I passed... and with wiggle room!! Thanks so much for being a comprehensive, easy to navigate, trusted program! You provided the information in a succinct, "test like," and direct outline. I utilized everything and it was worth it. Thanks for giving me the confidence to PASS. TDC definitely solidified the DSM-5, Code of Ethics, and Crisis Intervention skills and knowledge to make me a better social worker.
The material was easy to follow, which made it easy to remember key concepts. Loved the fact that I can email Bethany and she simplified material allowing me to understand and comprehend areas that I was struggling with. The additional study test were great for practice as well.
I went into the exam just like the final pep talk stated, ready to ATTACK. I wasn't nervous at any point in the exam and used several of the test taking techniques throughout the 3.75 hours it took to complete. Well worth the money and time. Thank you so much.
I am so pleased to have passed my exam on the first go and I could not have done it without the Therapist Development Center, as I have historically not been a good test taker. I listened to the audio lectures three times. The first two times, I listened for content of the study material and the last time I listened for content of the conversation, which was very helpful. There are little gems in the discussion parts of the lecture that help you get a sense of how to sort through the information to find the correct answer on the exam.
Thank you!
I want to sincerely thank Amanda and the TDC crew. This year has been very transformative for me, with a divorce, and being the primary caretaker for my two little children (one of them having complex needs). The early part of this year was spent on transitioning to living on our own, advocating with my daughter's school and dealing with health challenges.
I needed a 93 to pass and got 132! I felt very prepared!
Let me begin by saying that I have never been a strong multiple choice test taker so this kind of testing makes me nervous. As a social worker who has been working in the field for a couple of years, I thought I had the knowledge to pass. So when I signed up for the exam the first time, I gave myself two weeks to refresh and I went to an all-day training provided by ABSW. I went into the test site, was amazed at the difficulty of the test, and missed by 12 points.
I passed!!!!! The TDC material really prepared me for this exam!!! It felt like I was failing as I was taking the exam, but I kept hearing Amanda's voice in my head saying "it's going to feel like you're failing, but you are well prepared!". She was right!!! I was well prepared! I went through the study material twice just to make sure I retained as much as I could! Reading, hearing, and understanding the code of ethics really helped!!! Thank you TDC!!!!!
This program helped provide a structure to my studying and direction to what material I needed to pay more attention to. It was a very comprehensive study guide and helped me pass the exam!
You guys are amazing!!! I would recommend this to anyone who is studying for their exam, regardless if it is their 1st attempt or 4th!!!! Thank you SO much!!!!!
