The exam prep covered all the important areas, including how to feel calm and confident during the test (yes, I spoke to Amanda during the test :-) ), marking challenging questions and moving on, and even the tip on eating a banana right before and bringing juice (I brought a "focus" vitamin water drink) for midway were a huge help. I ended up passing with an 87%.

I took the exam years ago without using any study system. Didn’t know how to study for exam. Didn’t pass. I waited to long to take exam again & loss hours. I had to get supervision again for many hours. My supervision was through the pandemic. I originally started with Gerry Grossman. I don’t like his style on program. I decided I would use Therapists... which I used to pass my Law & Ethics exam & passed. I love your syestem. It feels personal. It’s like you’re hear with me. I’m so grateful & I would only recommend your program. Thank you Amanda!

Just a thank you.

I've been a LSW since 06. I completed my clinical hours part time while working full time, in 2019. I was planning to take my exam in April 2020, right when everything shut down due to Covid19 restrictions.

My kids chipped in and bought me the Therapists Development Center prep course for Mother's Day. They knew how very important this was to me, as they had watched me struggle through school and work as a single mother most of their lives. I had one single attempt after an extension from the board post covid; June 30th to pass, and the 28th was the only date available to schedule in 3 surrounding states. I scheduled in March after the extension was received. Needless to say I was in a panicked state.

I started the TDC program on May 22nd, and passed my LSCW on my first attempt today!

Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing program. I found the curriculum to be all inclusive and supportive of exam content. It was easy to navigate, and retain/regain the material, after almost 15 years. The sections on DSM were fantastic and got me quickly up to speed on changes I have a limited working knowledge in, due to my hospice experience, as well as every day in program development. (I am accustomed to just looking it up.)

I am grateful for you and the content, as well as for my coach Heidi, who was responsive and resourceful.

So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for assisting in attaining my clinical license, almost 15 years after receiving my Master's! My family and I are thrilled that this part of our journey has ended and our new story can begin.

With a grateful heart,

I have used TDC before and I love their program. The topics are broken down into manageable parts. I am an auditory learner so I love that the lectures are recorded. TDC's questions were consistently more complex which made the ones on the exam easier to parse through. I was prepared and I did pass on the first attempt. My only critique was that the version of the clinical exam that I took did not focus nearly as much on the Top 50 topics, DSM, or clinical scenarios. I found that there was a lot more macro based questions, like a question on leadership styles. Overall, I think this is a great program.

It was the organization for me. Sometimes big goals like this can be hard to break down into digestible, foundational, learning blocks that you can build on with a sense direction. Where I lacked confidence, this study prep helped me gain insight. I walked into the test with such a good understanding of it, questions that I needed to take slower versus ones that I knew right away. I could recognize what type of question it was, which allowed me to understand what type of answer was needed. After each practice exam, the ones I got wrong - I knew why it was wrong, but I also knew why I answered the way I did, which allowed me to exercise that new insight in real time during the actual test. The investment is in you with this study prep. I'd do it again (but I don't have to)!!!

After 6 years I finally decided to get serious about studying and purchased TDC! I’m happy to say that I was able to pass the exam on my first attempt! I feel that TDC truly prepared me for how to answer the questions on the test!

Thank you, TDC! I had so much anxiety about this exam literally putting it off for 3 years. The structure, the quizzes, mock exams, and pep talk helped ease my anxiety and get me through. The approach of thinking “what would Amanda do” as well as listing answers in order was my focus and I believe really helped me when thinking through the stem. The day of my exam the anxiety was still there and I did have thoughts running through my mind that I was going to fail but I again remembered that pep talk and quickly was back in the game. I highly recommend this program and I am so grateful I followed through!!

The TDC is a great program to really get Social Workers to think critically about difficult situations and scenerios, expand on thier skills and become more confident when taking the LCSW exam.

TDC helped me pass on my first attempt! I needed 103 correct and passed with 117. TDC makes the test feel less overwhelming and helps you organize your studying. The structure and information that TDC offered alleviated so much of my anxiety. I am grateful for this program!

I PASSED! Thank you TDC for your study program. I am a school social worker so I knew testing for my Clinical Social Work license was going to be a challenge. I appreciate how you map our your program and make it manageable to have a life and study. I bought your program because you were with us until we passed. The first attempt I failed by 5 points and I was devastated. After a couple months, I was ready to being reapplying and studying again. Appreciate being able to email coaches and get feedback. The two final mock exams and top 50 topics were key for me. I knew the material, but I had to learn how to apply it to possibly scenarios and all the FIRST and NEXT questions on the exam. The mock exams and top 50 topics helped me go into my test and feel so confident. THANK YOU for this program and being with us until we pass!
