I wished I used this tool for LMSW, but I am so happy I found it for my LCSW. I recommend it to everyone! The fact that they over prepare you and you can go at your own pace is great, I studied for 5 hours a week when I first bought the system (back in July) then two weeks before the exam I went through the module the second time and would study two hours a day (Mon-Friday). Communication with the coaches and organization is great- I had to get TDC extended due to how my supervisors father passed away. I used this system on a daily basis. The lectures- What's the difference, ethics, and crisis were all very helpful for me along with the TOP50 lecture. I have Generalized anxiety disorder and hearing the material over and over again helped me so much. I am so happy that I bought this in July 2020 and Passed in march 2021. I got a 70 on the exam-however the exam DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. We are not walking DSM-5s- we are people just like our patients and so- TDC is there for you until you pass-just like we are with out patients!

TDC program covered all topics and information needed in order to prepare for the test. I was on and off studying for about 3 months using the program and really focused reviewing the entire program 2-3 weeks before the test. Thank you for this great resources and calming words of encouragement and reassurance.

I definitely feel that TDC helped prepare me for this exam by teaching me what to look for in the prompts and how to adequately dissect the questions to choose the best answer. I don't think I would have passed by solely studying clinical terms and law and ethics. I feel like a better clinician because I am able to think more critically about what is being presented and how to proceed to best meet the needs of my clients!

I had a lot of test anxiety and waited far to long to take the test. The study materials catered to multiple learning styles and helped solidify learning. With this course, I really enjoyed studying. I loved that there were a lot of practice questions to reinforce learning and boost confidence in navigating how the test questions are written. The audio rationales to go over the practice tests were helpful. By test day, I felt prepared and confident. Passed on my first attempt and would highly recommend TDC!

TDC helped me tremendously, mainly due to the audio explanations and the practice exams. If you are primarily an auditory learner this study program will be perfect for you!

I previously purchased another study material that had good and correct information, however, it did not help me with the LCSW exam, which resulted in not passing the exam the first time. From my first experience I realized that I knew the content, but did not know how to read and answer the questions correctly and I was missing something. I then researched what study material other social workers were using that passed and that is how I learned about the Therapist Development Center (TDC). I purchased the TDC material and I have to say that was the best decision and investment that I made! I don't think I would have passed using the same or another study material. I know for a fact that TDC helped me to pass this second time taking the exam. After my first experience taking the exam and going through the TDC study material I realized that TDC knew what they were talking about and they were able to fill the missing pieces for me. I really liked how it was a one time purchase and they would stay with you until you passed because that gave me a piece of mind and didn't add to the anxiety and stress like other study materials where you only have one chance. TDC was still more affordable than the other study materials out there as well, which indicated to me that they were not all about the money, but actually wanting to help social workers pass their exam. I liked how they have coaches that you can contact if you need help or have questions so you are not alone on the journey. I liked how they provide you with all that you will need to know and it is easy to follow and understand, unlike other materials that give you so much information that leaves you feeling overwhelmed. I also liked that they organize everything for you and all you have to do is follow their step by step instructions because that helps to eliminate the extra stress as well. I am forever grateful to TDC and would highly recommend TDC to others for sure! Thank you so much!

Utilizing the Therapist Development Center review was like enrolling in a college course centered around taking the exam. You had lectures to listen to, study aids, and several practices quizzes to help you prepare. I was able to pass my first time and felt it was very helpful! Thank you to the TDC!!!

This course was the only reason why I passed the test!! I felt so prepared and ready. After failing 2 times before, I had no confidence before taking this study course. It truly does prepare you. I never knew how to study and was always soooo overwhelmed when I would try to start studying on my own. If I could give this course 10 stars, I would. It was worth every penny spent. It’s almost like they knew what questions were on the exam!! If you need to pass your exam, buy this course.

I took my clinical exam for the first time yesterday and PASSED! I went through TDC's course twice over the last couple months and it absolutely lives up to the hype. I was really nervous about taking this exam, but TDC's mock exams, audio lectures, and other study materials gave me the confidence I needed to pass. I would recommend this program to anyone. Thank you so much!

This is an amazing extremely helpful program to get you organized on where to start, proceed and end your journey in preparing for this milestone in your career. I really appreciate the pep talk right before the test and the many great quizzes and practice exams to ensure we retain and demonstrate what we are learning. Thank you sooo much TDC, I was able to conquer this with you as my partner, I appreciate you!!
