams with flying colors…..Thanks for making this process enjoyable and fun. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it all without you! I’m so beyond grateful for your work and will always recommend your course to every student I know!

I want to thank you for developing an excellent review program and compliment your efforts to stay current with the changing testing environment. I did not pass this test the first time after completing a review with another company but felt totally prepared after 11 weeks working thru your course.

Acupuncture 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I passed my NCCAOM acupuncture exam today!!! I can’t believe I passed. It was so hard. I wanted to thank you for such an amazing program and for all the vast knowledge, tips and helpful test taking techniques. You have the best program out there and you should feel proud of for all that you offer those trying to pass these extremely difficult tests.

Passed NCCAOM Acupuncture and Points exam Today :). Thank you for creating such a great review course that is organized, comprehensive and easy to follow.
I am so grateful to have had the guidance from Bina and TCM Review. The course took a huge amount of stress off my mind in that I didn’t have to worry about what to study, as TCM Review presented it all in a wonderfully organized and user-friendly format. I enjoyed logging on each day and working through the videos, handouts and practice tests. I found that Bina and her staff were promptly and thoroughly responsive to questions, which also was a stress-reducer. I found the course materials tremendously helpful and invaluable study tools. Not only did TCM review help me to pass my Board exam, I know that I will be a better clinician after having taken the course. After graduating acupuncture school, I felt that there were several hazy areas or loose ends that weren’t fully clear to me. After all Bina’s tutorials and studying the course materials, several concepts were made completely clear, which I appreciate tremendously. Thanks, Bina!
I just passed Foundations after not passing it using other study materials several times. Thank you thank you thank you so much! I am so thrilled and deeply grateful for your program! This really was one and done once I started your program!
I just wanted to let you all know that I passed the Foundations exam!!! YAY!!! Thanks for all your guidance, Bina. Your course is above exceptional and beyond amazing!!! I really enjoy the way you explain all the facets of TCM. You have a unique way of looking at things and bringing the information together that is so helpful to learning and remembering the material. I cannot thank you enough for this course and your insight into how to study this material and ultimately become a better practitioner and doctor of TCM.
Thanks to TCM Review I passed my NCCAOM Foundations exam on the first try! I’m so grateful! Loved the study schedule – it helped me stay focused and motivated. Thank you Bina! : )
I’m so grateful for TCM Review courses. I was able to pass three of the exams thanks to Bina and her team’s expertise and am sure I’ll pass my last Herbology exam with her help as well! I love the new study schedule setup and really felt prepared and that all the information was covered that I needed to pass.
Corina C.NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE, BIOMEDICINE, AND FOUNDATIONS 2020TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
The foundations/biomedicine courses are excellent at preparing you with all the information and fine details that you need to know from basic theory all the way to in-depth pathology. The practice questions and case reviews are what I used the most and passed both in my first time! Thank you again :)
Sahib S.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS AND BIOMEDICINE 2020TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
I have taken two of the NCCAOM tests and passed both of the first time. I have to say that I did one week of TCMTest and then yours and found yours to be more complete and thorough. I thank you for having a review that exceeded my expectations and made me more prepared then ever. ONE AND DONE!!!!! One left to go.
Patricia W.NCCAOM BIOMEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 2020TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
I passed my exam (Foundations) thanks to the TCM review. During my commuting time, I always listened to Bina’s lectures. I focused on the areas I was not familiar with (i.e. nutrition, Wen-Bin, Sanjao theories, channel theory, etc.) and I listened repeatedly- literally every day until I got it. As I am not a native English-speaker, Bina’s easy-to-listen, clear and concise explanations on what to expect in the Board exam really helped me. Thanks Bina!
Unfortunately I was unable to focus on studying for the NCCAOM exams while I was in school. I graduated in December and decided to take my exams a month later. I decided to purchase this course in order to organize and structure my review. I binged every day without working much and followed everything Bina told me. It was a very daunting task but I pulled it off and passed my Foundations and Acupuncture modules. I am very thankful and relieved. One and done!

I can’t say one and done, but I sure do wish I had taken this review to start with! Thanks for your help Bina!!!! I’m so relieved to be done with my boards!!!!
Fran MoreNCCAOM Acupuncture 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Within the last three weeks I have taken Acupuncture, Points, and Biomed and passed all three board exams! I thank you for the intensity and depth of the courses you offer. TCM Review really helped with knowing the material rather than memorizing formulas or facts.
Mary C.NCCAOM Biomedicine and Acupuncture 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Last One and DONE!!! Thank you so much Bina for the course and confidence!
Taking the board exams was a huge undertaking for me. It took me 3 years to pass all exams. This would not have been possible without your TCM review videos. Your support and generosity made all the difference. I celebrate my success with you…than you so much for helping me achieve my goal.
Lori G.NCCAOM Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
I passed my acupuncture exam today! Add another student to your one and done list Bina. Thank you so much! Your videos and support made all the difference.
I took my Acupuncture points exam yesterday and I passed. One and done! Just as you advertised.
I have to say that I found your prep program to be exceptional. When I did Foundations, I used another program. While I passed on the first try with that one as well, I really like the way your program works and I would recommend it to everyone…………..
Thank you so much for putting so much time and attention to detail in what you offer. I am truly grateful and I will recommend you to everyone. I have Biomed left and I am confident that your Biomed course will work just as well.
A. AndersonNCCAOM Acupuncture 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
The customer service is super impeccable!!!!!! Bina answers any questions you may have and helps you understand why the correct answer is what it is. Furthermore, she wants to make sure you pass and will even go the extra mile to reach out to you if you appear to be shying away from taking the exam. The videos are full of helpful tidbits never learned before!! Thank you so much.
Cherie M.NCCAOM Candidate, Acupuncture and Biomedicine 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I PASSED FOUNDATIONS BINA:) Thank you so very, very much for your advice, incredible support and creating the best resources. You are a true teacher…committed to all of your students success🤩
T. GrecoNCCAOM Candidate, Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
Thank you Bina! I graduated in 2007 in Cali and only took the CALE. I had to now go back and take NCCAOM since I moved to Oregon. Had to relearn EVERYTHING. There is no way I could have pulled this out of a hat without you. I am all done and now I want to go burn my CAM book.
Jennifer L.NCCAOM Candidate, Acupuncture 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I am so delighted and happy to share with you that I was able to pass on my very first try! I felt very prepared using the information provided in the videos, so please thank Laura and Dr. Kat Calhoun for their time and hard work. Thank you so much again for everything this year. It’s been a long hard road of studying. Success has never tasted sweeter; the hard earned Dipl.OM (NCCAOM) designation was made possible with your help and support.
Yesterday afternoon, I passed the exam. in my first trial. I would say the test was a very challenging one. Thank you very much for your teaching materials. Without this extra training, I might take several times to pass the difficult exams.
M. PingNCCAOM Candidate, Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
Bina Jangda You are an awesome instructor. Your review class helped me feel confident on the test. There were times where I didn’t know if I was answering them right, but I kept your test techniques in my head and kept praying and pushing. Also, the One and Done mantra and visualization of a passing score helped. 😊
J. L. N. Etters,NCCAOM Candidate, Foundations, 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I PASSED!! Almost 20 years out of school when there wasn’t a biomedicine exam. Thank you TCM review. Passed on the first try:)
C. MorrisNCCAOM Candidate, Biomedicine 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I wanted to thank you for your amazing review classes. They have really helped me in passing my boards.
S. FigueroaNCCAOM Candidate, Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
Well today was a good day for passing Foundations! I passed too! Yippeeee! I didn’t overthink the questions because my mind went numb. Maybe that helped me. lol! Thanks everyone and thank you Bina Jangda
J. AurisNCCAOM Candidate, Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I took the foundations exam yesterday and passed! Woot woot! One and done, two more to go!
Alice F.NCCAOM Candidate, Foundations 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
Thank you so much for your simplified way of explaining acupuncture. I failed my first time and was so distraught and discouraged. I have never failed a board exam and I have taken many for my other profession. I literally gave up for a whole year and almost lost hope. Thank you Bina for helping me gain confidence. I passed my acupuncture board 30 minutes ago and I am completely elated….You’re awesome!
Thank you Bina! With your help, I passed my Biomedicine board on the first try last week! Thank you so much for the amazing course. I am really grateful I took it.
“…Since I last contacted you I continued with the studies and successfully passed my Biomed Board. Hallelujah! Thank you for being so kind and supportive! On to the next….”
I passed the exam!! Your site was helpful for me so much for case studies…… You are so awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to call me and talk to me……..My next exam is the point location.
…thank you soooo much for all the informative acupuncture board review videos. They were very helpful and allowed me to pass my board exam today. I’m excited to purchase the herbal class next! :)
…I took my exam yesterday and passed! I wanted thank you for your excellent prep course. It was quite helpful…I attended MUIH in Maryland, which, during my time there at least, was primarily a five-element program. Because of this, it was extremely helpful to take your courses on TCM approaches. I learned a lot that I will apply to my work with patients.
Many thanks! Keep up the good work!
Dana S.NCCAOM Foundations - 2018TCM ReviewJuly 28, 2015
With the help of the course, I passed the Biomed test to complete my certification. Thanks!
Tim K.NCCAOM Biomedicine - 2018TCM ReviewJuly 28, 2015
Thank you Bina! Much appreciated! I loved using you guys for foundations i passed very easily!
I just passed my NCCAOM Foundations exam!!! Exhale!! Thanks for all the solid advice and tutoring! 1 down 4 more to go.
Sarah H.NCCAOM Foundations - 2018TCM ReviewJuly 28, 2015
I just passed my Biomed Board. I used the tools provided through TCM Review and it made all the difference in helping me to study in an organized manner and PASS my exam!
I took my Foundations exam and thanks to your program, I passed! The last series on how pull apart clinical cases based on 8 principles was invaluable- it really saved as I was sure by the middle of the exam I would not be passing. I thought it was a challenging test.
I just took the NCCAOM points exam this week and PASSED!……Thanks for the modules, they were very helpful and provided a firm background on how to focus on studying. Thanks for helping me pass these pesky board exams :)
Andrea G.NCCAOM Acupuncture - 2018TCM ReviewJuly 28, 2015
I just passed my last board exam. It’s one I had previously failed by two points. I just want to thank you so much for all of your hard work creating TCM review seminars. I literally had no idea where to even begin with studying and I’m so grateful for your program. I wish I had used it the first time around, then I probably would not have failed.
I passed all of my board exams the first time, due in large part to TCM review. I believe TCM review was instrumental in my board exam success. This is especially true for me because I trained overseas and my tutors had no familiarity with US board exams.
To my knowledge, TCM review has a 100% pass rate for students from the New Zealand School of Acupuncture and TCM. I am well on my way to getting my state license,
The value of this course is priceless. Having attended a Classical Chinese Medicine School there was a tremendous amount of information that was new and or required a different interpretation. The recorded courses were separated into manageable sections with a succinct outline and overview of all the material required to pass. The live Wednesday night class provided an arena to clarify data and principles in addition to gaining ”pearls” of wisdom. The accessibility of Bina and her encouragement and support was invaluable. I would not have passed on my first attempt without this course. Thank you!
I just wanted you to know I passed my final fourth board of Acupuncture and point location because of you guys I really learned a lot from your review class much love.
I found the course so helpful. I had already taken the other three exams a year ago but after a long break I was having such a hard time going back to the books for the last one. I saved this one to last… I wanted Everything fresh in my head so I could work with confidence. Your course definitely took away some anxiety. There was so much to know and I’m a perfectionist ( valedictorian) with two kids and three dogs. With your review I had something in hand to summarize everything and still be there for my kids….Thank you!!
Alex B.NCCAOM Acupuncture - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 1, 2016
Thank you so much for all your support and study materials. It’s been a long road and I’m so thrilled to be done with all my exams. Thank you so much. I know I would never have done it without you.
I passed the acupuncture (linear) exam. I got the results yesterday. I am a strong student, but having studied overseas, I don’t believe I would have passed the first time without TCM Review. Thanks for all you do!!
I highly recommend tcm review, I had trouble with my biomed exam before taking their course. While taking the course, the videos and especially the 1 hour Q & A sessions with dr. Robert; I feel like I was able to review what I had learned in 3 years in a matter of months. Thanks to tcm review I recently passed my Florida state biomed exam and now am ready to get my license.
Anthony F.NCCAOM Biomedicine - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 1, 2016
Just passed the Acu-Point Location module and cannot thank you guys enough nor will I stop praising you guys!…..As a 5E practitioner getting ready to move down to Texas where all 4 exams are required…getting back into study mode was not easy. I passed biomed and foundations pretty easily but worried about things that might not have been the focus at my school. You guys made the experience one that was so much easier. I will definitely be using you guys for the herbal exam.
Dr. Kallie G.NCCAOM Acupuncture - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 12, 2016
I wanted to thank you for your great program, I just pass my Acupuncture board today and I couldn’t not had done it without all your help… Cant wait to be done and start practicing our wonderful medicine. Thank you!
Helene GCNCCAOM Acupuncture - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 12, 2016
Just passed NCCAOM foundations, thanks for the videos and all!
Arno K.NCCAOM Foundations - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 12, 2016
I want to thank you for having Dr. Pontecorvo teach with your tutoring program. His Monday live class sessions were always interesting–he brings life to the subject. He is both knowledgeable and a creative thinker. I appreciated his pictures for those of us with ADHD brains. I am a visual learner-so the pictures stick in my brain much better than the charts. Thanks for the well done program to both of you!
Thank you so much for your help and encouragement last night, it really put me at ease. I woke up, didn’t drink coffee and had a big fat sweet potato with avocado and tried to stay calm. I went really slowly with the questions …. the program with you guys really help prepare me for the exam. It’s just amazing how much MORE information there can be. If I could do it again, I would have come to those study sessions every week for at least a month! Thank you thank you again
I just wanted to let you know that I feel I’ve turned a corner with my Tcm understanding because of your classes. Thank you for your dedication and willingness to teach and record the information that you have. In many ways I feel I was cheated from this kind of knowledge in my education, or at least this depth of dissecting the knowledge. I’ve basically had to relearn 60% of what I was taught in school.
L. A.NCCAOM Foundations - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 12, 2016
It’s been more than half year since my membership of TCM review expires.
Thanks for your support, and today I passed my last module, Biomedicine. Probably the hardest module of all.
Now I am ready to get my NCCAOM certification. Thank you!
I wanted to…let you know that I passed my foundations exam this past weekend. I literally could not have done it without your help! Your videos, quizes and Wednesday discussions were exactly what I needed to pass. This was my 3rd time taking it and I have never felt more confident going into a test in my life. I did the tcm tests Simple cases, complex cases and layered cases as well as a study prep, but just to measure if I was ready. A lot of people and the other times I took it I was coming down to 10 min left…3 min left and I heard people were running out of time…..when I finished my test I had an hour and 9 min. left over…Thank you so much!
I just want to let you know how Great This review has been for me. I’ve taken 3 of my 4 board exams passed with flying colors. Thank you for having this available for us.
I did in fact PASS FOUNDATIONS!!!! Thank you for your wonderful help on how to look & break down case studies. It helped immensely!!! Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know without your help I would have struggled on those behemoth case studies. What you do really does impact our life & I know you help many others, but I am very grateful. You will forever be in my heart!
TCM Review was the tipping point in terms of passing the Western exam for me. It has the most relevant questions in the quizzes and a Monday night review with Robert that is just invaluable. Thank you Bina for organizing the material in a way that is digestible for those studying for the exams. I highly recommend TCM review!
Phil V.NCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2016
…I took NCCAOM Foundations yesterday and passed. I’ve struggled throughout my acupuncture education with exams and I credit your reviews for helping me succeed! The way you cut through the extra information and help me look at the key differences in syndromes has been invaluable not just for my exam-taking skills, but in the way I can now synthesize long term memories with the refreshed information. Your reviews are helping me be the diagnostician I want to be….Thank you again!
I want to thank Bina and the Rest of the Team at TCM Review Seminars!!!!. I have completed and passed all 4 medical boards with a Month and a half left to graduate. I owe the review a tremendous amount of gratitude for their time and knowledge Thank you once again!!!!!
Thank you Bina!!!!!…And thank you so much for all your help and support in studying for the NCCAOM – I am soooooooo grateful I chose to take your program…it made a huge difference in my passing all four boards on the very first try.
I failed the nccaom point location the first time I took it. It was a weak subject for me to begin with and I was unsure how to prepare. I was referred to tcm review seminars from a friend. I thought the price was reasonable so I went for it. It completely clarified and organized how to prepare for the exam. I felt like my studying was worthwhile for a change. I went in feeling confident and passed!
M. MillerNCCAOM Acupuncture - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I passed my biomed board exam…I appreciate the time and services you and your team provide and for helping with the process. Much thanks!
S. SisnerosNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
Dear Bina, I passed the Foundation today! I am so lucky because I have studied with you, and followed your every key words. The exam was heavily loaded that what I felt, but I used the strategy which you taught us. I just be able to manage the right speed and pick up the right answers today.
Z. XuNCCAOM Foundations - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I passed all my NCCAOM exams on the first try. Thanks to TCM Review and TCM Tests. It’s a winning combination and the only way to go when considering what to use to pass your NCCAOM exams. TCM Review classes are well-organized and detailed. The teachers are experts on the NCCAOM especially Robert Pontecorvo for Biomedicine and Bina Jangda for foundations and acupuncture. I am so glad I found this course.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for all of the work that you have done with TCMreview.com. I passed BioMed this past weekend and I definitely have TCM Review to thank for that
J. RosemanNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
I took Biomed first- last Thurs- passed first try! Woo hoo! Thank you!
W. MillerNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
I want to extend my gratitude for all your help and say how wonderful it was to have the help of your tutorials and study guide. I passed my Acupuncture points exam (which was my final of the 4 exams to complete for the NCCAOM certification). I am finally applying for licensing in the State of Florida and look forward to being apart of the Acupuncture world. Thank you kindly for your knowledge and continuous efforts in helping students all around the US in fulfilling their goal of becoming certified and licensed acupuncturists.
A. GonzalezNCCAOM Foundations - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
Just wanted to thank you for your review course, your support, encouragement, and for making yourselves available via phone and e-mail throughout the process! Less than an hour ago the words; PASS were on the screen after my exam!
J. SolomonNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
I am so pleased that I purchased your module course review! Having passed my original boards over 15 years ago, I was really worried about the test and how different it might be. I enjoyed watching the online courses and reviewing the material that way. However, I think that using the material along with taking the quizzes over and over probably benefited me the most. Although the test got progressively more difficult, I felt prepared for the case study style questions throughout. Thank you!
J. NafeNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
I passed my Acu and with the point location that I took the exam on the early Feb. Thank you so much for your great help. I would not pass it without your reviewing course, thank you very much!!!
Z. XuNCCAOM Acupuncture - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
Hey Guys I wanted to let you know that I passed my Last National Board – BioMed…..It was great to have the open questions and the step through layout – it really helped keep me on track and staying motivated. Thanks again for all of your help!
Scott H.NCCAOM Biomedicine - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
You are so nice, so smart, so down to earth! I love studying with you!! Thank you for helping me pass foundations!!!
I took my Foundations test on Friday and passed. I really credit your review class for the knowledge I needed to be successful on my first attempt at the test. I found your format much more helpful than tcmtests which so many people use. I have recommended your program to several people.
J. ConnellyNCCAOM Foundations - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
I passed foundations today!!! This was my second go round on this board and what has always been my strongest subject. Failing it the first time left me very uneasy. It didn’t take long into the TCM Review course to identify my weakness and quickly bone up on it. This course encompassed everything I needed to pass and I’m so grateful for it.
M. MillerNCCAOM Foundations - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
