I did it!!! What a great way to bring in the New Year (2021). TDC helped me to prepare for, take and pass the LCSW clinical exam with great confidence. The structure and organized materials, along with the audio study sections were essential to my passing, as I am a visual, hands on and auditory learner. I'm so grateful to the creators of this program. Thank you!
Content was not the issue for me on passing, it was nerves and breaking the reasoning questions down. Most study materials out there, which you know, use acronym for answering questions. That did not work for me. I needed to know why I answered a question in a certain way so I felt confident moving onto the next questions. Then the food intake was key for me as well. Unfortunately shortly after my first exam I was in a accident which resulted in the partial loss of my dominant hand. So my exams time was increased to six hours. To long to seat straight through without a break. Having the apple and juice as a break snack gave me the additional stamina I needed to complete the second half of the exam. Thank you, Thank you it worked!
Amazing Study Prep! Much better than any other one out there!! Everything I needed to pass was here. I incorporated all of the suggestions/study tips and was glad I did!! So grateful!
I am so relieved to have found the TDC program. I was studying for over 2 years inconsistently. I had also tried an expensive once a week class that basically was teaching acronyms and how to just get by. I knew I needed something that would give me structure and explanations, which is exactly what TDC did! I passed the NY Clinical Exam by a good margin and surprised myself especially since not being able to sleep the night before the exam due to my nerves. I tackled my New Year’s Resolution for 2020 on 12/28! Thank you TDC for the structure, explanations, quizzes/tests, advice, pep talk and quick replies to questions I had. Happy New Year!!!
This was my second attempt at the ASWB Clinical exam. First attempt was Sept 2020, which I failed by 3 points. I took some time off from studying and decided to purchase the TDC program in Dec. 2020 for my exam scheduled for the 29th of Dec. I believe the program really helped me focus and plan my approach, to tackling the exam. Not only did I pass the exam, I scored well over the required number needed. I would highly recommend this program!
I cannot recommend this program enough--I was a bit hesitant to purchase it at first because of the price tag, but I can truly say that it was worth every penny. TDC provided me with excellent test taking tips, helped me focus and structure my studying, and provided me with such helpful lectures. It focused on the most important topics and helped learn how to do reasoning based questions. Upon entering my exam, I felt extremely well prepared! I looked at a few other study materials throughout my time, and I can honestly say they were not necessary. My success is truly related to TDC!
I'm a well-experienced SW but needed something to make me understand the exam. TDC was the answer. I crammed for 2 weeks. I didn't take any the mock or full practice exams. I repeated the DSM recordings and a few other recordings multiple times until I understood the information inside and out. I finished with a lot of time to spare. The test was brutal. I finished and only reviewed to ensure all questions were answered. I know if I go back and change answers is a NO NO. I passed with getting 120 out of 103 needed. What TDC made me realized the MOST is...there are multiple correct answers to almost every question but analyze the question and rank your answers.
I took my LCSW on 21st December and I passed. I believe that what made a difference was listening to the audio recordings as they are very specific and thorough. Thank you TDC :)
After taking the LCSW several times and failing it each time, I was becoming anxious, depressed and super nervous to take it again. Each time I took the exam, the process and test itself seemed to be harder and more stressful. Once I committed to the Therapist Development Center study plan, I started seeing studying for the test as a "learning opportunity" and that really changed my outlook. With the study plan and Amy Cuddy's "power pose" practice, I went into this test on the 28th with a different energy. I needed 103 to pass and I got 111! Not the best grade I have ever gotten but I WAS SO HAPPY TO PASS! Thank you TDC and Heidi especially who was able to do a one on one session with me a couple of weeks ago. I am so grateful that your program exists!
I truly appreciate TDC I graduated with my MSW in 2004 and struggled with test taking since elementary school. What helped me was the materials and how it was broken down I also appreciated the pep talk as well. I would recommend this program to others. Thank you!!!!!
