How the plan sets your priorities
Your Individual Candidate Score Report (downloaded through PTC Test Hub) shows how you did in each domain. Use it to rate each one below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the AMFTRB MFT
Test no more than once per calendar quarter; each retake needs a new application, a new state approval code (except New York and Texas), and the full exam fee. AMFTRB recommends waiting at least a year after three failures, and state boards may add rules.
- The once-per-calendar-quarter rule is not a fixed number of days, so no minimum is given.
- AMFTRB sets no attempt limit; after three failures it recommends waiting at least one year to focus on preparation.
- The roadmap page says candidates testing more than 3 or 4 times in a year should check with their state board.
