Social Work

I would strongly recommend this program. The first time I took the exam I was not sure of how to go about studying so I went  through various social work books and made flash cards; this did not prepare me the way I needed to be prepared. The Therapist Development Center's program organized my studying in a way that worked for me. In addition to that I had explanations for why an answer was the correct one which was such a help. Having the reason and explanation helped solidify my understanding better.

I have a very busy life with four children and did not have a lot of time to study.  Amanda's program was so easy and effective that I was able to prepare in a short amount of time and take the exam feeling very comfortable. I passed it the first time and as I was taking it I knew I was passing, and even finished 35 minutes early.

Amanda's conversational and relaxed style, along with her emphasis on common sense, suited my personality very well and it made the studying and the exam feel quite easy.  Thank you Amanda!

I have had test anxiety since as long as I can remember having to take tests. The Therapist Development Center used expertise in the psychology of learning to help me realize that I could in fact pass this exam and without unnecessary anxiety or worries! I felt prepared and even excited to take the exam on test day because I knew I had taken all the necessary steps to do so. Thank you Amanda and the rest of the team for guiding me through this intimidating process!

Thank You TDC for the clear, concise and concrete way study for this exams. I took the first exam in April and did not pass. I waited the 180 days and jumped back in to studying for test one. My work place offered a test bank from Gerry and it did nothing but confuse me and lower my confidence. I quickly turned back to using TDC to hone in. I used the tools, managed my stress and passed. I turned my paper work in for the Vignette exam and got permission and took the test on November 24th and passed.

I put all my faith and trust in the Therapist Development Center's study material once again, and was not disappointed.  I just passed the clinical vignette exam and am officially an LCSW! I used TDC's study materials for both of the LCSW exams as recommended by a friend.  I did not use any other study materials from other companies and did not need to.  I had started to look at AATBS sample materials before purchasing TDC's material and found it to be confusing.  TDC's study materials are comprehensive and easy to understand.

I didn't pass the vignette exam the first time because I rushed through studying and didn't fully learn and utilize the strategies taught and I ran out of time on exam day. The second time around I focused on strategy including frames and using my "X's" with confidence and I finished with 20 minutes left and I passed with confidence!

The Therapist Development Center really prepares you for HOW to take the test. The pep talks were so helpful, reminding you of how to talk yourself through the question and sometimes how to pick the best of the worst answers. I am looking forward to using the TDC study material for the second test, as well.

I've told SO many people about this system.  Prior to learning of this system, I took the exam and missed it by three points.  I was devastated and very hesitant to take the exam again.  I felt like I KNEW the information but applying it in the way that the test required was very difficult.  After using this system, I felt much more confident and passed the exam by leaps and bounds.  I will definitely be back when I'm studying for the LCSW and I will not be utilizing any other study materials!!!  Thanks

With the help of TDC, I was able to successfully pass both the SWE and CVE only 8 weeks after finishing my clinical hours. Had I gone at studying on my own without TDC, I'm sure I wouldn't even be close to taking even just the first test. TDC takes care of supplying you with all the materials in a way that is both organized and easy to understand. It was worth every penny, and I highly recommend this program to anyone preparing to take the LCSW Exams.

Today, I am an LCSW thanks to Amanda Rowan and The Therapist Development Center team!

I passed both exams on the first try using TDC's study materials! Before learning about TDC, I had used another study program for the first exam and with them, failed twice. I was overwhelmed with all of the study material, was left feeling confused and was ill prepared. The actual test was nothing like my training.
