I loved the "50 Topics." I also really loved the "DSM: What's the Difference" audio preps. I've never heard anyone do anything like that and it was so helpful! The Ethics audio needs help. Ethics is dry enough as it is, but reading the code to me is not helpful. And the Ethics quiz review was not helpful. I don't feel like I got sufficient explanations for why my wrong answers were wrong. The Macro Made Manageable audio prep was also very good. The quizzes and practice exams on most topics were helpful.
My score was 122 and I needed 103. Testing materials made me feel very, very well prepared. I felt confident, but also took the ASWB offered practice exam two days before my scheduled exam date for my final preparation. The previous week, I took the two full Mock Exams. I finished early with no stress. My testing center did not allow for a snack stating the ASWB requirements indicated only a beverage could be consumed during a break. (Take a smoothie!) The most helpful test taking strategies were to put the potential answers in order to help with the DO FIRST and the DO NEXT questions. I did in fact hear the trainers voices as I worked through different problems.
Thank you so much for all of your help and support.
I am very pleased with the guidance this course offered and the structure of the program fit my learning style. Prior to the course I not only felt underprepared but I did not know where to start with a study strategy. TDC's process allowed me to digest topics fully before moving on to the next round. I think TDC's program is both all encompassing and precise. I didn't study anything I didn't need to. I not only passed, I learned to have more confidence in my critical thinking skills. I consider it an excellent investment in my clinical growth. Thank you TDC!
TDC is such a great resource for studying for the LCSW Exam! I always have struggled with knowing what to study and this program was able to lay it all out for me and I could set my own pace. Life can get very busy in graduate school and the TDC made studying a breeze. I passed my exam on my first attempt and felt confident in knowing how to answer questions, even when I didn't know the answers initially.
The layout of the program was awesome. It was so helpful to have that structure. I also liked the audio recordings. I really did have that voice in my head while taking the exam and it helped me narrow down the answers and pick the best one. I found the actual exam to be very similar to the practice exams on TDC.
TDC does an amazing job giving you the right study material. I learn through practice testing. It was nice to be able to have so many practices quizzes and tests to get my brain ready for the exam.
A great study guide , PLEASE go through it twice as recommended!!
I passed with an 81% (passing was a 68% on this version) and would like to thank the developers of this program for creating a curriculum that possessed everything I needed, and nothing I didn't.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone hoping to pass on the first try. Historically, I do not do well on standardized tests. I appreciated the quizzes and practice exams, as well as being able to extend my subscription, which I had to do several times, due to COVID. Like my colleagues who highly recommended this course to me, I felt really prepared for the kind of questions the LCSW exam asks: I felt like I had a solid knowledge base and a sound strategy with which to approach the exam. I felt really confident while taking the exam and I passed!
