Social Work

I wanted to first inform you that I am finally an LCSW!!!  It has been a long journey for me in attempting to pass the LCSW exam.   I had used AATBS, Berkeley, and Gerry Grossman over the years.  A coworker told me about your materials and how it was less overwhelming and straight to the point. I purchased The Therapist Development Center materials for both the written and Clinical Vignette. I took both exam with confidence and PASSED!!!  Thanks TDC for producing and creating materials to help people reach their testing goal.

I appreciate very much your flexibility and willingness to give me so many extensions due to different obstacles that got in my way. I also appreciate how your study system really focused on the essentials - especially on clinical judgment and thinking. Thanks so much for your program and for your flexibility.

The system was so straight-forward and simplified such a seemingly complex process. I felt confident going into the exam and knew what to expect thanks to the lectures and handouts. I felt like the content covered in the program was spot-on with what was covered in the exam and I felt really prepared. I really utilized the reasoning strategies that helped me on questions that were confusing. Best of all, I wasn't driving myself crazy trying to memorize a bunch of stuff that wasn't even covered. Thank you!

This program does a great job of adequately preparing you for this exam. It manages everything from your anxiety to your intellect so you can tackle this exam with little to no problem. I passed my first time. Thank you for developing this program.

Follow the steps and trust in the material. The test strategies taught by Amanda are right on point! This program made preparation and studying totally doable (and realistic given our busy lives). I have full confidence after passing the LCSW Standard exam on the first try. I'm ready to conquer the next! Thank you TDC!

I was so nervous going in to take the exam only to find that I was well prepared and capable of passing. It was as if TDC had given me all the right answers although they were not the same questions. Only one question threw me off. Otherwise TDC covered the questions and answers thoroughly. I am now preparing for the next exam in CA and wholeheartedly hope that TDC can help me prepare for that exam as well. Thank you for creating a system that seems fail proof.

I am so grateful that I was able to pass my exam on the first try. The only two ways I finish multiple choices tests is amazingly strong or I BOMB it unbelievably. I live in Denver, Colorado and the day of my test, it snowed about 8-10" in various parts of the city. Thank Goodness! I had listened to the top 50 topics lectures before yesterday but I somehow missed the 3rd lecture.

I have been through the program twice. The first time I was a bit overwhelmed by the process as it has been over 20 years since I completed grad school and 10 years practicing as an LCSW in my home state, after 10 years practicing as a Social Worker pre-licensing era. Imagine my angst when I relocated and was told I had to take the exam. I spotted the program in my NASW magazine and signed up immediately. This program has been the best experience, a great review and awesome prep.

I felt I had the test-taking strategies and confidence necessary to successfully pass the test after using Amanda's program. While taking the second test I felt I was failing the last half and was so surprised when I passed. I kept reminding myself that many people taking this test have the sense they are failing while passing, which really assisted me with not panicking.

I passed the standard written and clinical vignette LCSW exam the first time using Therapist Development Center. Amanda researched study taking strategies and incorporated them into her program. I felt prepared taking both exams and would only recommend Therapist Development Center.  Thank you Amanda! You are brilliant for developing such a thorough and "easy-to-use" program!
