Just passed my clinical exam today - First attempt! Glad that's over with. For anyone unsure of where to turn to regarding exam prep, TDC is the place to go. I surveyed other programs before I began studying, and the confidence of the coaches is what compelled me to trust TDC. It is well worth the investment knowing that they covered pretty much everything you need to know to pass. The Clinical exam is definitely a different beast, but I felt very confident going into the exam. My passing score was within 1 or 2 points of the Final Mock 1 and 2 Exams. So, as noted by TDC, the mock exams are definitely good indicators of readiness. Amanda is correct! You're not going to be working from a set of acronyms to answer each question - they are nonsense. It's based on independent reasoning and clinical judgment. Sure it would be great to apply an intervention you know works, but maybe some other issue is more pressing. Thank you again to TDC, and good luck to all!

TDC helped me pass on my 2nd try. I used other study materials, but always struggled to create a study plan and cover all the needed content. I COULD CRY! TDC, thank you for existing, thank you for answering all my questions and thank you for helping me develop as a professional. 10/10 recommendation.

I took the test for the first time in October 2022 and failed. I really took the exam for granted because I passed the practice test with ASWB and studied some textbooks from graduate school. I read that ASWB was not associated with any prep course programs, so I thought, why waste my money? Well, I have to say, the TDC course increased my score by 30 points. It was the best investment I could have made! Every topic and strategy were on point with the exam. In fact, I almost ran out of time during the first exam, and this time, I had an hour to review flagged answers thanks to Heidi's recommendations. Thank you so much, TDC!

Thank you for helping me pass the LCSW exam on the first try! I followed the 8-week study guide, completed all the TDC quizzes and mock exams, as well as the ASWB practice exam. I was nervous going into the exam, but I implemented the tools from TDC. I ate oatmeal and strawberries before leaving home, and I sipped juice on my 10-minute break. I focused on first, next, most, and best. I did not change my answer unless it was an "aha" moment. I stayed calm and made it! Although I was hoping for a higher score overall, passing is ultimately all that matters. My final score was close to the scores on the mock exams. I am grateful to have completed such a huge accomplishment. Thank you!!

It was great being able to have audio as well as written versions of different ways to study. It was easy to follow along.

When I finally was approved to take the LCSW exam I became pregnant. I was scared that I would have to study while being pregnant. One of my coworkers spoke highly of this program. I bought it and loved how there was a break down on how I could study for my LCSW. All the information in the program was helpful for me to learn the material and feel confident the day of the test. I loved the pep talk at the end of the program. I kept playing it before the exam. I truly felt prepared or at least that I have prepared enough to complete, take, and possibly pass the test. On 6/3/2026 I took the test in NYC and passed. I feel so proud and thankful for a course like this.

Completing TDC was absolutely a worthwhile investment. I felt very prepared when taking the exam and that was the most reassuring factor to fend of exam day nervousness. Beyond the test, I also feel as it helped me a lot clinically as I have shifted into more of a supervisory role and had to navigate several ethical challenges with my supervisees. Thank you again to the TDC team for such a wonderful study program. I highly recommend to anyone gearing up for this exam.

TDC helped me feel confident to take the exam and pass! Before TDC I was so nervous about the exam and felt I would never pass. With TDC’s help, I felt confident walking into my exam and passed!

This course was incredibly beneficial. Not only did it help me understand what topics to study, but it taught me how to think going into the exam as well. Highly Recommend!

Preparing for the LCSW exam while pregnant was a significant challenge, but utilizing a structured study program made my success possible. To avoid the demands of a newborn, I strategically chose to sit for the exam at nearly eight months pregnant, prior to completing my clinical hours. Despite the physical difficulties, I successfully passed the exam and highly recommend this preparation program to any aspiring LCSWs.
