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!!

I have horrible test anxiety, and it got worse two days leading up to my exam. With two nights of inadequate sleep, thus feeling lightheaded and sleep-deprived going into the exam, I still passed! Over the the course of 6 weeks, outside of my fulltime job and college class, I studied through TDC. There are some things from the TDC curriculum that confused me, but it more so benefited me in successfully preparing for the LCSW exam. I did not use any study material outside of TDC. Thank you, Heidi, for being there whenever I had questions! Yes, I would recommend TDC to a friend.

TDC helped me gain my confidence back. I knew I could pass. I was so close before and failed by 3-4 points. I reached out to TDC and they extended my access without question. I felt like they believed in me so I had to move forward and try again. I took my test yesterday 4/26/22 and PASSED! Tears of joy. My advice is to make sure that you mind is free and clear of stress so you're able to fully commit to studying. Thanks TDC :)

This system is amazing, and it's like a simulation of the real deal. Thank you!

This course was truly phenomenal! I wouldn't even know where to begin to prep for the LCSW exam if it weren't for this course. I loved how all the topics were neatly sectioned into 50 digestible topics and DSM topics. The quizzes and mock exams were super great and made me feel very confident going into the exam. Thank you so much!!!

I believe in TDC I think the information provided is perfect. I just need additional support with my approach perhaps. I took Amanda with .

I thought I would never pass this exam and I had almost given up. However, I stayed focus and listen and understood the importance of the FRIST/NEXT and BEST/MOST important questions. Amanda and her team really focus and stress the importance of the above. I believe this really helped me understand the questions and understand how to answer the questions on the test. KEY POINTER: READ THE COE, it will guide you to the right interventions you will need to pass this test.

I had been anxious about this test before even graduating. This course makes it so easy to know what to study to pass. The hardest part about the exam is the way the questions are asked and this course help me understand not just information but HOW to take the test

Ms. Tobe was an awesome tutor. She explained things clearly and gave positive feedback.
