This program helped me be confident in my ability to know how to eliminate wrong answers pretty quickly. The rationale's provided after taking the final mock exams were one of the best study tools that I took into the exam with me. I wish I had spent more time on the quizzes and the DSM-5 material. I still was able to get 109 correct answers and only needed 102 to pass. This was the best investment that I made for my future.

Highly recommend this program. I passed on my first attempt and felt confident throughout the exam. I used the techniques provided in the course and felt very well prepared.

I passed on my first attempt, thank you TDC! I followed the program, put in the time to review all missed questions on mock tests (super helpful), and utilized a private TDC coach Heidi who was immensely helpful.

I recommend TDC with delight. Thank you!!

Excellent course!

I took the test twice before and missed it within a few points and was very disappointed. I kept hearing about TDC but was reluctant because of the price however I thought to give it a try because I was determined to pass. Everything in this program from the test material, to the questions, to the mental and emotional prep really prepared me on exam day. The last 48 hour pep talk was extremely helpful and I kept repeating what Amanda said, that I am well prepared for this exam! I am happy and relieved to say I passed on my third attempt! If your struggling this study program is worth every penny! Thank you to the TDC team!

I passed on the first try thanks to TDC! TDC was very instrumental in providing a foundation for how to “attack” this test, breaking down questions, and becoming a better social worker. I am so very grateful! I did this program twice as recommended and I think that definitely helped to solidify the info. Also, Heidi was wonderful throughout this process and was a great source or support and guidance. I have anxiety and test anxiety, but I was suprised at how much that was reduced going into the exam. I was also able to do a tutoring session that I believe really helped when taking the exam because I could apply those tips & strategies. Words can’t express the gratitude I have for this program, simply amazing! I recommend this program to anyone looking to pass these exams! God is Good!

The LCSW study course was concise, engaging, and highly effective in preparing me to not only pass the exam, but to feel confident the minute I walked into the testing center. There were moments where I felt challenged by the content of the exam questions, but found comfort in recalling and applying Amanda’s key approaches to choosing the most likely response. I am forever grateful for this valuable guide!

TDC mentally, physically and emotionally prepares you for this exam. The practice test, mock tests, and full mock test will leave anyone feeling ready. Thank you TDC!

For years I told myself, "I'm not a test taker" and I felt really lost thinking about taking this test. I thought I had to memorize the DSM to pass this exam. But with the help of TDC, I was able to reframe my mindset and the way I thought about myself as well as the actual test. I even feel more confident to practice as a LCSW. I feel better connected to the Code of Ethics, mandated reporting, etc. I think because TDC makes these concepts relatable to actual practice. Overall, the test felt less intimidating because of TDC.

I am also a person that likes structure and I consider myself to be task oriented. Therefore the way the program is set up worked out great for me. I tell my friends/colleagues that TDC helped me feel like the test was manageable and the studying was paced throughout time, rather than cramming and hoping for the best. I enjoyed being able taking time throughout the week for studying and having a normal life.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this program. I did not utilize anything else but TDC and I felt very prepared for the exam and my ability to critically think throughout the entire exam. Thank you Amanda and TDC team!!!

I was nervous about scheduling my exam because of the scary stories I had heard from friends and colleagues who took the licensing exam and failed not just. As a working clinician, I was concerned that I would not have the time or peace of mind to study from home. Then the pandemic happened, I experienced some personal loss and had to regroup. I was not sure to even apply for the LCSW exam but my 6th was looming and I NEEDED to test before it appeared as though I had abandoned my hours/application for testing. I was nervous and completed the TDC course. I relied heavily on the support and guidance of Heidi T. She was remarkable. She not only helped me explore rationale and answering my many questions, she helped me organize my studying since I was working full time with juggling life, so that I could successfully schedule my study time. I opted to take the course and review the entire course which was perfect for me. I had enough time to learn and break down the critical thinking skills necessary for the exam. The Therapist Development Center truly prepares you for what the national exam is truly like. Investing in this study course will help you gain the strategies to pass with confidence. Believe me, when they said take Amanda with you, I did and it worked! A special shout out to Heidi for her patience and many e-mails.
