I have taken the 1st exam 3 times and failed all 3 times. I used both Grossman and AATBS and found that there was way too much information for my brain to wrap around; I immediately felt overwhelmed at the pile of books. After a year off from studying I researched THERAPIST DEVELOPMENT CENTER and was impressed with the pass rate. Upon deciding to invest the money into your company, I was very excited that I had a real person talking to me and telling me that I already knew the information but had to become proficient and learning HOW to take the test. Don't get me wrong. I had some things to learn; however it wasn't information that was TOTALLY new to me. I loved the feeling that I had someone sitting with me talking with me as I took notes and listened to the on line tutorials. I went in feeling like I knew how I would take the test vs. not knowing if I knew all the information. I passed my first test in May and decided to take my vignettes in September...just took my vignettes and passed! I am now an LCSW. I have worked by bootay off for these credentials and I am beyond proud of myself. I have shared with my other friend and student interns, and new MSWs that they need to ditch Grossman and AATBS and #gowithAMANDA
thank you
