I have taken the Clinical SW Exam two times previously and I honestly didn’t think there were any programs that would be valuable in assisting me to prepare for the exam. I am highly impressed with the level of confidence this program provided me with. I have extreme test anxiety! However, after completing this program I felt confident and well prepared and I was able to execute the expectations of the exam. If you knew my journey, you would be jumping for joy with me. I am extremely thankful for TDC!
I have seen and reviewed other study programs that family and friends have used. They consisted of 3 large volumes and boxes of flashcards and completely overwhelming. This program is far superior because it focuses on knowing the essential information versus reviewing the entire body of social work knowledge in detail. Most importantly, this program helped me prepare for all of the reasoning questions, which was 85% of the test. I went in feeling confident about the test because of this program,
Thank you so much to TDC for providing such an organized and comprehensive study program. I had no idea where to start and the formatting was extremely helpful. I also want to extend much gratitude regarding the extension of my program due to COVID and unexpected life events!
I was very nervous when I signed up for this course. I had originally attempted to study for this exam on my own and was not feeling confident. A coworker of mine had recently passed their exam and recommended this course. This course allowed me to feel more confident and get mentally prepared for the overall test. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who loves to take practice tests and going in depth with the materials learned!
TDC was an organized, comprehensive strategy for approaching the ASWB clinical licensure exam. I didn't use TDC to study for my master's level exam (to become an LMSW) and I felt like it was so stressful trying to learn too much information and utilize question process of elimination tools that were confusing. TDC prepared me for the exam by equipping me with useful test taking strategies and the right kind of knowledge. I felt ready to attack the exam and had very little test anxiety as a result. I also feel like I'm prepared to be a better clinician and am looking forward to putting my knowledge into practice. Thank you!
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.
