Your study program made total sense! I went into both tests feeling confident and prepared and left them feeling like they were really not that hard. THANK YOU, I am so glad this is over! I am now an LCSW!!!
I passed this morning!!!! The LCSW SWE was exactly what I expected. I think that I felt clinically prepared, but what this program does is also help you prepare and plan for the anxiety, the doubts, the second-guessing. If you listen and actually do all the strategies and stick to managing your fears, then the material you've prepared for and with has made passing this test very doable.
I am so thankful for the Therapist Development Center program! It more than prepared me to take the test and pass. Your test taking strategies that were weaved through the study materials were the most helpful! I found myself being unsure of how I was doing throughout the test and reminded myself to be ok with uncertainty. Also, all of the information you provided on the DSM and law & ethics helped summarize the needed information for the test. I enjoyed the structure of the program, with each module having a combination of handouts and audio lectures.
Thank you for a wonderful testing program!! It was so helpful and I thought the materials were very solid. I enjoyed the combination of the lectures and the handouts. I will definitely recommend your program to others going through the LCSW process and will use your materials for the 2nd test.
I passed my last exam for LCSW on 7/31!!! This program by far is the best one I've come across. I've wasted money and time on a lot of the more well-known study materials and failed, but Amanda's program does an amazing job at simplifying the material and making it EXAM focused. I love the lectures and being able to just hear her voice and understand her framings, concepts, and rationales. The pep talk was crucial. I have worked so hard at getting to this point and TDC has stuck by me until I passed—no questions asked, no judgment! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I just passed the CA LCSW clinical vignette exam using TDC. The study material is focused and targets the actual exam material well, especially for the standard written exam. I am a self-proclaimed horrible test taker, but through focusing on the strategies taught through TDC, I was able to gain confidence and pass both exams on the first try.
I used AATBS for the 1st exam; there was so much material & I was completely overwhelmed trying to learn everything. I studied for MONTHS! I passed the 1st exam, but I don't know how I did it; the actual test looked completely different from the study materials I used. Even though I studied for months, when I looked at the test, I felt totally unprepared. Not to mention, I spent a ton of $$ on different components of the study program w/AATBS.
I was in the exam and did hear Amanda’s voice as I went through the rationale in my head while deciding which option was the best answer. This was the strategy that likely helped me pass. Great study program!
It was very helpful and one of the programs that was most similar to the actual exam. I liked the structure of how it was broken down into steps, which made the test more approachable. In addition, I want to thank the exam coaches. Each question I had, they answered with a thorough response and in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this program to others.
I am extremely grateful for the TDC program as I passed my LCSW exam today. For many of us, the thought of the exam is daunting. There are many study systems available but, by far, I believe TDC is the best. I was drawn to the program's glowing reviews and I have to admit, I wondered if it could really be true. I am a frugal person by nature and didn't want to waste money on a program that was ineffective. TDC is worth every penny paid.
