I will definitely be recommending this program to all my license eligible colleagues. Right out of the gate I knew that this was going to be a more holistic, supportive program. The fact that exercise, self care, and balance are included in the very fabric of how to pass is by far and away what helped me the most...and that is saying a lot because I learned so much from this program. I joke with my friends but it feels true that I learned more from this program than I did in grad school and yet it wasn't overwhelming. It was set up in a way that really worked for me. The recorded lectures, the quizzes, the mocks and the quick reviews all helped me pass this test. I felt very well prepared. I actually scored better on the ASWB exam than I had been on the TDC exams. I passed with 130 correct! I really appreciate everyone at TDC. Great work and THANK YOU!!!
I passed the clinical exam on my very first try passing with a score of 114 but only needing 103. TDC helped me feel extremely prepared and confident leading up to the exam and the day of. The guidance and structure of the program is amazing. I don’t think I would’ve passed first try without it
Thanks TDC!!
First time taking the test and I was very nervous. TDC helped guide me in the areas I needed to study and prepare me to take the exam. The problem solving techniques they thought me during the study course helped tremendesly during the exam. I had to drive 3hr to my exam so the pep talk on my drive to the site helped ground me, which was very helpful.
I passed my clinical exam by a large margin using TDC on my first attempt. I also completed the exam in until 1.5 hours. I felt well prepared and had no doubts going into the exam. One thing that I loved about the program was its ability to put Amanda’s voice in my head. I noticed that I kept Amanda’s voice and her reasoning skills with me through all sorts of daily tasks (As odd as it sounds, I would need to make a decision on how to cook a dish for dinner, and I’d be able “hear” Amanda slowing down my decision masking.) These skills really helped me practice how to think about reasoning from an LCSW prospective. Additionally, the ethics lecture really helped me understand the foundation of our profession- which is important in both practice and in the exam! Lastly, for anybody on the fence about the cost, I leave you with this: I know many people who have tried other (often less expensive) programs without my same success, and my thought is, “investing to only take the exam once is a much more cost effective option for your money and time than needing to take the exam a handful of times.”
I passed on the first try. The actual exam was more difficult than I expected and more difficult than the practice tests, but the practice test questions were very similar to the actual test questions which helped my comfort and confidence levels during the test.
Due to covid I did not have a lot of time to prepare for the exam but I still felt very confident going into the exam because of this program. The program covers everything you need to know in a very easy to follow manner. I highly recommend this study program!!
I passed the clinical social work exam! After working the TCD program, I was well prepared for the clinical social work exam and confident in my approach to the exam questions. Amanda's advice to imagine the client is relating the problem to me at that moment, was beneficial in sorting through the responses. When I submitted questions about ethics, Heidi responded to all my questions in detail. Let this professional team help you pass the exam. This program is well worth the investment.
After 2 previous failed attempts, I finally passed. This is all thanks to The Therapist Development Center. I was able to get answers to questions quick and in very time efficient manner. The program focused on keys area that would be tested on with a big emphasis on the NASW code of ethics which is key to passing these test. The Audio recording felt like you were in a real room -they were not an automated voice. I actually learned through this program that I am an auditory learning. The program was designed so you can follow a study plan that didn’t require studying for hours non stop which is what I find previously. The program also gave so many opportunities for practice. These practice questions are SO similar to the actual test. The previous programs I used were not at all like this program. I wouldn’t recommend using any other study program. I highly recommend TDC to anyone preparing for the clinical social work exam. I would not have passed with out them. THANK YOU!!
I PASSED! Third times the charm! After having missed my first two exam attempts by 1 point, I was devastated. TDC was remarkable in teaching me the knowledge and reasoning skills to learn how to take the test, which is key. I utilized the coaches for any content area or question I needed more information on and they were always helpful and quick to respond. TDC was exactly the program I needed to rebuild my confidence! I would HIGHLY recommend TDC to any and all social workers studying for their exams!!
I was able to review the material twice before taking the exam. I recommend following the suggestions provided (taking mock exams same time as actual test). Also, I felt like most of the questions were familiar from similar questions presented in TDC's practice exams. There was only 1 or 2 curveball type questions.
