Social Work

I passed on my second attempt to become an LCSW. The first time I was very close; I missed the test by 5 points. However, I felt that, even though I had reviewed a study guide and hundreds of practice questions, I was making a lot of educated-guess answers. The Therapist Development Center put me in more control by helping me break down the questions, looking at the stem, and gaining a better understanding of how the test thinks about those 'what would you do first' questions.

The TDC program and coaches were awesome! The coaches were supportive and took time to talk through your questions and concerns. The audio portion of the exam prep, quick studies, and mock exams really helped prepare you for the test. TDC taught me how to read the question stems and really think through what the questions were asking. The exams provided rationales for the answers and that really made a difference to understand why one answer over the other was the best when they all were right. I would recommend this study program to anyone preparing for the LCSW exam!

This is the best program for this Law and Ethics exam I had the privilege to have. The lectures, practice materials, audio lectures, practice tests and contents therein are explicit, easy to understand and user friendly. Other materials I used before were verbose, with grandiloquence words and confusing. In my opinion, the best way in presenting study material on this subject is by your example. I want to thank you all, but especially Amanda for this wonderful creation which helped me grasp the concept of rationalizing than memorizing. And I passed! Yah!!!

I passed and although I did not have too many weeks to study, I felt well prepared. Listening to the rationale for the tests and the 30 topics helped me incredibly! I used strategies such as taking the mock tests at the time I had scheduled my exam and I feel that worked great! I will purchase the program for the clinical exam as I felt well prepared for the Law and Ethics exam!

I sat down at 8:00 AM the morning of the exam, 10/28/2016; by 9:30 AM I was walking out of the testing center with a mark of 'PASS' on my exam. I scored 20 points higher on the exam than the required score; I feel that your test prep equipped me with the knowledge to successfully pass the LSW exam on my first attempt. I am grateful for your program, and will be sure to use your service in the future as I grow in this amazing field of Social Work. Thanks!! Thanks!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much TDC! I had taken the exam before and failed due to massive test anxiety. I returned to TDC after a break from studying and got back in the game. I felt less nervous this time around and felt confident in the material I was studying. I really attacked the test with the attitude Amanda talks about and applied all the strategy tools to overcome my nerves. It worked because I passed today and feel really proud of myself. I really am thankful for your program and will recommend it to all my colleagues and friends.

I like how the study material was arranged, it was nice and clear.

TDC study materials were very helpful, especially the audio recordings and practice exams!  I felt much more confident walking into the testing center having used these resources. One down and one more to go! Thank you!

I feel that the TDC program prepared me very well for the exam. I believe that I did well because I was able to use the practice tests and understand each topic in detail. The exam was still difficult, but I think what helped most is remembering to always air on the side of caution and choose the answer that would pose the least amount of risk. I especially appreciate the pep talk at the end. That definitely helped a lot. Thanks TDC for such wonderful study material. Now I am off to study for the next one.

I finished the program up until the practice tests. I only took one mock test and felt already very prepared. This program showed me how to think critically and reason better with real life difficult situations related to social work practice.  Like TDC says, you can repeat the program for free so if you fail, it's most likely you won't the second time. I did not fail my first time (fyi). Good luck! Thanks TDC- I much appreciate all your efforts with responding to my emails and giving me good advice and learning tools! I'll be back for my clinical exam study program on here.
