I put of taking the ASWB clinical exam for a long time because the thought of taking it seemed too intimidating. One of my coworkers who had failed the exam 2 times before took your program and was able to pass. She raved about this program so I decided to finally schedule my exam to force myself to prepare. I went through the entire course and went into my exam feeling confident. I am happy to say I passed on my first try. Thank you so much.

With the TDC program, I went into my exam confidently on my first attempt and passed by a huge margin (I needed 103, and I got 132). But before I purchased my study program from TDC, I was studying all the wrong material. I literally spent months studying the wrong material. I even created 9 different study posters that I plastered all over my bedroom. I thought I knew what I was doing, but I was struggling so much to consume heavy technical knowledge (that I later found out was unnecessary). Then I tried using those acronyms that other prep programs will tell you about, and that was even more of a disaster because those acronyms do NOT work for all case scenarios and I was getting extremely frustrated with how many practice questions did not fit the logic of those acronyms. I never took the exam using any of these study methods because I felt extremely unprepared and fragmented. It was so stressful. I finally decided to purchase the TDC program, and THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION. I can confidently say that I would have failed the exam without the TDC program. I’m not trying to convince you of anything – this is just my honest opinion as a 28-year-old student from Michigan. I am a Type A organized student and the structure of TDC was unbelievably helpful to me. Being able to email unlimited questions to a TDC coach and receive prompt responses that made sense was invaluable. Being able to listen to the audio lectures and also have handouts provided was amazing. The TDC program made my study process feel 1,000 times easier and more manageable. I have so much regret that I didn’t just use TDC from the very beginning. It made the exam feel super easy to me. There will always be some questions on the exam that you have to make guesses on, but when I was taking my exam, I knew within the first 30 minutes that I was going to pass it because I felt so confident. Do yourself a favor and just use the TDC program. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for this program.

This program helped me so much, the structure of the program was the most helpful for me. It was so nice to have the schedule out in front of me so I could keep myself on track and study each category in detail. I felt very well supported by the study materials and I felt ready and competent for the exam!

I signed up for one other site initially, but was getting very discouraged and anxious as soon as I started trying to work with it. I then searched some more on the internet and found your site. And, thank God that I did.
I found the learning materials, the way the course was organized, and the presentation style to be awesome. I was feeling once more encouraged, I followed your study schedule and passed my exam on my first try.
I especially found it helpful taking Amanda's voice in my head into the exam with me. Whenever, I felt unsure of an answer, I just had Amanda read it out loud in my head, and the reasoning skills just kicked in.
Thank you so much for your excellent course. I don't think I could have done it without you, whether it was the learning material or the confidence you instilled along the study journey.
I am very thankful, grateful, and I would highly recommend your study site to any other social worker preparing to write this exam.

The study center did a great job in providing thinking strategies as well as prepare mentally. The pretests and mock exams helped prepare with possible questions and how to respond during the real test.

I felt confident going into the exam after using this study guide. I especially appreciated the test taking strategies - I wrote them out on my scratch paper when I first sat down. And when I arrived at the testing site, all of the other social work candidates had apple juice too!

Thank you TDC!! I passed the LCSW exam on my first attempt on November 23rd. The preparation and guidance that I received from TDC had me feeing confident and prepared. I can not thank TDC enough.

I would like to say that I am so thankful for Amanda and her team for taking time in creating this wonderful program. I passed my LCSW on my first try. I previously had taken my LSW two times and failed and used other study guides that were overwhelming. The TDC program is organized and provides you with what you need to know. I have already recommended this program to two people! Thank you so much and to everyone out there that will be taking it soon; Good luck!

Thank you, TDC. I passed on my first attempt thanks to your help.

I passed my LCSW exam. I have severe test anxiety. I practice my faith and believed that after reviewing the content of this program it was valuable and decided to purchase it. I have spent money on other content that is NOT as worthy. Stay hydrated. Get a note from you physician if needed for a medical exemption to open up your locker. Remember COVID restrictions. I had two proctors allow me access to my locker and a third one did not. I took two breaks: one at question 65 and then at question 125. I kept my thoughts positive and when self-doubt entered I envisioned PASS! Study, review, and keep Amanda in your brain. Go through each phase of the program twice! Your confidence will soar! The ‘Ask a Coach’ was helpful and timely. A coach would respond and provide detailed guidance regarding content and techniques for reducing test anxiety. Remember each question as an individual contact with that specific client. Stay focused. I would recommend The Therapist Development Center to anyone studying for national exams. This program is worth the money. If you apply yourself, with Amanda’s guidance, and repeat the entire content a second time, you too, will pass. I couldn’t believe my score. It was much higher than I had anticipated. My expectation was to JUST pass. I not only passed but I soared. ~ Gwen
