I really loved how study sessions were easily broken down into manageable sections. Every topic, lecture, and quiz helped me pass! I would recommend this to anyone gearing up to take the clinical exam,

I initially tried to study on my own going through the DSM and making flashcards. I found myself overwhelmed and was hesitant to purchase TDC because I’m a visual learner. But I finally decided to about a week into studying hoping it would give me more structure. It absolutely did! Even though I’m a visual learner it really helped listening to the lectures on my way to work. I also, as suggested, printed out the quick studies and complete them myself. As advised, I went through the program twice and then continue to study concepts I needed to grasp. I took both short mock tests and both full mock tests, and scored 75% on all of them. By following every recommendation made by TDC, it really made all the difference for me. The day of my exam I listened to the final peptalk on my way to the site. I went in with the mindset to attack the exam, as Amanda suggested. I wrote down on my whiteboard, among other things, “tolerate uncertainty”, and when I would get stuck or was not sure how I was doing I would look down at that those 2 words, take a deep breath, and continue. I finished in two hours and 45 minutes and after initially freezing at the sight of the word PASS on the screen, I put my head down on the desk and let out a quiet cry. Your program made all the difference and I thank you so so much!!

I love the structure that TDC's study program offered. So much better than just reading a book which is how I've heard some other companies do. It was so satisfying to be able to check off each step as I completed it. I also had two sessions with Heidi, a TDC coach and that was so helpful. She was easily available by email and gave me lots of additional tips and was very supportive. Overall I am so glad that I used TDC and will be recommending this program to everyone who is planning on taking the exam. I was able to pass on my first try and I'm just so happy and relieved. Thanks TDC!

This study system prepared me incredibly well for the exam. I knew how to answer questions I was unsure of and I had all the information needed for the recall based questions. So pleased!

TDC is a great study tool if you are someone who does well with the following learning styles: Verbal and Auditory. Although I am more of a visual learner, I was still was able to study well with the auditory style as most lectures I was able to visualize the content being discussed. The rationales provided were extremely helpful as I was able to understand how my thought pattern lead to the wrong answer. I retained more when I answered wrong. Thank you TDC!

I passed my Clinical exam on my first attempt. I’m 59 years old and graduated with my MSW in 2003. I had to relearn so much material. TDC was the perfect program for me. I listened to the lectures several times. I did not take the ASWB practice exam and I was afraid I would regret it. I didn’t because the two full mock exams TDC offered really prepared me for the real exam. The questions were very similar. I highly recommend this program.

I passed on my first attempt after studying nearly every day for two months.  The way the course and material are layed out is wonderful, it helps you to be able to build on the information to know how to answer the reasoning questions, and you have the knowledge base for the recall and application questions.  I am so glad I used this program to help me pass my LCSW clinical exam. 

I purchased TDC after several friends recommended it to me. I had take the exam once and didn’t pass; short of 8 questions. TDC was SO helpful, in depth, precise, and overall the best investment I did for myself. I passed with a huge improvement in my score from the first time. So so so thankful for the creation of this program!

With the help of TDC, I was able to pass the ASWB clinical exam by a considerable margin on my first attempt. I received my MSW in 2013 and did not go directly into social work practice due to unforeseen circumstances. I returned to the social work profession in late 2019 and began getting the necessary supervision hours for licensure. I took my exam in March 2021. I went through the TDC program twice and followed the sample study plan. The biggest benefit of TDC for me was having a detailed and structured plan. I enjoyed having a mix of audio lectures, quizzes, written quick studies, and mock exams. I also ended up taking the official ASWB clinical practice exam which was very close to the real exam. The TDC quizzes/exams weren't as reflective of the real test but it helped me to develop the reasoning skills that were needed to pass the exam. I can say beyond a reasonable doubt that I would not have passed without TDC and the structure/reasoning skills it provided me. The exam coaches were also very helpful and prompt in their responses. The biggest drawback of the program for me was the price. It was more expensive than registering for the exam itself. I agonized for weeks about if I should buy the program or not. Having now passed the exam, I can say it was worth it. The TDC team was very quick and responsive to any of my concerns but I stopped reporting issues because they were minor and did not detract from the program as a whole and it's purpose of helping me pass the exam. Overall, I would recommend the program to anyone studying for the ASWB clinical exam. TDC was great for me especially because of the structured study plan which helped curb my tendency to procrastinate. I had no idea where to start to study and TDC gave me the guidance I needed.

This program was extremely helpful! Today was my first time at taking the LCSW exam and I passed on the first try! I purchased it a month before my exam today! I would totally recommend this program to anyone! Thank you!!
