I put all my faith and trust in the Therapist Development Center's study material once again, and was not disappointed.  I just passed the clinical vignette exam and am officially an LCSW! I used TDC's study materials for both of the LCSW exams as recommended by a friend.  I did not use any other study materials from other companies and did not need to.  I had started to look at AATBS sample materials before purchasing TDC's material and found it to be confusing.  TDC's study materials are comprehensive and easy to understand.

I didn't pass the vignette exam the first time because I rushed through studying and didn't fully learn and utilize the strategies taught and I ran out of time on exam day. The second time around I focused on strategy including frames and using my "X's" with confidence and I finished with 20 minutes left and I passed with confidence!

The Therapist Development Center really prepares you for HOW to take the test. The pep talks were so helpful, reminding you of how to talk yourself through the question and sometimes how to pick the best of the worst answers. I am looking forward to using the TDC study material for the second test, as well.

I've told SO many people about this system.  Prior to learning of this system, I took the exam and missed it by three points.  I was devastated and very hesitant to take the exam again.  I felt like I KNEW the information but applying it in the way that the test required was very difficult.  After using this system, I felt much more confident and passed the exam by leaps and bounds.  I will definitely be back when I'm studying for the LCSW and I will not be utilizing any other study materials!!!  Thanks

With the help of TDC, I was able to successfully pass both the SWE and CVE only 8 weeks after finishing my clinical hours. Had I gone at studying on my own without TDC, I'm sure I wouldn't even be close to taking even just the first test. TDC takes care of supplying you with all the materials in a way that is both organized and easy to understand. It was worth every penny, and I highly recommend this program to anyone preparing to take the LCSW Exams.

Today, I am an LCSW thanks to Amanda Rowan and The Therapist Development Center team!

I passed both exams on the first try using TDC's study materials! Before learning about TDC, I had used another study program for the first exam and with them, failed twice. I was overwhelmed with all of the study material, was left feeling confused and was ill prepared. The actual test was nothing like my training.

I took the CVE on November 25th and passed on my first try. I am going to celebrate Thanksgiving by giving all my thanks to the Therapist Development Center. I have never felt so confident about tackling a test in my life until I found this system. Amanda, you are my personal savior! I cannot thank you enough for developing this program. I feel like I wasted $1200 on AATBS (I purchased it a few months before I learned about TDC.) When I started cracking open the AATBS study material I knew almost instantly that something was wrong.

I must say how AMAZING this program was. I used Gerry Grossman materials for the first exam and there was just way too much information to process and a lot of the information was not covered on the actual exam. Your materials and focus on the strategies of HOW to take the Clinical Vignette Exam was so beneficial. I went into the exam confident despite having extreme test anxiety and actually walked away feeling like your process made the test seem easy. I also utilized the Coach prior to my test who put my mind at ease and gave me words of encouragement.  Thank you so so much TDC!

Life came at me unexpectedly. My plan was to go through the program twice and still have time to review some more. However, I was only able to fully complete the program once. The rest of my "studying" consisted of retaking and reviewing the practice tests and then taking the final mock and reviewing it as well. The week of the test I was in a different mental state due to unexpected personal news and being extremely ill at the same time. Two weeks prior to the exam, there was no time to study, no time to relax, no time to prepare ahead of time.

I put off taking my licensure test for four years because I didn't have the confidence that I could pass it. With your study however my confidence grew each day I picked up the material. Thank you for helping me fill a lifelong dream. Best wishes!
