Social Work

So many thanks to Bethany, Amanda and the TDC study system!!! I passed my ASWB clinical exam on the first try with a score of 120 and I only needed 101 to pass. I went through the system two times and got a little worried when I only got a 75% on the second full mock, but Bethany reassured me that I was on track and gave good advice about how to structure my last few days of study time before the exam. TRUST THIS SYSTEM! This system works and the mock exams in particular were spot on and prepared me well for the exam.

I am a procrastinator by nature and I had hoped to break my habit studying for the Clinical exam. I started out good, 5 weeks ahead of my test date, however in true procrastinator fashion I waited until the last week to dive into the study material in depth. The formatting and material provided were more then adequate to feel confident going into the exam. I had some life hiccups, stomach flu the day before the test, and couldn't finish the last final mock exam and still managed to go into the test feeling confident.

I passed the LCSW Law and Ethics exam today thanks to the Therapist Development Center. It has been 24 years since I graduated with my MSW and a long time since I took a standardized test! I enjoyed the online format and the cross training. The test taking tips were spot on. I thought for sure I was failing, but remained focused and leaned in just like Robin said and I passed. Looking forward to studying for the next exam with the Therapist Development Center.

I took my LCSW exam on November 10, 2016 and successfully passed with a score of 102. This was my 4th time sitting for the exam. Preparing for the exam through the study center from the 1st step to the last really prepared me, gaining a full understanding of the type of exam to how to prepare through study materials gave me a confidence going into the testing center. This allowed me to stay focused on the task at hand.

I PASSED THE LCSW exam on 11/07/16!!!!!!! After purchasing and studying information through TDC my chances of passing the Illinois LCSW test GREATLY IMPROVED. On many occasions I prayed and cried for such a program as TDC as well as a coach attached with it. My prayers were answered: I met Coach Bethany Vanderbilt. She was so very knowledgeable, patient, and provided great advisement. For example, it was determined I required additional testing time and snacks during the exam. I requested 'Special Accommodations' due to being a chronic pain patient and experiencing test anxiety.

Impressive system! I loved how TDC and Amanda Rowan are realists and brilliantly capitalize on how to best use long-term and short-term memory to pass- which I did! When I was pressed for time and had too much to juggle, I just followed the basic TDC system, and I passed. However, I saw that if I wanted to go above-and beyond, there were methods for that too, but it wasn't necessary.  There are no other systems like TDC. I did overkill and over spending to find that out the hard way. Save yourself from that lesson and get TDC!

I passed my LCSW exam on the first try thanks to TDC! I have been out of grad school since 2003. I don't remember everything I learned in school and at this point we even have a new DSM! I tried studying on my own, but was too overwhelmed. The exam content outline and KSA's at ASWB terrified me! How could I possibly study and know everything on those six pages? I chose TDC because I was inspired by the testimonials and the fact you'd be with me until I passed (which was a valid concern of mine). I listened to every lecture (many more than once), took notes and then made flash cards.

I spent 8 months studying, I felt I was clear on terms and recalling information, but still felt anxious about passing the test. As I started the test I was nervous, but after the 5th question I began to relax because the information I obtained from the TDC course was clear on the test. The questions were very similar to the practice test. As I took the test I felt confident and well prepared. I finished the test with still one hour remaining. In the end it was a great experience. Thank you TDC for helping me pass the ASWB exam!!!

With all of life's stressors, I thought the Therapist Development Center study center for the Clinical exam took out the guess work and let me focus on the material. It was set up in a structured way in order to keep me task focused, however, let me determine the time I needed to complete the material. I felt prepared and took my exam today and PASSED! Thank you so much, I will definitely recommend to others!

The material and tips TDC provides laid a solid foundation for me going into the exam! I followed all the recommendations and walked away an LCSW :)
