Yes, I was so uncertain about my ability to pass the LCSW exam. I graduated from the MSW program 20 years ago. Life happened. I became serious about becoming licensed about 10 years ago and didn't know where to begin with preparing. I completed a 2 day training program, purchased supporting manuals, cds and DVDs from a well-known and popular educator. I later purchased an online study program which was basically reading 4 volumes and taking a practice test. Although well meaning, these study programs did not meet my study needs. TDC tied everything together for me. Being able to have a study plan, go at my own pace, listen to lectures over and over again, and to quiz myself along the way helped significantly. Each time I took a quiz or mock exam and noticed my score improving, boosted my confidence. What I believe helped me the most was the ability to practice sitting for 4 hour stretches and complete the practice tests. TDC is a system that helps you build up for the finale. I felt completely prepared for this exam. I was quite nervous as to be expected; however, once settled in the testing room I felt like I was in my study environment as if I was taking another practice exam. The exam was successful for me due to the preparation lectures and having the confidence to advocate for myself with the testing site. I really needed the juice to help me. I also found prayer, meditation and yoga stretches to help me with focus. Thanks so much TDC!! I needed 103 and earned 109!
Practice exams with rationales really prepare you for the exam! helped me to feel confident on exam day!
TDC did an amazing job of preparing me for my LCSW exam. The system provides one with the information needed to succeed and supports the values outlined in the Code of Ethics. I am so happy I used TDC.
I previously used TDC for my California Law and Ethics exam (passed it) and knew then it would be a must for my clinical exam. The way the system is set up and the audio aspects cater perfectly to my learning style. Having plenty of practice questions gave me the confidence going into the exam that I would be just fine. I passed the actual exam with an 86% which is similar to what I got on the TDC practice exams, so that tells me the materials are on point with the real exam. Thanks for being so great TDC!
Thank you TDC for preparing me for and passing the LCSW licensure exam!
Thank you Therapist Development Center for helping me pass my LCSW exam!! I passed on my first try all thanks to this amazing study program. I felt well prepared and confident going into the exam using this program. The audio lectures were especially helpful. I definitely recommend this study course!!
My journey started in the summer of 2020. I allowed a thought from a colleague to stay in my soul space too long "you wouldn't be able to get a test date until December 2020." My first test date was July 31. I realized it was the wrong time of day. The evening at 7 PM. I took my second test on October 31. I felt rushed taking the examination and I booked an appointment after the exam knowing I had the exam as the MAIN THING ON MY CALENDAR. On my third, January 30, 2021; I settled into the testing space, I took the test at the best time for me (early AM), I paused, closed my eyes, and settled with a prayer. I did not book anything else on my calendar. I looked at every question as if it was the very first question. This mind game helped me with relaxation and clarity of thought. I PASSED!
Thank you for all the help with my LICSW. Its been a tough few months with contracting COVID and the loss of my mother this pass month. I was apprehensive on taking the exam at this time. However, I listened to your suggestions in regards to eating fruit etc and mostly imagining you guys were in there with me going over the questions and it helped! I passed!!! Thank you so much for the support and understanding over the year.

Having all the different study material was super helpful. I completed everything at least twice -- appreciated having the option to retake quizzes and half mocks for practice purposes. Would listen to lectures while driving to my clients throughout the work week. Now I just gotta figure out what to do with all my leftover juice boxes..
Best tool to use to practice and prepare for the LCSW exam. Course was designed to hep me think critically and problem-solve each question. The Code of Ethics section was the highlight of the program and truly helped me decipher each dilemma during the exam.
