Social Work

I passed!!! Thank you so much for your help and the materials included, ESPECIALLY for the words of encouragement along the way.  I did take the LMSW (non-clinical) exam several years ago a couple times and was discouraged that I didn't pass then, but then had some practical experience in the meantime and used the TDC methods for the past 2 months and went into the LCSW exam confident with the support of prayer and "Eye Of The Tiger" song by Survivor blasting at 7:30 in the morning in my car.

I passed today on my first try! Thank you so much for creating the most organized study system and for always getting back to me quickly when I had questions! I had a lot of test anxiety and your tips really prepared me to get though it! The fruit and juice also helped immensely, it was like recharging my brain power. I'm definitely going to purchase the vignette exam study materials from TDC. Thank you!!!

Thank you for providing me with the comprehensive study materials I needed to pass the exam.  Your materials were excellent and gave me confidence in my skills and knowledge.  I will recommended your program to others.

Thanks so much! I could not have passed without the Therapist Development Center Prep course. I greatly appreciated this excellent course. I will HIGHLY recommend this to all I know in the SW field who are struggling to pass this exam.

I used AATBS and TDC and found TDC to very user friendly!  Definitely alleviates a lot of anxiety as everything is very well organized! I appreciate having frequent access to the lectures and most importantly the rationaels! TDC's strategies were very useful while test taking!

I almost had an panic attack as I was handed the paper that indicated if I passed the LCSW standard written exam. That was one of the most difficult 4 hours of my life. I was very uncertain of how I did; as you mentioned that would be a normal feeling. I had a huge sense of relief when I saw the words CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks for helping me overcome this personal goal of mine. I am looking forward to the next test with my new confidence.

I have been out of Graduate School for 17 years.  I am so glad I found your system. It kept me focused and organized.  It also helped me to identify my weak areas so I could focus on those. The mock exams helped me to practice taking the real test and the recommendations for taking the test really helped.  Thank you!

On 4/18/14 I officially became a social worker, what a great feeling. I would like to thank Emily and Amanda for the development, execution, and support that this program offers. I was confident and well prepared. The importance of this program can not be overstated. I can honestly say that I feel I have learned more in the last 3 months, than I did in 2 years of grad school. It has actually inspired me to continue to pursue the learning process that this program has started. I only I wish I knew about this 4 years ago.

I found the thinking that TDC put into designing the program for the Written Exam fabulous. TDC's ability to put together behavioral and neuroscientific information was very creative, helpful and in the end, effective.  I found that the program's emphasis on using relaxation and imagery coupled with the hammering home of this test being mostly an exam on reasoning and picking the "best answer" not the "right answer" extremely helpful. I look forward to now studying for Part II - the Clinical Vignette and passing.

I passed my LCSW exam today!  On my first try too!  TDC prepared me for the exam and I went in feeling confident.  There were no surprises on the exam and I felt well prepared for the exam.  I can't thank TDC enough for helping me lower my anxiety about the exam and helping to focus my studying on the material that was important.  I completed the program in 3 weeks. Thanks again, I couldn't have done this without you!
