TDC is great. With their excellent study materials and lectures, I have been able to successfully pass my CA Law and Ethics exam, ASWB Master's level exam, and ASWB Clinical exam, all on the first attempt. Thank you guys so much!
I received my LSW in 2016, and figured I would gain my LCSW 2 years later after earning my clinical, supervision hours, etc. Shortly after finishing my hours, I took the exam and failed by 2 points. I became extremely discouraged, and let life pass by before rescheduling. Since getting my LSW, I have had 3 jobs, got engaged, bought a house, adopted a dog, navigated life through a pandemic, got married during a pandemic, and realized that it was finally time to face this test. TDC came recommended by so many people on Facebook. Initially I was hesitant to pay so much money, but boy was it worth it! I went from failing by 2 points the first time around, to passing by 12 points the second time around. I would definitely recommend TDC in a heart beat!
I passed my LCSW Clinical Exam on first try scoring 120/150 with the help of TDC and an ASWB mock exam to better apply TDC materials and tie the relevance gap with the actual exam difficulty. The two went hand in hand, and TDC materials matched similar difficulty/testing style of the actual exam. TDC audio lectures tied in well with reading materials, and mock practice exams were good opportunities to apply program teachings. I'd say TDC quizzes and mock tests do tend to be a bit easier than the actual board exam for the purpose of tying in the lecture materials with easy application for understanding, but they are not too easy to the point of being ineffective in preparing you for the exam. I enjoyed TDC's very practical and humanistic approach to not only prepare you for the objective knowledge, but give you very personal tips/structures that you can absorb easily without feeling overwhelmed with information/anxiety. I also used TDC for my LCSW Law & Ethics Exam, which I also passed on the first try. Well done, and highly recommend.
Follow their system; it works
TDC has an excellent program and the key is to follow their recommendation. Having the study calendar was so helpful and I was able to stay organized and on track. The fact that they are with you until you pass is a huge plus too. Make an investment in yourself and your future. Completely worth it.
As someone who got their MSW almost 15 years ago, I was very nervous about studying for this exam. After looking into other options, I am SO happy that I decided to go with TDC. I ordered a popular study book that just had 100s of pages of straight information, without going over the best way to look at and answer the questions. The questions on my exam were very similar to the TDC study questions, some even almost word for word. I went through the program twice over 8 weeks, and was definitely not the perfect studying student (I don't blame myself with 2 young kids, a very full-time job, and additional contract work to get my clinical hours!), but I was still able to pass with no problem (my version of the test needed 102 to pass and I got 128 correct).
The tips for this study system truly work! I wasn't able to eat my snack (despite calling ahead and them saying I would be able to), so the juice break was clutch to give me a mental boost towards the end! Thank you TDC for helping me pass this test on my first try - I am SO relieved, and other than passing, it was a great review of clinical material!
This program is amazing! Not only did it help me prepare for the exam, but it made me a a better social worker! I was so scared about this exam as I am historically a poor test taker, but TDC breaks it down and helps teach you how to think about / read each question. I cannot recommend it enough!
I passed on the first try! TDC 's mock exams were similar to what was on the test. I felt prepared and confident to take the test by my test date. Am recommending TDC to everyone that needs quality test prep for the LCSW exam!
This program really helped me prepare for the test! I wish I had done it before I took the test the first time because I definitely would have been more prepared. I am more of an auditory, hands-on learner so this program was really great for me because of the lectures, worksheets and quizzes. I HIGHLY recommend this program for anyone who is gearing up to take this test!!!! It is well worth the investment to go into the testing room feeling confident and ready!!!
At first I felt like the materials did not adequately prepare me for the mock tests, but then I realized the tests were another important part of the studying. The questions that I wasn't prepared for, helped me to learn how to answer questions on the real test that I didn't initially know. Understanding the material was important, but it was also necessary to get comfortable with the type of the questions they asked. The entire program helped to prepare me and I'm grateful for TDC!
