I was rather worried I would not pass given that I know so many others who have not. I only studied for about 5 weeks and passed with 124 questions, with a 103 needed. I loved everything about this program and would recommend it to anyone studying for the LCSW exam. It is worth every penny. They focus a good deal on reasoning and judgment based questions which most certainly contributed to my success. I really do not think I would have passed without the emphasis on that. I also love that you can speed up or slow down the audio recordings as well.

The therapist development center was excellent in helping me prepare for the ASWB/LCSW exam. This is by far the most difficult exam I have ever taken. I was out of grad school for over a year and knew I needed help preparing for the exam, as I really did not want to have to take the exam more than once. The rationales, the logic to use, and the practice exams gave me a lot of confidence going into the exam. I finished the exam in 3 hours and felt confident with most of my answer choices. You are only required to answer 103 correctly, and I answered 123 questions correctly. I cannot say enough good things about this exam prep and have been encouraging my colleagues to use it, too. I would highly recommend the therapist development center to anyone who wants to take this exam and pass with confidence!

Pending expiration of my application due to putting test off for almost 2 years, I successfully passed my examination on my first try! Thank you TDC.

I have huge test anxiety, especially after not passing the LCSW in 2019.. a fellow LCSW told me about TDC and it was the best investment!! The preparation and the topics, ESPECIALLY ETHICS, were on point!!! I learned a lot about myself and learned to love this profession all over again with TDC! HEIDI IS AMAZING! I scheduled a tutoring session with her 2 days before and it was the best investment again.... thank you for this program!!! Michelle Hajduk, LCSW

I passed on the first attempt. The LMSW took me three attempts. TDC made it possible. I got the "AHA moment" I am super excited...I passed I PASSED!!!

This was the third time I attempted the test. Obviously the last two times I was not successful. The test was 90% reasoning and prior to this course I was unaware of what they were assessing in each question stem. This course was the reason I passed. Cannot thank you enough as my families financial future was riding on passing this test. Many thanks for sure!!

This program gave me everything I needed to pass my clinical exam the first time! The lectures, the quick studies, and (especially) the mock exams— they all were extremely helpful. I went into the program with a new level of confidence. I appreciate this program SO much and I've already recommended it to so many of my colleagues. THANK YOU TDC!

I believe that TDC adequately prepares you for the exam. I am living proof, I passed the exam the first time.

The TDC study material for the LCSW was easy to follow and helped me feel well prepared for the exam. I followed the course for the most part exactly as recommended. As a working mom I needed structure. I created my own study schedule based on the one they provide. It helped me stay focused and on track. I reviewed the study material 3xs (as recommended). I know! 3xs sound like a lot! But believe me its worth it! However, I focused mainly on areas needing improvement the 2nd and 3rd time around which I was able to identify with the help of the quizzes. One important tip I learned is I avoided merging myself in other study materials to avoid confusing myself. I did use other practice exams, but as far as learning, I only used the TDC. In the past, I would have been up late at night studying until the night before the exam, however I followed all the recommendations up until the day of the exam. I took the exam on 9/9, right after labor day weekend. I spent time with my family, relaxed, just listened to the 48 hour pep talk, reviewed the medication. The day of the exam, I fueled up, took a break during the exam, reviewed and finished about one hour to spare. At times I had my doubts about passing on the first try, but I did it! This is well worth the investment!

This program truly sustained me throughout the preparation and examination process. In particular, during the examination, I utilized the sound advice of Amanda to bring her voice into the questions. That made a huge difference. Several times during the exam I felt panicked and uncertain of my ability to continue on. I leaned into Amanda's voice (in my head) that calmed me each time. I was able to complete and pass the exam. I am extremely grateful and prepared to begin my career as a LCSW
