The TDC study materials were excellent. The day of the test I felt prepared and after taking the test I felt confident because all the topics were covered in the study materials. In addition, I love all the additional study tips such as exercising multiple times a week, snacks etc.
I was a bit worried about how prepared I was considering I scored low on the final mock exam (66%). I reviewed the exam questions and did well on the quizzes after studying all the terms. What TDC really helped me with was how to think through the questions to get to the answers. Knowing this is a reasoning based exam and to be ok with uncertainty were tips that truly helped me during the exam. Thank You TDC for helping me finally get through this examination process to my license!
Thank you TDC for all your support!!! I passed the ASWB Clinical Exam for the state of California today. I felt well prepared while taking the exam. I highly recommend your program. I passed the test on my first try! The mock tests help me the most. The test version I took was more of critical thinking than recall questions. I am so grateful that this program was created. I had used another program for the Law and Ethics and I felt so unprepared when taking that test.
I loved the schedule. It took all the guess work out of what, how, when, and how much to study for the exam. The biggest pointer for me was to slow down, read every word of the question, and make sure I understood exactly what was being asked. Because of this I took the entire time and barely made it through the 5 questions I marked to review. I will be back when it is time to prepare for the next part.
Thank you Therapist Development Center for assisting me in organizing myself so that I could be ready for this test. I Passed! :)
I used TDC for the Standard Written Exam in CA and the ASWB exam and all I can say is TDC rocks! I had so much support from Bethany along the way and going into the test I felt confident. Even though I was not sure how I was doing, I felt like I knew enough of the material and had so many skills to answer the questions and try to figure it out by eliminating the bad choices or putting things in order etc. etc. It really works! Thanks TDC I am finally licensed!
I can genuinely say I passed because of TDC!!! I had the opportunity to buy another 'Study Program' at a super discounted price through my employer, and so I began to study with that one... Not for me. It confused me more than anything for many reasons including the overload of information (which I never saw on the exam), their lack of actually explaining how to answer questions and think through them to figure out the correct answer, and no real 'plan' to prepare!
I was well prepared for the clinical exam with the study material provided by TDC. I had taken the exam twice, before the restructure of the California exams, and used other study material and did not pass. I used TDC study material when I took the law & ethics and the clinical exam and passed both exams on the first attempt. The study schedule, topics covered and quick studies were all very helpful and boosted my confidence while studying and taking the exam.
I took the exam in March using the TDC. I went through the material once and felt prepared but not confident. Due to some personal pressures and timelines I went ahead with the test. I took the exam and missed it by one point. That was a heavy and disappointing feeling. In July, I decided to start studying again, this time with the sole focus and goal of passing. I read, listened to the lectures and took the unlimited quizzes more than 4-5 times each.
I had referred several coworkers to this program but had not signed up myself because I am a recent graduate and had done extremely well on the online practice exams from other companies. I did not pass the first time I took the actual Law and Ethics exam and I know it was because I was not prepared to take the exam as it is written. Ms. Rowan does a phenomenal job in rationalizing answers to assist social workers in understanding the reasoning behind the correct answers.
