At age 56, it was most intimidating to be required to take the National Board Exam after being out of graduate school for over 20 yrs. My first exam was taken (1995) in a state that administered an equivalent exam but upon moving to NC, I was required to take the ASWB National Exam.   Your study system was excellent in preparing me for the exam.  The lectures as well as the practice tests were clear and informative.  It would be great if this study material could be incorporated into a class for graduate students. I got 134 questions correct out of 150.

Today I passed the California LCSW Clinical Vignette Exam! It is honestly because of TDC that I passed my exam. I prepared for about 2 to 3 weeks and repeated the information on this study bank for about 3x's. I did not use any other study bank but the Therapist Development Center . At first it felt short but I had so much faith in it that I continued reviewing the material. I went into the exam feeling a sort of anxious but also feeling confident in my ability to pass this exam . I won't deny this is a hard exam -but totally duable!

After failing the exam the first time I was devastated. I thought that the info I received from different companies got me where I needed to be. I was wrong. Once I studied the information on the Therapist Development Center I thought, "Where is all the pages and pages of information; this seems too easy." I trusted in the process and followed the directions and I was surprised how simple the exam ended up being the second time.

That was the worst test I've ever taken.  Learning the rationales, imagining WWAD (what would Amanda do?) and following the test day strategies helped me through the 200 gut-wrenching questions and PASS! I will be signing up for the clinical vignette course right after I finish writing this sentence.

Thank you for a great study guide! I was very nervous to take the exam but after using this study guide I felt very confident. It was wonderful to have an answer to a question less than 24 hours after it was emailed. Thanks for a great study guide.

I'm happy to share that I passed the test yesterday!! I started my studies with another organization's materials which I found to be extremely bulky and not well organized (not to mention, a tough graphic layout that made it feel as though I was reading an encyclopedia). I switched over to TDC when I found some practice questions online, read some of the blogs and found the style to be very clear and very well organized. The accessibility of staff (including Amanda's call to address some of my anxieties) was helpful as were the study and test-taking strategies.

I passed the LCSW this morning!!! Thank you for the excellent program. I will tell any one who needs to pass this type of exam to TDC

This was the perfect program, the tips and items reviewed were exactly what was on the exam! I have to admit when I first bought the program I freaked out over the cost and thought I had what I needed from taking the ASWB exam, wouldn't gain anything from recorded lectures and tried to return it... Amanda called me personally from her cell phone in the evening no less, talked me through my concerns and anxiety and allowed me to try it free for a week. I tried it out and knew from the first lecture it was spot on.

First, thank you. I had failed on my first attempt on the Clinical exam, which was very disappointing since I had purchased materials from another company and was very diligent in my preparation. Your system to prepare for the clinical exam was very thorough and relevant, unlike my previous preparation. I only wish I would have known about the Therapist Development Center prior to taking the Clinical exam the first time. I followed your study system exactly as it was laid out and I had no problem passing the exam with flying colors. Thanks again.

Your programs was spot on. I realized the value in your program when I heard your explanation of the study guide and test mentality. Thank you for creating this program.
