I passed the LCSW exam!! I purchased the TDC exam prep program at the recommendation of several co-workers who studied TDC and passed the LCSW exam the first time. This was after I purchased and studied another program and did not pass the exam the first time. The other program focused more on recall rather than using analytical thinking and preparing for clinical practice. I followed the TDC program listening to the audios, studying handouts, taking all of the mock exams, and studying the SW Code of Ethics. I listened to the audios driving to and from work, on walks, and at home. It was helpful listening to the audios several times to reinforce the materials. All of the program focuses on the essentials. Amanda's voice was calming and yet motivational. The morning of the test I followed my usual routine and ate a good breakfast. I listened to Amanda' pep talk. I took the exam mid morning and followed her advice of eating a piece of fruit before the exam. We are not allowed to eat a snack once the exam begins. So, I also ate a granola bar. I paced my way through the exam and as she advised did not get hung up on questions. The strategies learned helped me focus during the exam and how to analyze questions. And, the program strengthened my clinical skills which can be applied in practice. Thank you for this wonderful program!!

I was extremely anxious about whether I would pass the LCSW Clinical Exam or not, due to talk about how many do not pass and the test being mostly application. I began to study and all I had was a downloaded version of the book prep, from the jump I knew I was not going to get what I needed from using that. I remembered my supervisor mentioning TDC and I went to look at reviews of the program in my facebook group. I began studying with TDC mid June and finished the first time late July. I stopped for 3 to 4 weeks, due to an increase in my workload. I started back the beginning of September and took my test on the 23rd, passing the first time! I was even more comfortable than I expected taking the test and felt very prepared. This study course allowed me to pay attention all the way through, while studying and taking my exam. I'm so grateful I went this route! Thanks TDC!!!!

Deciding to use TDC was a great decision for me! I passed my exam on the first try and felt very prepared and confident going into the exam. I am usually a self motivated and organized person but with so much material to study for my exam, I was feeling overwhelmed and wanted extra support. TDC provided a great layout of all the material that will be covered on the exam, along with a timeline that I used to set my own pace to study the material.

The information in quick studies/ listen & learn/ etc. was extremely helpful to know and good for building confidence in knowledge but there were not a lot of test questions related to the material. (Maybe 10 total questions regarding treatment/ development theories, medications, diagnoses, etc.) The practice tests were very helpful and having more of those could be helpful.

I can not thank this study system enough for helping me pass my LMSW exam. After failing my test on the first attempt TDC stayed with me until I passed and provided me with the confidence to keep at it!!

Thank so much for staying with me until I passed. Special thanks to Heidi Tobe and the personal coaching session that taught me how to read and look for what they are asking in the question stems.

Third time is the charm. Today I passed my LCSW after 2 previous attempts. The first time around I used a different study program and wasn’t even close to passing. Last time I used the therapist Development Center study material and didn’t pass by 4 points. This time around I completed all the material every lecture every mock test and reviewed my notes and took all of the advice of how to think for the test. I also reached out to a coach for some last minute tips for studying and received a quick and through response and was successful today in passing the exam. Thank you for this great program it fit my study needs and helped me pass this exam.

I passed !!! I'm very happy I used TDC I felt it helped me focus and the online lectures were a big help.

I love TDC! I felt so confident going into the test. I studied for 6 weeks. As I progressed through the program and took the mocks I saw my scores steadily improve. Not only were my scores going up I was getting through the mocks a lot faster. Taking the test during a pandemic while wearing a mask was a little tough. I used the strategies taught to immediately eliminate incorrect answers. It was really helpful to focus on what the question was asking to help with my thought process. There were a few questions that on first glance I had no idea what the answer would be and I panicked a little. Using the strategies and what I learned helped me to eliminate 3 of 4 answers, several times. I found myself flying through the test and finished in an hour and a half. I thought for sure I made mistakes and began reviewing my answers. After about 20 questions I was filling pretty confident and just hit the submit button. A huge wave of relief took over when I saw the "Congratulations, you passed" message. It was the culmination of a long journey. Thanks TDC for helping me cross the finishline

TDC was awesome in providing me with information and structure which allowed me to pass my exam. The mock exams were a true indication of my readiness for the clinical exam. Thank you TDC!!!!
