This system was awesome! The quick studies studies were helpful to review throughout the study process. The audio rationales were informative and helped me recall a lot of information that Amanda went over. The test questions were similarly formatted to the actual test. Overall, I was pleased with the program and passed my LCSW test with flying colors!!
I had used another study guide to take my LCSW test and failed it the first time. I knew I wanted to have something that would help me study and learn in a multiple of ways, so I started Googling and found TDC. So glad I did. The coach was fantastic and helped me understand things along the way and clarified when I didn't understand. The mini quiz, study guides, and audio are all fantastic. I had so much more confidence going into this exam than the last one I took. I'm very grateful for TDC and highly recommend them!
Thank you for your educational program that helps so many like me prepare well with updated information such as detailed changes in the DSM 5, outlining differential diagnosing, encouraging eating prior to the test, taking a break and especially "learning how to think." The audios were pleasant and easy to listen to even while multitasking! :) It is great to have support and support others through the blog. I will miss it!
TDC really prepared me to conceptualize how to address each scenario versus simply memorizing concepts. The practice quizzes were easy to do in my breaks, the audios were easy to understand and follow, and with my busy lifestyle, I loved the quick studies! Thank you TDC family! I appreciate the easy request process to extend my program too, with planning a wedding at the same time I kept pushing back my date, but TDC made it easy for me to still have everything I needed available!
The techniques and materials found here are absolutely the best around. I recommend the Therapist Development Center as the only study plan for the LCSW test.
This prep system was really helpful to me. I think what was most valuable was the practice. Learning to think the way the test authors did about all those "first", "most" and "next" questions. The practice also helped me learn to attack the test, as Amanda advised. It would be so easy to get lost in the weeds debating between two answers. It must have worked, I finished in 2 hours. I scored 125 correct on a version which used 99 as a passing score.
Excellent experience with TDC! I don't think I could have done it without TDC and their amazing coaches. I feel that TDC thoroughly covers all main topics on the exam. I failed my first try by a few points and gave myself a solid month of studying for round 2. I felt much more confident my second time around. Thank you TDC! I will recommend to future aspiring social workers!
I found TDC to be well laid out, providing me with the structure to study the material. It was so nice to listen to the audio portions at all times during the day, to read the quick studies and take the quizzes, and the half mocks and full mocks were instrumental in preparing for exam day. I found the top 50 topics to be an excellent way to break down points for studying and the DSM What's The Difference helped me solidify my knowledge and feel confident on test day.
Absolutely incredible. I was able to pass the exam on my first try, 2.5 weeks after beginning this program! I am busy with three young children at home, so I needed a structured program to help me strategize my studying without pulling me away from my family. This program is well organized, clear, and gave me confidence in my ability to pass the exam! Thank you!
I took the exam in January 2018 and failed by one point. My confidence was greatly lowered and my test anxiety was through the roof. I spoke with a friend who introduced me to the TDC program. With much prayer and going through the TDC program, I went into the next exam with complete confidence and expecting to pass. I am thrilled to say that I passed the exam in May 2018. Thank you for the program!
