Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I felt very prepared for the exam after failing the first time by 2 points and AATBS prep. I experienced support, guidance and confidence as I navigated the pragamatic and interesting study materials. I was fully ready to take on the exam on test day July 31st. I felt as if Amanda Rowan was right there next to me saying "Absolutely! " whenever I recognized a correct answer. TDC truly has unlocked the logic of the Clinical Vignette exam. I can easily and enthusiastically recommend the Therapist Development Center.

I wanted to let you know that I passed the LMSW exam on August 8th!  I am thrilled.  I really appreciate the study program, it gave me a structured framework for studying, gave me confidence that I could pass the exam and I learned a lot as well.  I think the material is well organized and by following the study program exactly as suggested I passed with 131 out of 150 and I needed only 96 point to pass.

I also appreciated the phone call with my coach which was great to help me feel connected and confident moving forward. Thanks so much.

I wish I would have known about this program two years ago when I purchased the complete $900+ packet for AATBS.  The strategies and the recommendations of how to study the material are exactly the guidance that we need to pass.  I am so excited to finally be an LCSW and cannot say enough great things about the Therapist Development Center.

I was using another company's materials and was frustrated that I "wasn't nailing it." I enjoyed your presentation;  taking a pre-test and then listening to the tape felt more personal. You also streamlined the materials...just what was needed to pass.  It feels great to have the test behind me.  Thanks for your help.

This program really prepared me for the exam. The mock exam questions were very similar to the actual exam, so there weren't many surprises (if any) the day of the test. The test taking strategies were very valuable as well and made me feel confident throughout the test. The length of the program was just right and the material was well organized. I highly recommend this program to everyone!

I just passed the California LCSW Clinical Vignette exam using the Therapist Development Center's study system.  I tried to study using another program, but I stopped during the first practice exam because I did not agree with the rationale for diagnostic choices.  I was very frustrated and worried, but I researched online and found the Therapist Development Center.  This program does a great job of preparing you to take the exam, and the material is broken down in a way that makes sense. Amanda Rowan clearly explains what BBS wants to accomplish by structuring the test in this way.

I definitely felt much more comfortable with the material and direction.  I bought some test books and some were too inclusive.  Even though there was definitely material that we didn't cover I knew how to get rid of some answers and break the question down to steps. I don't know what I got but I know I passed, thanks.

I was so nervous, studied on and off for 3 months, really kicked into gear the last two weeks and passed! The tips were great and the guides and mock exams really help prepare you and get your head in the right state of mind to pass this exam. Thanks!

I have already referred the program to all of my social work and MFT co-workers and friends! The study material was just right in regards to what I needed to know for the exams.  Not once did I feel overwhelmed with the amount of study material I was given.  My anxiety was high but I was definitely prepared to pass both exams! Thank you!

I am grateful for friends who recommended your program, and that I had the good sense to leave AATBS in the dust (I did one of their mock tests after learning your program, but I made the mistake of reading the rationales for my incorrect answers - my mama feared I would dash one of her glass water glasses in anger! It is SO contradictory!!) I am recommending your program to my UCLA cohort. I would love to send you a photo of my scratch paper template =)  THANK YOU TDC!
