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.
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
I bought all the review courses but TCM Review is the only one I needed. Thank you Bina and team. Just like you say: One and Done!
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 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!
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.

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
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!
…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
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!
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 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!
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 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 let you know I passed my foundations board! I failed it the first time, and I believe that using your seminars and practicing your study habits made all the difference in the world. I was much more confident going into this exam than I was the first time I took it.
Jason CNCCAOM Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
TCM Review Seminars and TCMtests.com are the winning combination for NCCAOM board prep. You really don’t need anything other then these two sites to get you through your exams. I passed all 4 exams the first time no problem. TCM Review provides the structure and the didactic instruction. TCMtests.com is the practice ground. Don’t waste your time shifting through the others out there. These two have it dialed in!
I passed! I passed! I passed NCCAOM Foundations! And I give all the credit to TCM Review. I failed the NCCAOM foundations section 3 times and then was referred to TCM Review by a friend. Bina is incredible. I had severe test taking anxiety and was approaching the multiple choice test in the wrong way. I did two private tutoring sessions with Bina. She showed me exactly what I was doing wrong. I was able to answer the questions easily. I learned so much in this course. Not only how to pass the NCCAOM foundations but also for clinic. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
J. RosenthalNCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I passed on the first try for all 4 NCCAOM exams. Purchasing your review course was the best decision that I made. It took the guess work out of studying. I knew exactly what I need to focus on and how much time to spend on each subject. Your study schedule was extremely helpful as were the review questions. So grateful to know you are providing this service.
Lauren V.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
TCM Review helped me focus on what i needed to understand from a broad range of material for the Foundations exam, and helped me work out a strategy for approaching complex case studies (there are many!!!). Happy to report that I passed. [NCCAOM Foundations Module]
I’ve generally been a “good student”, but the massive amount of material to study for the Board left me unsure of where to even begin. TCM Review was incredibly helpful in organizing my study, and streamlining the information to make the most of the little time that i had. TCM Review’s emphases definitely emerged repeatedly on the exam. The staff was also very helpful when i had technical difficulties, patiently working them through with me. Thanks so much! [NCCAOM Acupuncture Module]
S. RumiNCCAOM Foundations and Acupuncture - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Passed all my NCCAOM exam thanks to TCM Review Seminars. Great Classes! Great Organization! Great Study tools and tips! Great Questions! It’s all in one package. Now I’m going to prepare for the CALE.
Jackie C.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I wanted to let you know that I passed my acupuncture board exam this past Wednesday 6-29! Thanks for your informational classes.
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
I passed all 4 of the NCCAOM board exams as of 7/12/22. I am grateful to the TCM Review material for helping me review.
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 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.

Anjie RAcupuncture 2021TCM ReviewMay 30, 2015
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!
Andrew M.NCCAOM FOUNDATIONS AND ACUPUNCTURE 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
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
I passed my foundations exam. Thank you for all of your help… review(ed) the Diagnosis sections again online and spent the last 2 week doing practice test on class-maker and TCM test. So grateful for your help!
D. CalabroNCCAOM Foundations - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
Just wanted to let you know I passed both ACU & OM NCCAOM Boards in NYC at PCOM!!! TCM Review course books really became my bible! The reviews were super helpful in conjunction with TCM Test. One more to go! BIOSCIENCE. Thanks so so much!
W. LaurenceauNCCAOM Foundations and Acupuncture - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2017
Thank you for your information! I passed the Foundations exam yesterday afternoon. The classes make it much easier to take the exam. Thank you all for your help.
L. SongNCCAOM Candidate 2015 - FoundationsTCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
Acupuncture module was a breeze with TCM Review Seminars. The course is organized and well thought out. The Q&A class helped me identify my weak spots so I was ready the day of the test to walk in and pass.
Victor G.NCCAOM Candidate 2015 - AcupunctureTCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I just want share a good news for you. I’ve passed all exams. I took Biomed on April, Foundation of TCM on Jul and ACPL on Aug. I attended your class last year, then I prepared and reviewed them based on all books and documnets that you recommend. I passed all exam by 1 attempt. Thank you very much for your class. I appreciated that your help.
J. FuNCCAOM Foundations, Acupuncture, Biomedicine - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
Thank you Robert for all the help in Bioscience. It was really useful to have you for a resource and a good confidence booster. I wanted to let you know that I passed two weeks ago. And thank Bina for having a resource out there for people.
P. LeeNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
Just wanted to let you know I passed my foundations board! I failed it the first time, and I believe that using your seminars and practicing your study habits made all the difference in the world. I was much more confident going into this exam than I was the first time I took it.
Jason CNCCAOM Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
Passed my biomedicine exam today with the help of TCM Review Seminars and Robert Pontecorvo. This is the only tool you need. These guys have the NCCAOM dealed in. Next test: Acupuncture
Jennifer L.NCCAOM Biomedicine - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
TCM Review Seminars made passing my foundations, acupuncture and biomedicine board exams possible. I didn’t know where to start. The classes and study schedule are very organized and the weekly Q&A classes kept me aware of changes on the exam.
Robert D.NCCAOM Foundations, Acupuncture, Biomedicine - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I was concerned about taking the Foundations exam especially with the recent changes. TCM Review got me through. Thanks Bina!
Sebastian M.NCCAOM Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
TCM Review Seminars and TCMtests.com are the winning combination for NCCAOM board prep. You really don’t need anything other then these two sites to get you through your exams. I passed all 4 exams the first time no problem. TCM Review provides the structure and the didactic instruction. TCMtests.com is the practice ground. Don’t waste your time shifting through the others out there. These two have it dialed in!
I was educated in China, and I purchased TCM review NCCAOM Full course – Recorded webinar in July 2014. At that time, I was not ready to take the NCCAOM exam, I never have any class in USA and didn’t know where to start until I found your website. I watched the videos, gave myself a year to make decision. Finally I scheduled the Foundation Test last Sep. Guess what, I passed !!! Thank you so much for helping me to build up my confidence ! I took the Acupuncture test in Nov, 2015, and passed again!!! I had the CNT this Feb., didn’t know it is so easy to pass.
H. GaoNCCAOM Foundations and Acupuncture - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
In my opinion, TCM Review is the best investment in board prep material out there. They team is caring towards the students and passionate about their work. They were available to me whenever I had a question and could give detailed explanation about the answers. Robert is very knowledgeable about Biomedicine and has been teaching nursing boards for over 10 years. I had a few private tutoring sessions with him before I took the Biomedicine module. Bina gave me a few hours of tutoring for foundations and acupuncture on the material I couldn’t quite grasp. All together a really great experience. I went into the exam confident and I PASSED!
J. WagnerNCCAOM Acupuncture, Biomedicine, Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
THANKS for helping me pass the National Acupuncture and Point location Board Exam; I have a learning disability and rote memorization and computer testing are extremely difficult for me to do. I failed the Acupucture/Point exam the first time and was SO discouraged; I wish I had known about you guys back then! I took your taped online review class, and used it as my study guide. This 2nd time I passed. YAY!!! Now I can get on with my life!!!! Thank you!!
Beth S.NCCAOM Acupuncture and Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I’m so happy to say that I have passed the Biomedicine module. Thank you for all your help! Your course was too the point and exactly what I need to prepare for the NCCAOM Biomedicine module.
I took the Foundations board exam in June, and passed on my first try. Thanks to your review classes….., I felt totally prepared and confident going into the exam. I didn’t even have pre-test nerves or anything (which is very out of character for me). I can’t thank you enough for the great work you do!!
I PASSED FOUNDATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank you so much for your kindness and patience and GOD BLESS your review course – I am so happy and relieved. It took me 10 minutes to hit the final button to end the course – I was so very scared.
S. JaegerNCCAOM Foundations - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I just wanted to let you know that I passed my Biomedicine Board this morning. I am so glad I signed up for the TCM Review seminar. It was a great help! Well done.
A. BeerNCCAOM Biomedicine - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I want to recommend TCM Review for NCCAOM board study. I studied with another woman who has been advertising on the internet. Her classes are double the price and she’s a one person show. I didn’t get the attention promised. I didn’t feel it was worth the extra money and I didn’t pass Foundations or Acupuncture. Then I came to TCM Review. It’s 1/2 the price, a team of teachers, answers withing 24 hours AND I passed Foundations and Acupuncture. In addition to TCM Review, I did 1 week on TCMtests.com. It’s was the dynamic duo. Look no further. It’s all you need!
R. JohnsonNCCAOM Foundations & Acupuncture - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
I wish I had TCM Review when I was studying for my PT boards. By far the most useful, interactive and effective program available. I’m 3 for 3 and getting ready to go for my fourth successful board exam!. Thank you Bina for preparing me beyond what I needed to pass!
A. WhiteNCCAOM Candidate 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I passed because of TCM Review. TCM Review told me what was important to know for NCCAOM and what was less focused on in the test. I was able to put my energy in studying what was important rather then what wasn’t. So glad I invested in this study material- helped me much more then others out there.
C. KovatsNCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I passed! I passed! I passed NCCAOM Foundations! And I give all the credit to TCM Review. I failed the NCCAOM foundations section 3 times and then was referred to TCM Review by a friend. Bina is incredible. I had severe test taking anxiety and was approaching the multiple choice test in the wrong way. I did two private tutoring sessions with Bina. She showed me exactly what I was doing wrong. I was able to answer the questions easily. I learned so much in this course. Not only how to pass the NCCAOM foundations but also for clinic. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
J. RosenthalNCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Passed all my NCCAOM exam thanks to TCM Review Seminars. Great Classes! Great Organization! Great Study tools and tips! Great Questions! It’s all in one package. Now I’m going to prepare for the CALE.
Jackie C.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Thank you TCM Review. I passed my last NCCAOM exam today and I owe it all to your course. Highly recommend your course to anyone preparing for their exams. You don’t need anything else.
Lisa L.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I passed by the NCCAOM Biomedicine exam today thanks to your class. Thank you TCM Review!
M. OharaNCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Thank you TCM Review! I passed my NCCAOM exams (Acupuncture, Foundations, Biomedcine)! The classes were engaging and kept me focused. Thank you again for working with me with the challenges I faced. Your generosity will not be forgotten!
Rebecca F.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
I passed on the first try for all 4 NCCAOM exams. Purchasing your review course was the best decision that I made. It took the guess work out of studying. I knew exactly what I need to focus on and how much time to spend on each subject. Your study schedule was extremely helpful as were the review questions. So grateful to know you are providing this service.
Lauren V.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Thanks TCM Review. I passed my NCCAOM Acupuncture and Foundations modules. The clear organization of the material was critical to help me pass!
Terry T.NCCAOM - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
TCM Review helped me focus on what i needed to understand from a broad range of material for the Foundations exam, and helped me work out a strategy for approaching complex case studies (there are many!!!). Happy to report that I passed. [NCCAOM Foundations Module]
I’ve generally been a “good student”, but the massive amount of material to study for the Board left me unsure of where to even begin. TCM Review was incredibly helpful in organizing my study, and streamlining the information to make the most of the little time that i had. TCM Review’s emphases definitely emerged repeatedly on the exam. The staff was also very helpful when i had technical difficulties, patiently working them through with me. Thanks so much! [NCCAOM Acupuncture Module]
S. RumiNCCAOM Foundations and Acupuncture - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
Passed all my NCCAOM exam thanks to TCM Review Seminars. Great Classes! Great Organization! Great Study tools and tips! Great Questions! It’s all in one package. Now I’m going to prepare for the CALE.
I took my exam today and I passed!! I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all the support and guidance and helpful instruction these last several months. I don’t think I could have passed without this course and the encouragement.
Sheila S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 13, 2015
Passed [ CALE ]. So grateful for your course and energy, Bina.
Mackenzie H.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I just wanted to let you know that I passed CALE a couple of weeks ago. I’m so relieved! Thanks for putting together such a great program, I felt like it also helped me round out my education and make connections I haven’t made before.
Anita FCALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Wanted to let you both know that I passed my CALE exam today! So thrilled & relieved! Thank you so so much! Your course really provided everything I needed to pass this on the first go. Super grateful for your support & knowledge!
Yasi A.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Just wanted to let you know that I passed CALE! Thank you so much for all the support. Without your course and the weekly calls, I don’t think I would’ve been able to pass.
Daniel S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Prior taking Bina’s course, I asked my ex-classmates who used Bina’s company. They recommended her greatly for passing exam. I started my preparation in last August. Because I work, I chose a self-pace course. I was able to watch recorded videos and work on quizzes daily without pressure.
Of course, I was nervous about my exam, but I passed it. I felt that I was well prepared after 7 months of my regular study. The most important I found for myself was to go over my mistakes again and again on quizzes increasing my score.
My plan is to rest a little and start Bina’s National course. Thank you for your help.
Yana S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I passed the CALE, thanks to TCM Review!!! it helped me tremendously.
Danielle J.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Thank you so very much for this amazing course you’ve created! I had many moments that helped me truly understand things in a much different er light!! Thank you!!
Samantha P.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
Thank you very much for all your lessons , online classes, and all the questions. All of them built up my confidence and I was able to pass the board exam, smoothly. Thank you Bina!
Amy H.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
special thank you to Bina Jiangda. You are a wonderful helper and a mastermind behind the review program. Without of your financial support and practicing your course, I did not pass the Cale exam. Thank you Bina for being there for me, paying attention all the time when I need. The TCM review program is almost incredible program that made me more confident to finish the exam in 3 hours and passed on the first try. Practicing all of her lectures and test questions, listen to what Bina says on a meeting group or 8 weeks of Night Live case studies classes, you can answer any question on the exam. Don’t be hesitant to take the TCM review program, I recommend to my friends. Thank you and thank you all your work for us. Wish you have a wonderful life!
Lee N.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
Thank you, TCM review for not only preparing me fully for both the CALE and National Exams; but for giving me a deeper and richer understanding of Chinese medicine. I feel more ready than ever to succeed in practice. This course is hands down the best investment I could have made for myself. Working full time while studying for licensing exams presents a serious challenge; but TCM review allowed me to study at odd hours at my own pace. Bina is an amazing teacher, and the material has been organized in a masterful way. I couldn’t believe how relaxed and prepared I was for my exam after only 3 months of studying with TCM review. Today I passed my CALE exam with flying colors and I owe it all to Bina and her amazing course.
Alex G.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
One and done’ is exactly what I did when I passed the California Acupuncture Licensing Exam yesterday. Bina and TCM Review Seminars helped me to focus in on what information I needed the most. Not only that, but I enjoyed the depth of the process more than I knew I would or could! Bina was so absolutely helpful with clear and concise explanations. She clarified concepts and answers with great skill. You can really tell she cares about her students and their success. Thank you, Bina!
Kaitelyn H.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I highly recommend TCM Review to anyone taking boards. It’s just the most efficient way to study! Bina is a talented teacher, and the course material is just spot on. I was absolutely overwhelmed with 4 years worth of information after graduation. I opted for the self-paced course, and it provided plenty of structure for me when I needed it the most. Bina’s test questions helped me to actively study and identify my weakest areas. The live case studies classes were engaging and memorable. Also, I didn’t know a thing about scalp acupuncture before TCM Review. Bina fixed that! And thank heavens because scalp acupuncture showed up multiple times on my exam today. Bina is very patient and kindly takes her time to help students understand concepts. She also provides A+ moral support for a huge exam. I’m so grateful that I passed the first time around! Thank you Bina and the whole TCM Review team!!

Hey team! Just want to let you all know I took Cale yesterday and passed it. It’s obviously a challenging diverse exam; however you really don’t need to be stressing. Bina, prepares us so so well. She covers everything. When you show up to the exam you will know what you need to know to pass. If you can get 80s on Bina’s mock then you can easily pass CALE ……..Best of luck I know you all will rock it so here is a preemptive congrats!
Kelsey R.CALE, 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
You have helped me accomplish a dream that I have never dreamt of or even thought was possible. I didn’t know how I was going to get through school or even pass the State Boards. Studying with you has been a huge blessing for me. You provided the structure I needed to stay focused throughout my studies for the State Board. You brilliantly organized each week with an important topic and went over each question thoroughly. I enjoyed your weekly case studies, because you taught us how to eliminate the wrong answers to get to the best answer. I enjoyed learning from all of your drills too. I have learned a tremendous amount from all of your videos and from your staff, they were all well done. Your Classmarker quizzes and drills were a great study tool also. Your dedication in helping us pass our test the first time around shined through with your continued emotional support. You offered to give us pep talks when we got stressed out with all of the material we needed to study. You always encouraged us to keep going and never to give up. You definitely took the word “over” out of overwhelmed with your loving kindness. Most importantly, you believed in all of us when we didn’t believe in ourselves. For all of the above and than some, I am extremely grateful for all that you have done for me. Keep up your great work and thank you for inspiring me to do and be the best I can be every day.
Ruby S.CALE, 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I passed!! Against all odds……your review seminar played a huge role and definitely helped me and so many other students to have a good solid structure to be beyond prepared for this exam. Thanks for everything and for your dedication!
Nancy P.CALE - 2018TCM ReviewJune 25, 2015
I would not think twice about going with TCM review. I worked with other review courses and if you’re looking for a non-judgemental and calm environment in all levels as you prep for CALE Bina and everyone at TCM review make that happen.
Thank you all from TCM review. I struggled to find my rhythm to be successful with CALE and thanks to the space and tactics that was provided by each of you I am able to get results.
Jacqueline G.CALE - 2018TCM ReviewJuly 28, 2015
As a former academic dean at AIMC Berkeley, I’m impressed with how TCM Review condenses the essence of what’s required for passing the CALE while offering a broad overview of the foundations of the medicine that really helps students solidify the vast amount of material they’ve been digesting for the last 3+ years. Along with dynamic instruction and supportive coaching, they also help create needed community for the AOM profession.
Benjamin D., LAc, MSOMCALE - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
Looking for a review course? TCM review seminars!!! Why? #1. Very personal course, even though the class basically on the web. She answered all the questions like in a classroom. #2. Very organized and concise teaching method. As I have a full time job, it was not easy to manage work & study. Moreover, in late January (two months before CALE) my dear father passed away. As mentally, physically I became exhausted, I almost gave up the CALE. However, this TCM review seminars was showing me the very concise way to study, I decided to try myself with the last push before giving up. Finally I received the letter “Passed”. I passed only because of this course guidance. TCM review seminars is the one I strongly recommend.
Y. Fushimi, LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
This was an amazing class and a TOTAL lifesaver. I signed up for another course at first, and when I realized what I was missing, I decided to switch over. I am so glad I did. Bina’s content and thoroughness is unmatched. She drills you repeatedly so you really know the information. I actually felt like I got to learn the information in a deeper more meaningful way, rather than JUST memorizing. (Although there is a lot to memorize, for sure.) Her mastery of the diagnosis and theory have helped make me smarter, helped me pass the test, and will definitely make me a better practitioner. Do yourself a FAVOR… look no further. Take this class.
K. Lowitz, LAc.CALE - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2018
Thank you TCM Review!!!! I couldn’t have passed the CALE without you!!! I had passed the first time in 2002 when I was fresh out of school. I then moved out of state and let my CA License expire (NOT recommended). I made the decision to move back to CA and had to retake the CALE with a rusty brain…..your course is what made me pass!!! I strongly recommend this course to anyone who is taking the CALE. The instructors are wise, caring, compassionate and know how to deliver the necessary information and keep you motivated!
T. AndersonCALE - 2014TCM ReviewMarch 7, 2018
TCM Review was the perfect way for me to prep for the CALE. I originally chose it because it was the most affordable and convenient option I found out there, but I ended up appreciating the sense of community and support I experienced from the instructors and other students even more. The online quizzes and the live mock exam helped me pinpoint areas I needed to study more, and the instructors were always there in and outside of class to answer any questions I had. I got top-notch guidance, got to attend class at my own house in my pajamas, and got the confidence to kick that exam’s a**.
Jen B., LAc.CALE - 2012TCM ReviewMarch 12, 2018
I just want to say to Bina and all the supporting members…THANK YOU!!!!!! Today I passed my CALE
Keely T.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 12, 2014
I took my exam today and I passed!! I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all the support and guidance and helpful instruction these last several months. I don’t think I could have passed without this course and the encouragement.
Sheila S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 13, 2015
I passed yesterday! Thank you for all your prep help!
Gabrielle S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Passed [ CALE ]. So grateful for your course and energy, Bina.
Mackenzie H.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I just wanted to let you know that I passed CALE a couple of weeks ago. I’m so relieved! Thanks for putting together such a great program, I felt like it also helped me round out my education and make connections I haven’t made before.
Anita FCALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Wanted to let you both know that I passed my CALE exam today! So thrilled & relieved! Thank you so so much! Your course really provided everything I needed to pass this on the first go. Super grateful for your support & knowledge!
Yasi A.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Just wanted to let you know that I passed CALE! Thank you so much for all the support. Without your course and the weekly calls, I don’t think I would’ve been able to pass.
Daniel S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Prior taking Bina’s course, I asked my ex-classmates who used Bina’s company. They recommended her greatly for passing exam. I started my preparation in last August. Because I work, I chose a self-pace course. I was able to watch recorded videos and work on quizzes daily without pressure.
Of course, I was nervous about my exam, but I passed it. I felt that I was well prepared after 7 months of my regular study. The most important I found for myself was to go over my mistakes again and again on quizzes increasing my score.
My plan is to rest a little and start Bina’s National course. Thank you for your help.
Yana S.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
I passed the CALE, thanks to TCM Review!!! it helped me tremendously.
Danielle J.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 15, 2015
Thank you so very much for this amazing course you’ve created! I had many moments that helped me truly understand things in a much different er light!! Thank you!!
Samantha P.CALE 2022TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
Thank you very much for all your lessons , online classes, and all the questions. All of them built up my confidence and I was able to pass the board exam, smoothly. Thank you Bina!
Amy H.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
special thank you to Bina Jiangda. You are a wonderful helper and a mastermind behind the review program. Without of your financial support and practicing your course, I did not pass the Cale exam. Thank you Bina for being there for me, paying attention all the time when I need. The TCM review program is almost incredible program that made me more confident to finish the exam in 3 hours and passed on the first try. Practicing all of her lectures and test questions, listen to what Bina says on a meeting group or 8 weeks of Night Live case studies classes, you can answer any question on the exam. Don’t be hesitant to take the TCM review program, I recommend to my friends. Thank you and thank you all your work for us. Wish you have a wonderful life!
Lee N.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I passsed!!!!!.. it’s all because of you Bina! Thank you so much for you help and I will try my best to be a really great healer 😃 Thank you❤️
Christie D.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I passed the CALE. Thank you for all you do and the comprehensive material you put out. Your program is truly one and done for the student who follows your direction.
Daniel C.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I took the CALE yesterday and I passed!! Thank you so much for the wonderful course. The level of detail in diagnosis, formulas and tongue and pulse was crucial to my success yesterday. Much appreciated!
Ashley S.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I passed the CALE yesterday! And to thank you so much for all your help in answering my questions…..really loved the course and think it prepared me so well! Thank you!!!
Allison B.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
Thank you, TCM review for not only preparing me fully for both the CALE and National Exams; but for giving me a deeper and richer understanding of Chinese medicine. I feel more ready than ever to succeed in practice. This course is hands down the best investment I could have made for myself. Working full time while studying for licensing exams presents a serious challenge; but TCM review allowed me to study at odd hours at my own pace. Bina is an amazing teacher, and the material has been organized in a masterful way. I couldn’t believe how relaxed and prepared I was for my exam after only 3 months of studying with TCM review. Today I passed my CALE exam with flying colors and I owe it all to Bina and her amazing course.
Alex G.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I passed my Cale exam last week and I couldn’t make it without all your support. Thank you so much!!!
Thaigo G.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
One and done’ is exactly what I did when I passed the California Acupuncture Licensing Exam yesterday. Bina and TCM Review Seminars helped me to focus in on what information I needed the most. Not only that, but I enjoyed the depth of the process more than I knew I would or could! Bina was so absolutely helpful with clear and concise explanations. She clarified concepts and answers with great skill. You can really tell she cares about her students and their success. Thank you, Bina!
Kaitelyn H.CALE 2021TCM ReviewMay 25, 2015
I just passed the CALE!!! Woo Hoo! I am so ecstatic. On this path, you have been my greatest teacher, and I am so grateful & indebted to you.

I took CALE today and passed!!! Thank you so much for your help and guidance! I gotta hand it to you, your review definitely prepares us for the test! Biggest relief ever!
Amber S.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 2, 2015
Taking TCM Review was super because it allowed for focused studying. I also am an audio learner, so listening to the video recordings were super helpful. Really appreciate it! One and Done!
Nina J.CALE 2021TCM ReviewJune 2, 2015
I passed the CALE last week on the first attempt after graduating 9 years ago, and not practicing for 4 years – pretty astounding!…. The way you broke up diagnoses and tongue/pulse/the basics was, in my opinion, the key to me passing.
Jessica G.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 2, 2015
I was beyond prepared for CALE after taking TCM Review. The course material was rigorous, challenging, and thorough. I also was able to keep on track with the weekly modules. I would definitely recommend this course, and I already have to fellow classmates.
Marion D.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 2, 2015
TCM Review & Bina’s tutorial classes more than prepared me for the California Acupuncture License Exam (CALE). CALE information is enormous and Bina’s guidance helped me successfully navigate some tricky questions. It is all in the details, and she helps you identify the very important often overlooked small stuff. I’m definitely using her for NCCAOM!
Phil R.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 2, 2015
Perfectly organized material, flexible study schedules, continuous support from a dedicated and passionate team which all contribute to a smarter way of studying in minimal time. The process of preparation for the board exam is already so stressful, but Bina made it much easier through her tremendous class and teaching method. The class not only helps us pass the board exams but also solidifies incorporated foundation of our knowledge to our future practice in TCM. She knows what you need to focus on and truly cares about you passing and doing your best.
Bina, Thank you so much for helping me succeed. I am forever grateful and it’s been an honor to be one of your students.
Maryam N.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
When I signed-up for TCM Review, I was focused on simply passing the CALE and hoped to learn the tips and tricks that would give me a competitive edge over the test. What I ended up receiving was so much more than just a first-time passing score. TCM Review gave me the opportunity to create an organized, theoretical framework into which I integrated all four years of medical school classes. It helped me identify my conceptual weaknesses and gave me new ways to understand vast amounts of information. From Shan Han Lun diagnosis patterns, to standard-of-care biomedical exams, to California practice laws, TCM Review, coupled with Bina’s deeply resourced teaching, helped build the rock-solid foundation onto which I’ve built my acupuncture career.
Don’t miss the opportunity to train with TCM Review and transform yourself into an acu-Olympian!
Ra A.CALE 2016TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
The TCM Review course was the best investment I could have made into my CALE prep. Bina understands the exam inside and out, so even though the test was definitely challenging I was so prepared that I wasn’t surprised by even the most difficult questions. The videos and practice quizzes really helped me focus my studies, understand my deficiencies, and get exposed to real CALE-style questions. Thanks to Bina I was prepared and passed first try!
Sydney M.CALE 2020TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
It’s true. As Bina says, “If you do the work, and trust the process, it will all come together for the exam.” And it did! TCM helped me to pass CALE on the first try. What I found especially helpful was Bina’s guidance on how to clearly think through and break down the case studies, which ultimately saved me precious time on the exam. I highly recommend TCM review for your CALE preparation!
Elizabeth H.CALE 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Hey team! Just want to let you all know I took Cale yesterday and passed it. It’s obviously a challenging diverse exam; however you really don’t need to be stressing. Bina, prepares us so so well.

Kelsey R.CALE, 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Passed the CALE!!! With plenty of room to spare! Thank you Bina!
My two cents: STUDY EXACTLY WHAT AND HOW SHE SAYS. Not too much more beyond but definitely NEVER any less. I spent too much time trying to memorize information that was unnecessary. It made me way more anxious.
Good luck! You totally have this if you are taking this course.
Gwyn RCALE 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Hi Bina, just wanted to let you know I passed points today so now I can get licensed at home in Hawaii. I’ve never been so happy and just wanted to thank you so so so much because I honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it without you and TCM Review! I’ll definitely be using you guys for Herbs and Biomed after I take a little break to rest my brain. Thank you!
Chelsea M.CALE 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015
Bina Jangda is a superb instructor. Through her calm and steady direction, knowledgable instruction and exceptional teaching and test-taking techniques, I passed the California exam with flying colors!!! By following her step by step instructions and sound advice for studying for this test, my confidence was increased. I routinely did the visualizations where I imagined passing the test and invested many hours of study time. The night before the exam, I didn’t think I was prepared enough and Bina reassured me that I was ready to take the test and that I would pass. She spent quality time with me on the phone looking up my current and past scores on the assessment tests, drills and mock exams. The scores were within an excellent range to pass. While taking the test I remembered many of the techniques she taught me to use and they were very effective. In my opinion, this is the ONLY exam prep course to consider taking. Thank you, Bina and team!
Anjie RCALE, 2019TCM ReviewJune 21, 2015

Ruby S.CALE, 2019TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015
I want to thank you Bina and your team. It is amazing how positive actions have such an exponential effect. In reference to the exam, I was surprised that it was not as difficult as I expected, the practices that we had in computer-facilitated this new modality, I am from the old school and I like the paper more. But thanks to the fact that we had the opportunity to practice the questionnaires on a computer, I think it was not difficult for me to take the exam at the PSI center in Santa Clara. Thanks Bina, you have a great teaching facility. And together with your team, you make a very enriching and entertaining experience in these reviews. This was a very intense year for everyone. THANK YOU. I hope the Universe will fill you with blessings, that you will continue to help as long as you can, and I hope you always remember that you are changing the world, you have already changed mine.
Itzel C.CALE - 2018TCM ReviewJune 22, 2015

I would like to recommend TCM Review Seminars to anyone who prepares for Board exams. The courses are very helpful. Bina and her team are very knowledgeable about what they are doing. Thank you so much, Bina and the whole team!
Fengli L.CALE - 2017TCM ReviewJanuary 1, 2016
TCM Review gave me the preparation and structure I needed to successfully pass CALE the 1st time. The classes and handouts covered everything we needed to know and the teachers were great at following up with questions that couldn’t be answered in class. I really felt that my success in this endeavour mattered as much to them as to me. Many thanks!
Thank you to you all. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and strategies. Thank you! I passed! I can not thank you enough. The prep class was not only enjoyable, it was fruitful. In addition, I am glad that I did the mock test. It helped me pace myself and was very practical as far as getting the feeling of what it might be like in the CALE room. I wish you all the best!
Kate M., L.Ac.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I feel very privileged to have taken TCM Review’s courses. They’re worth every penny! They help to see what’s really important in the large mass of information that is presented in school. I recommend TCM Review to all who are taking the CALE boards.
Nina P., LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I took the TCM Online Review course for the February 2013 CALE, and it was the best decision I could have made in terms of preparing for this exam, and everybody who works there is supportive and motivating. Upon graduation, I felt extremely confidant in my core understanding of TCM, but I was not fully confidant about the CALE (passing a licensing exam isn’t always limited to a reflection of what you know). Taking the TCM Review course provided a fantastic and succinct summary of the TCM Core curriculum (yes, they actually teach!) as well as providing us with tools and resources on how to become efficient test takers (how to dissect questions and choose the BEST answer). This was especially true for the formulas & western sections (for me personally). The overview of formulas with TCM Review was better than any class I had taken, and there was quite a bit in the Western modules that wasn’t covered in my classes at school. I recommend this class to anybody and everybody taking the CALE.
I am so glad I signed up with TCM Review. Their structured course enabled me to focus on the important topics and was crucial in my passing the CALE the first time around. All of their instructors are more than willing to help and are committed to your success. They break down the material into manageable sections and give great study tips which allow you to ‘just study’ and not worry about the other stuff. Couldn’t have been happier with this course!
Jenna M., LAc.CALE - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
TCM Review is a “must do” to prepare for the CALE or Nationals. The teachers are all awesome! They tell you what to study, how to study, and how to take the test. They help coach and support you from day one till you get your results. I would highly recommend taking the course twice: once a year ahead, then again just before the CALE. The first time is a wake up call to the reality of what you have to study. The second time it’s for real, and it helps to hear everything a second time. Also, TCM Review has recordings of the classes so that you can listen more than once. Repetition is key, so that was a great feature of the webinar based course. TCM Review is the best!
Chris B., LAcCALE - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017

Benjamin D., LAc, MSOMCALE - 2015TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
TCM Review is a great review class if you want to pass the CALE with ease! The class is very well organized and covers everything you need to be successful. BIna and her team are also very good at answering your questions in a timely manner as well. The class I took was online so I can take it at my pace but they do a good job of keeping you accountable with the structure of the class. The class is also more cost effective than some of the other review classes out there but you get a lot more. You get weekly quizzes and assessment tests every couple weeks as well as not 1 but 2 mock exams!!! I would recommend this class to anyone that is planning on taking the CALE.
Helen C., LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
TCM Review Seminars was INSTRUMENTAL when I was studying for my state board. There is so much information it can be overwhelming at times but Bina and everyone at TCM Review were like guideposts. There’s no getting around putting in time to study and memorize, but they kept me focused on what is important to focus on. I would not have been able to pass without their guidance. If you’re considering a review class, I absolutely recommend TCM Review.
G. KleinCALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I came into the seminar late in the game, but the few weeks of drills and support I received helped me tremendously. Bina and her colleagues are knowledgeable, responsive, and really well organized in their approach. I would enthusiastically recommend this course for anyone prepping for the CALE.
J. Moiles, LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
TCM Review Seminars is a GREAT course for preparing for the CALE (California Acupuncture Licensing Exam). I work full-time and managed to watch all the on-line classes and attend all the live practice sessions. I must admit my life became work and study for nearly 5 months, but when you get that letter saying you ‘passed’, it is all worth it! I would recommend TCM Review Seminars to anyone serious about taking and passing the CALE. Bina and her team are amazing. They are there for questions and really want you to pass.
S. Phelps, LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
Looking for a review course? TCM review seminars!!! Why? #1. Very personal course, even though the class basically on the web. She answered all the questions like in a classroom. #2.

Y. Canyon, LAc.CALE - 2016TCM ReviewMarch 6, 2017
I am so grateful for the highly organized TCM review courses! I opted for the online review course because I work full time and wouldn’t be able to attend the live classes. While there was discipline in the deadlines to watch the class, the amount of time I had to view each course made it flexible enough for me to absorb the content and develop the confidence to pass. I would recommend this style of learning for those with busy schedules and have the self-driven goal to succeed.

Taking the TCM Review Seminar was invaluable. I got all that I needed, and more, to prepare myself to pass the CALE. Bina and her team are professionals at teaching how to prepare and pass the CALE.

TCM review was my last resort for passing the CALE. I’ve taken other review courses before but was unsuccessful at passing this difficult test. I began to wonder if the problem was me or the test?
The answer became clear once I took Bina’s review class. TCM review literally taught me how to study effectively. It forced me to be more organized with my time management and to become more proactive in my daily study habit.
Bina’s lectures, notes, workbook, and practice tests are like a well orchestrated work of art! The material is clearly presented and well organized. I was able to retain all the information that is necessary for passing the state boards. I did not have to sit in a classroom, study with a group, or travel far. All I needed was the TCM review class online. Furthermore, Bina’s encouragement throughout the course is relentless. She reaches out to every student, even up to the day of the actual exam. She has a unique gift of helping each student reach his or her full potential.
After taking Bina’s review course just for the very first time, I passed the CALE. I give Bina and TCM review full credit for me passing. Words can’t describe my gratitude.
Thank you Bina!

After several years of intense coursework and clinic, I had one final hump to get over before realizing my dream of becoming a licensed acupuncturist, the CALE. I knew I had several years of strong schooling, preparation and tools at my fingertips, but my study stamina had really begun to wane and self motivating was a struggle. With TCM Review, I found exactly what I needed to prepare for the final push toward the California Licensing exam. With a clearly defined schedule of classes, homework, milestones and expectations, I was able to simply follow the outline laid before me and do the work. The community setting, drills and words of encouragement put me over the top and made for a very enjoyable test prep period. It was by no means easy, but I had the support I needed to get the job done and passed my exam with flying colors. When preparing for the CALE I would recommend two things: taking a deep breath and signing up for TCM Review. Big Thanks to Bina and her crew for keeping us calm, focused and confident.

I am super grateful to Bina and the whole crew at TCM Review Seminars. Bina’s generosity with her time, her abundant encouragement and constant availability added up to me feeling totally supported as I went through the madness that is CALE prep. The course gave me clear focus and helped me organize my study schedule in a way that would have been impossible on my own. I got a late start in studying but put my nose to the grindstone and passed with flying colors on the first try. Thank you so very much TCM Review Seminars!!

Looking for a review course? TCM review seminars!!! Why? #1. Very personal course, even though the class basically on the web. She answered all the questions like in a classroom. #2. Very organized and concise teaching method. As I have a full time job, it was not easy to manage work & study. Moreover, in late January (two months before CALE) my dear father passed away. As mentally, physically I became exhausted, I almost gave up the CALE. However, this TCM review seminars was showing me the very concise way to study, I decided to try myself with the last push before giving up. Finally I received the letter “Passed”. I passed only because of this course guidance. TCM review seminars is the one I strongly recommend.

TCM Review is a course in success. I see Bina as a disciplined sherpa who guides her students on the trek of their lives – a trek that will lead to the highest peak for a TCM student: the CALE exam. Every foothold, every path, she’s there to gently (and when necessary, not so gently) prod, reminding her students from beginning to end, that they won’t pass the exam because of her, they will pass it because of their own hard work. But, I am so grateful that she was my sherpa. Her guidance, her empathy, and her endless patience absolutely led me up my peak to great success. Thank you, Bina!

I am so happy to have chosen TCM Review Seminars for my CA Acupuncture Board Exam preparation. TCM Review Seminar pushed me to get through all the material and helped me to study in a variety of ways. I studied from their organized course reader, listened to the seminars, and followed their advice to review the material with a study partner. I felt happy and confident the day of the exam because I knew I had prepared thoroughly.

Thank you TCM review!!! You’re classes, drills and work book were just the thing for me to get organized enough to pass the CALE the first time around. I studied with my newborn and let me tell you, that was a challenge! Even with little continuous sleep and sometimes little studying, I still managed to pass. This means the world to me!!!! Thank you sooo much!!!!! You guys rock!!

I am beyond grateful for the help of TCM Review Seminars in preparing me to pass the CALE! The course and information is organized in a clear, concise manner and really helped me stay focused in the many months it takes to get all this information down. The instructors are all intelligent, focused, encouraging and determined to make each student successful in learning the material. With the immense amount of information that can be tested on for this medicine, I highly recommend going with TCM Review Seminars to help you stay focused and succeed.

This was an amazing class and a TOTAL lifesaver. I signed up for another course at first, and when I realized what I was missing, I decided to switch over. I am so glad I did. Bina’s content and thoroughness is unmatched. She drills you repeatedly so you really know the information. I actually felt like I got to learn the information in a deeper more meaningful way, rather than JUST memorizing. (Although there is a lot to memorize, for sure.) Her mastery of the diagnosis and theory have helped make me smarter, helped me pass the test, and will definitely make me a better practitioner. Do yourself a FAVOR… look no further. Take this class.

Bina and her TCM review team have been absolutely fabulous. I had originally signed up for another review class but ended up switching after seeing Bina’s format and hearing her teach. Her lectures are on point and the drills and online tests and quizzes truly prepared me for the CALE. She really goes above and beyond, and the online format made it easy to study and drill often. I went into the test feeling confident and passed the first time around with a high score. I would highly recommend this class to any student preparing for the CALE – you’ll be glad you did. Thank you, TCM Review!!!

My decision to take the TCM Review Course was by far the best choice in my preparation for the state board exam. Bina and her amazing team kept me focused, on track, helped me when I was feeling bogged down from all the studying, and somehow made it fun at the same time. She even called and checked in on me every few weeks to make sure I was okay and to see if I had any questions. She is both a professional and a friend. I tell all of my friends who are beginning the process: “you must take Bina’s course. Trust me! You won’t regret it! She is amazing!” Thank you Bina and team. I couldn’t have done this all without you!
