I was in search of a One AND Done support for my LCSW exam. I wanted practical information that would help me pass the exam on the first attempt and that is what I found in the Therapist Development Center. I passed on the first attempt and was so excited that I cried!
TDC was amazing!!! I failed my clinical licensing exam (LCSW exam) the first time around, having used other study materials and another prep course. I lead a busy life with two jobs and found the TDC format to be great since it really helps with both creating a study plan and staying organized on top of helping you learn the materials. Amanda, who runs the program, has a strong understanding of different learning styles and it really shows in the program. I loved that the study materials included options for listening to audio, reading quick studies, and forms to fill in (i.e. for notes and quizzes) which I think accommodates all kinds of learners. I also found it really helpful to listen to the audio on the Code of Ethics since knowing the COE is a key part of passing the exam and this audio helped to highlight key aspects of the COE in a digestible way so that you don't just have to read through it yourself. Pick a study buddy to get the program too and you can work through it together! My friend and I both used TDC and passed within the exam within a couple weeks of each other :)
I graduated in 1995 ....could have been grandfathered for my clinical license in 2004 but with 3 small children, maternity leaves and someone telling me to forget it, I quit on me. After a long painful 4 year divorce, I headed back, did my necessary 3 year clinical supervision and didn’t look back on my past. I was overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of facing this exam. I am a very structured and disciplined person. This program structured EXACTLY what I needed to study. Recall I knew like the back of my hand before studying, but putting things in order and slowing down and reading the whole question was what I needed to learn. I have always worked in a crisis environment, so this course taught me clearly what to do. I am a single mom who couldn’t afford this, but it was worth ever dime. Thank you! FINALLY!! I will hear your voice for many years to come.
Throughout the whole test I had Amanda Rowen as the voice reading the questions. The study system was EXCELLENT and the Mock Exams were sooooo similar to the actual test! I am beyond thankful that they reset my progress both times to give me the confidence I needed to pass!!! Thank you TDC!!!
This TDC prepped me beyond what I needed to pass the exam which allowed me to walk in confidently and pass the exam. I had all of the tips and tricks that I needed to feel prepared both before walking into the testing center and throughout the exam. I can't recommend this program enough.
First Glory to God. I studied my butt off. I walks 5 times a week and would listen to the audio during my walks. I have difficultly concentrating and this method helped me focus. I am a horrible test takers and second guess myself alot. I did everything the program recommended expect take a break ( I would not recommend this). I was so focused on the test I lost track of the time. This was by far the best program I have ever used!
TDC helped me through every step and assisted me with my test anxiety. I would highly recommend TDC to those who are in need of a structured system.
Amazing program. I felt over-prepared which decreased my anxiety during the test and I passed the first time.
TDC is a comprehensive program that fully prepared me to pass my exam on the first attempt. The topic 50 topics were a huge confidence booster. It's audio lectures. I took Amanda and Bethany everywhere lol Seriously, This program was a game-changer, and would recommend it to anyone who is preparing to take the LMSW or LCSW exam.
I've been studying off and on since Jan 2020. BBS took 6 months to process my application, then PEARSON VUE made me wait 6 mos more for a test date. Then 3 days before my 12/7 test date, PEARSON VUE cancelled my test due to COVID concerns. I was more than upset. The next available date was late April 2021, but I kept checking their website and found an opening today 12/22 about 50 miles away. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE DRIVE! Thanks so much TDC for the preparation, the continued support along the way and recomending the ASWB practice test. It helped alleviate stress since it looks exactly like the real test, only the questions were different (but a lot similar). I'm just SO GLAD it's over. I NEVER want to have to study this much again as long as I live. I'm not young!, turning 60 in a couple months. Even seniors can pass this with enough studying. Thanks TDC, I've recommended TDC to everyone.
