Excellent program - passed on the first try on April 9, 2022.

I spent almost a year putting off the clinical exam after graduating with my MSW, but finally couldn't avoid it anymore after being offered a job that was contingent on obtaining my license. I ordered the Apgar prep materials online and wanted to throw up when I opened the book. It was so much information and I had no idea where to begin. This course was everything I needed; it gave me a schedule, it broke down everything I needed to learn into manageable chunks, and most importantly gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. I am so grateful that I passed!!!

I was so nervous about taking the LCSW however felt confident after dedicating time to the content provided by TDC. Achieving my LCSW has now opened new doors for me and built my confidence within a field I love. Thank you

Ok so here I go...THIS PROGRAM IS EVERYTHING! I studied for 4 weeks on and off before I took my exam. The program is organized, structured and relevant. I felt fully prepared, and I thank this program for it. Not only do they go over LCSW material but they give you strategies on how to effectively think during your exam, which helped a ton!! THANK YOU AMANDA!!

I GOT THE "L"!!

On 4/28/2022 I passed my Clinical exam on the first go. I heard about TDC from a coworker who used it for her LMFT exam and decided to give it a go. The study system is set up in a way to give you adequate time and material to study while still allowing you to enjoy your life. I had issues with my paperwork being approved and had to ask for an extension of the course, and it was easy to do. I appreciate TDC for helping me feel prepared for test day. I scored 20 points above the required amount needed to pass and halfway through the exam I knew I'd pass. Thank you to the TDC team!

I studied for 2 weeks and 3 days and passed on the first attempt!!!! Thank you TDC!!!! You are the best!!!!

1st of all thanks to TDC and especially Amanda and Bethany, very grateful for your skills, knowledge, guidance and positive support. TDC was best $300 I spent in long time!. I scored 75 percent and passed on 1st attempt. Without the TDC program wouldn't have passed. What a relief and thanks for giving me my a fun summer without having to stress over taking Exam again, and strengthening my SW and clinical skills!! Priceless as Master Card commercial goes! The lectures, programs, and motivational talks were integral to me passing. I give credit especially to 2 Mock tests, really helped me become exam ready, battle tested and helped me internalize skills and attack the test like Amanda suggests. The test taking strategies were vital, went in with a lot confidence, took break at 85 question point, took my break and recharged brain with snack, grinded it out and kicked butt. As final test prep motto goes "Now GO PASS the TEST!". I did and thank you all at TDC!! What a relief and so very grateful so very thankful for TDC and program. Will suggest TDC program to anyone, well worth the time and money! Keep up the great work! I work in a hospital as a ER Mental health clinician doing BH consults and OP Substance Abuse therapist and when getting ready to take LCSW exam asked my co workers their experience with exam? 1 shared he studied on his own, missed by 2 pts not passing, had to take it again 3 mths latter and pay another $300, stress out and barely passed on his own on 2nd attempt, by pure luck or a fluke passed! TDC saved me all that!!. Thanks again TDC for helping get my LCSW and passing that tough exam, so very grateful. Likes others testimonials reported I knew mid way thru test I was going to pass due TDC's help, thanks again!! Wonderful job TDC!! Special applause and kudos to Amanda and Bethany, thanks a bunch!!

TDC made studying easy for me, especially as a working mom of a toddler. TDC allows you to go at your own pace. The lectures were to the point and the countless of practice exams/quizzes made such a difference. I am so glad to have passed on my first try! I needed 102 to pass and I scored 118! Thank you TDC!

I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about the TDC program and feel so blessed to have found it. This was my second time taking the LCSW exam and whoever is reading this and may be in the same situation, DON'T LOSE HOPE! This program will have you passing your next try. If you failed it, you are not alone. I felt so devastated seeing 'fail' next to my name and missing it by 4 points. Crushed me. I studied for weeks with a different program that was good, (I used Dr. Sophia Dziegielewski's program) but it didn't prepare me how to answer the questions the way TDC prepares you. Bc that is what the clinical exam is all about, how to answer the questions from a clinical perspective, and a lot of the questions are total trickery with the way the exam presents them bc there could be multiple right answers. I am not a good standardized test-taker bc I tend to overthink everything and second-guess myself to the max, and then end up changing my answers at the end, which is a bad idea bc I probably changed a lot of right answers -and every point on this exam matters. So my advice is to trust yourself, trust your ability and prepare, prepare, prepare. Take all the mock exams from TDC and follow their study outline from start to finish. Print out all of their handouts and listen to the audios at least twice - esp the Let's Talk Ethics, (I learned so much from this one I didn't learn in Grad school) DSM, & Top 50 topics. If you listen to these, follow the study outline, and take all the mock exams, you will PASS. Also, with the mock exams, it's important to go over the rationales of the ones you miss. This is very helpful to gain insight as a practitioner. Whoever is reading this that has failed before, remember: Some of the most successful people in the world had to fail multiple times to get it right, and the most important thing they had was not talent, it was bc they didn't give up. Our profession makes it known we have a passion and a heart for helping others, and this is so special. Our hurting world needs you and you deserve to pass. Wishing you all the blessings, courage, and success. We're in this together. <3 Lauren J., LCSW

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I conquered my anxiety the help of TDC and was able to pass the exam!! Forever grateful for the extensions even though I had not taken the exam. My anxiety was making me procrastinate and postpone the exam date but TDC granted me the extension. My thing that helped me the most where the tips Amanda provided (eg., taking breaks, reading out loud, imagine they are in your office). The pretest and mock exams were extremely useful. Overall I am so happy! Thank you!!
