I was very anxious about preparing and taking this exam. I needed 103 correct to pass and ended up passing with 129 correct answers. TDC helped me feel more confident going into the exam and the thinking strategies were extremely helpful for figuring out the questions that felt overwhelming during the test. I definitely asked myself “what would Amanda do here?” more than once. Thank you TDC!

Purchasing and utilizing TDC’s study program was the best decision I could have made for myself. In preparing for my clinical licensure exam I was discouraged by the attitude of “forget what you know and just learn how to take the test”. In the process of preparing for this test I also wanted to become a more competent and knowledgeable clinician. TDC did that and more! I felt prepared for every aspect of this test including test tasking technique, mentality, and content. I also feel prepared to enter the field as a qualified clinical practitioner that can keep people safe and support other clinicians in their work. I am so grateful!

Thank you for giving me an organizational system and for helping me to work smarter and not harder.

TDC was a game changer. I had bought another study program and did not feel like I was getting anywhere. The further I got into my learning I realized I did not have the materials needed to pass, so I did more research. My findings showed really great reviews about TDC and so I bought the program. I am so thankful I did because I was prepared and confident going into the exam. I studied the whole curriculum in just over 3 weeks. Study sessions lasted around two hours and I had a clear study guide provided by TDC, so it took all the guess work out of what to focus on. I needed 103 correct answers to pass and I got 117. I am beyond happy and relieved I chose TDC. Thank you!!

Thank you so much Amanda and company!! This was so nerve wracking and I felt like there was so much to cover but the guide completed with the study sheets, quizzes, exams, helped so much with breaking everything down! I don't usually diagnose due to the work of our organization; however, after taking this study guide I've memorized the key points of diagnosing very well! I passed and as I was taking the exam I truly heard your voice and remembered your key points and felt weirdly calm. I highly, highly recommend anyone taking TDC and I appreciate your flexibility as well when I had to extend my exam date. It is highly appreciated and I am elated and looking forward to the future as an LCSW thanks to you! Thank you once again.

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.
