I want to share that when I failed the first time I took the test and they said they would stick with you until you passed and that is exactly what they did. They gave me an extension when I asked for it. I went over the course again in great detail and I passed the test on my second try. The course works and I would recommend the course to anyone that wants to pass the test.
I would recommend the Therapist Development Center to anyone taking the exam. I thought I would never have the time to appropriately study with a full time job and family. This program strips it down to exactly what you need to prepare and sets it up in comprehensible pieces that you can fit into any schedule.
I used this program for both part one and part two. I had failed part 1 the first time I took it, but I only used AATBS to prepare. I found this program and seriously changed the way I viewed the exam. TDC made it so simple to rationalize and learn the strategies to pass! Thanks TDC and team! I am now an LCSW!!
In taking the exam I felt very comfortable and confident. The first time I took the exam I felt that I rushed as I thought I was ready. The second time I took the exam I was ready. I knew my information specially the framing which really helped me get through the exam. In taking the exam I felt like I was taking your exam. As a second language learner, I have always struggle to take multiple choice test, I felt that your material was excellent, relevant, easy to maneuvour and apply to test.
I turned to the Therapist Development Center after searching online for a course of study to prepare for the LBSW exam. I am a Behavioral Health Case Manager for an insurance company. Recent legislative changes have made it mandatory to have a license to work in certain lines of business. Because I graduated 35 years ago, creating a plan of study was a daunting proposition! A day long webinar or workshop wasn’t going to cut if for me. While I found the ASWB study guide a helpful outline of what to study, my college notes and materials are long gone.
I love this program. I had paid 1000.00 for another study program, passed the first part of the exam and just floundered when I tried to study for the vignette. I had paid for a massive amount of material with no structure and I didn't have time to memorize everything. This study program set clear structure, told me what to look for, and focused me. With this program I started studying and passed soon after because I finally knew what to do.
I am so glad that I used this program, it is so specific to the actual test. Just review everything from the program, secure the fundamental, and follow the direction. Thanks!
I'm so happy to have these exams over with, and have to say I can't imagine having done it without your program. Honestly I am very frenetic in my studying, and despite the fact that I didn't follow the schedules as they were laid out, it still provided a great format to work with. I felt prepared both with content and format of the tests.
This system worked!!! I am a 10+ LCSW that moved from NC and was trying to get licensed in CA and failed the clinical exam twice (shockingly). This test is NOT a test of your clinical skills but a test of test-taking and reading comprehension of flawed vignettes and answer sets, its honestly harder if you have been in practice too long because ones depth of experience confuses the simplicity of the vignettes. So. Yes, I passed and this system was what I needed.
This program was great. I have recommended it to everybody I know. I appreciate all the support and encouragement to not give up. It gave me the confidence to take the exam and pass. The program was truly a blessing to me. I appreciate all the staff that were instrumental in starting this program. God bless you all for the seed you are sowing in the lives of many.
