I am a terrible test taker and have ADHD so traditional testing has never worked for me. I did great in grad school writing papers and participating in fish bowl exercises, but could never pull it together to do hours of multiple choice tests. This study program helped me understand exactly how to think to pass the exam. Thanks Amanda!!
I am so thankful for this program. I felt SO prepared going into this exam. The material was so thorough. I never thought I was a good test taker before, but this course gave me the confidence I needed. I passed today on my FIRST TRY!!! Feeling so incredibly thankful!!!
When I took my exam the first time, I failed by a single point. I needed 95 to pass and scored 94. I was devastated. I felt like I was so close but yet not good enough. I took time off of work and isolated myself for a month to study for the exam. So when I failed, I felt I failed personally. It took me almost a year to get out of my depressive slump and tackle the test again. I noticed from the first exam that the material wasn't where I was lacking, it was the way the exam was structured; I found it to be tricky. I needed a different way to study than just reading facts and information.
Thank you for your study system. It was a relief to have it sectioned out and focused for me. It took the guess work out of what to study. Working full time and having a young child left little time to study during the week. I appreciated your focus on studying in small chucks and practicing self care.
I passed my exam on the first try! It wasn't easy in that you have to put your own effort and dedicate time to study, but everything you need is in these study materials. The Therapist Development Center gives you what you need to study to pass the exam, but most importantly it teaches you how to think like a good clinician. Thanks to Amanda I learned how to place myself realistically in the scenarios the exam was asking me, and how I should respond based on the knowledge I had. There are no gimmicks; there shouldn't be no acronyms one should rely on to tell you how to answer the exam.
I took the CA state exam prior to it turning into the national exam, and obviously did not pass. I used another study system, which to me was very overwhelming. That system did not have the auditory aspect of the study material so it was all self directed via book review, which was quite extensive and confusing for me. Having the materials already sectioned and organized was a perfect way to make a difficult exam very manageable.
I think you ladies at TDC are doing a super job with test prep! I used TDC to pass the CA Law and Ethics Exam and used it again for the ASWB Clinical Exam. I am happy to report that I passed! This was a very important exam for me because I have moved to three states and each time worked on licensing requirements to practice in each state! Moving to California was nerve-wrecking because of all the requirements needed as an Out-of-State Applicant. Already anxious about the licensing process with all the new changes, TDC made it so much easier to study for each test. Specifically, I appreciate
Thank you, thank you! I'm 2 for 2 now with TDC. I passed CA Law and Ethics and the ASWB thanks to your program!
Thank you so much! I felt so confident and prepared taking this exam, although I was initially very anxious about going into this. The questions on the exam reflected all of the topics you covered and it felt like I was taking one of the practice exams which was a great feeling. God is good. Today is a good day. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for helping me pass the LCSW exam on my first try!! I appreciated having the information presented in many different ways and listened to the lectures multiple times. The reminders to "stay present," "lean in," and the other tools were definitely utilized. And thanks to Bethany for getting back to me so quickly last week for some last minute clarifications!
