This test had so much fear and anxiety linked to it but TDC was definitely able to guide the path on so many different areas. It was great to learn and practice crucial things from testing taking skills, to SW vocab and Practice questions. Being able to really apply the knowledge in "test terms" was so essential. There is so much to cover in regards to the ASWB test but this program gave me the understanding that even though I may not know it all, I can still get by with the knowledge I have and Pass. AND I DID!!! Thank you :) <3
This exam prep is AMAZING!!! They cover exactly what is needed to get you ready for the exam, without covering needless items. The explanations helped to ensure that I fully understood what the questions were looking for, and how to prepare for them. During the 2 final tests I scored 78% on both, and on my actual exam I scored a 75%. I think this goes to point out how well the exam prep gets you ready for the exam.
I used the TDC program because it was highly recommended. I studied heavily for three weeks. When I took the mock exams, I tried to make it as similar to the real thing as I could. I took breaks and marked questions I was unsure of. I was completing the mock exams in about 2.5 hours. When I took the real exam, I took about 3 hours due to the body checks they did to ensure no cheating.
This was the only program I used and I watched a few YouTube videos.
I needed 103 questions to pass and I got 123 questions correct.
Great program and worth every penny.
Using the Therapist Development Center test prep materials for my LCSW clinical exam was just right for me. As a primarily auditory/kinesthetic learner, have audio explanations of materials and rationales helped me to retain the materials in a way that feels more accessible for me. Most importantly, TDC designs their test prep to help you make sense of how the questions ought to be answered, using reasoning and critical thinking skills, and how to bring those skills into the room on test day. I passed my ASWB Clinical exam on my first attempt, and believe the use of TDC study materials helped me go in feeling reasonably confident and ready for whatever the real test might throw my way. Thanks to TDC for all of the wonderful time and effort they put into creating such a comprehensive and quality test prep course!
I took the LCSW in October 2020 and passed, it was the 3rd time I had taken the test in 5 years! As a mom dealing with on-line schooling, working full time and just dealing with life in general, I was skeptical, but many of my coworkers passed using the program so I had seen the results. The program taught me HOW to study again and not get overwhelmed. It's really the best program out there.
I am so humbled by this experience after failing the first time studying incorrectly. The therapist Development Center fully prepared me for the LCSW exam. Thank you for the amazing prep that changed my career and life.
So glad to have passed my LCSW clincial exam with TDC. I felt like I was prepared to tackle the questions and although there was some material that I didn't recognize on the test, I had enough strategies to answer the reasoning questions and didn't focus too much on what I didn't know. I also want to acknowledge that TDC was really supportive when I had to reschedule my test in Feb because of getting a stomach bug the night before the exam and extended it again when COVID hit and the test centers were such down. Thank you TDC! Would definitely recommend using this study program to anyone preparing to take their exam!
Not only did I pass my exam, I REALLY passed it. I finished 1.5 hours early, with plenty of time to check my marked questions. I felt confident hitting the submit button at the end. I really do believe this study program was worth every cent and every minute. I took the ASWB official practice test, as well, and while I think it was helpful to use the format the test would actually be in, I don't know that it was necessary after taking the mock exams in TDC; they were very similar.
TDC has been so incredibly helpful! I went into the exam confident and passed by more points than I expected. I owe TDC a HUGE thank you! From the worksheets, quizzes, audio recordings, practice tests, Amanda talking through the rationals, and much more, I had everything I needed to be more than well prepared to "attack" the exam. Keep up the amazing work and I will definitely be referring folks your way!
TDC came recommended to me by several colleagues, both LCSW's and LMFT's. I had no idea what I needed in a study program but had watched my colleagues pass on their first try using TDC. I am so grateful for their recommendation as the program prepared me above and beyond just passing. I learned practical and applicable content and skills that have undoubtedly shaped my social work practice. And I am elated to report I not only passed the exam on my first attempt, in the middle of a pandemic, while pregnant, and moving to a new city- but I scored a 83%!!! Thank you TDC!
