I work in a very high-demanding field (child welfare system) and crises with families and children are the norm in this field. My biggest worry was finding the balance of being able to study adequately, while balancing high demand of professional and personal needs. TDC is truly phenomenal and I really learned a lot, especially how to "read between the lines" because some of these questions were very tricky. I highly recommend those pursuing LMSW and LCSW to use TDC as the foundation to prep for the exam.

What are you waiting for? Go ahead and invest in yourself and purchase this study program!! Sure, it's pricey but it's totally WORTH every cent! On 9/4/2020 I PASSED my ASWB Clinical Exam on the 1st attempt! Honestly, it was due to TDC (amanda & Bethany)!!! The study system is thorough and covers everything you need to learn. I love the "Listen & Learn" audios. I printed everything and organized it into a jumbo binder and wrote all of my notes directly on the paper as I was listening to the audios. I liked how I was able to take quizzes, partial and full mocks and review my answers and rationales to determine where I went wrong. A few days before my exam I was emailing with Heidi who gave me some great tips and suggestions as my testing anxiety kicked into high gear this week. I've had a headache for 3 days and no tylenol could help it. Finally now after passing I'm feeling much better. Testing anxiety is real! I have a 1 and 5 year old at home, so I made arrangements with my husband, my parents and in-laws and came to a hotel the night before so I could get good rest, and get into testing mode and try to relax myself. I put lavender oil on my face mask because I knew I had to wear the mask the entire time during the test. I completed some deep breathing exercises before I went into the testing site and once I got to my assigned seat. Then after question one popped up, I took about 7-10mins and I took my dry erase board and wrote down all the different meds for the various disorders (only the brand name lol), wrote down Freud, Piaget, and Erickson's stages.. wrote down various disorders and the timeline for those disorders. I wrote down FIRST/NEXT and wrote 1, 2, 3, 4. I took a break around question 103 because I was on a roll and didn't even realize I had passed question 85, LOL! I went out for about 7-10 minutes and sipped some of my water (they said I couldn't open my juice or it would be a violation), I walked around and stretched. I went back in and the rest is history! I felt pretty good honestly once I hit the continue button. I marked a few questions and I did change my answer on two of them and then remembered Amanda said to leave it alone unless there is an "Ah-ha" moment so I proceeded to submit. I was elated to see the "PASS" on the next screen! When I received the unofficial score report from the attendance it said I needed 102 and I got 104. Not big of a gap but its a PASS so thats all that matters! Thanks again TDC!!

So thankful for this program. After struggling to pass the exam the first time, I felt in over my head with the amount of content and felt confused as to what to do differently to prepare again. This program saved me! Wishing I would have known about it earlier. 100% would recommend! Thank you!

I passed my ASWB Clinical exam on the first try thanks to TDC. I registered for the September 1 test date back in mid June and swore that I would buckle down and study all of July and August, but being the procrastinator that I am, I didn’t really start to study until the second week of August. TDC is so amazing because after the first week and a half of studying, I was ready to go and started feeling pretty confident, so much so that I second guessed material covering all of the test...but it did! Amanda and team present the info in such a pragmatic and approachable way...I just can’t say enough about this wonderful program. Thanks a million!!

I used TDC for my LMSW exam and passed on the first try.
I was hopeful that TDC would give me the same results for my LCSW exam and sure enough, it did! It’s evidence based for sure! Thank you guys so much! You gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in my career!

The Therapist Development Center is, without a doubt, the best study program! It is worth every cent. I needed 103 to pass and got 121 on my first attempt at the LCSW exam. They prepare you with several quizzes and practice tests to get you comfortable with the way to answer. Their lectures are great too and they provide study material that isn’t overwhelming, but on point. I studied for about an hour to two each day for 5 weeks prior to my exam date. Without this program I don’t think I would be as confident and prepared!

I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude to the TDC team for helping me pass my LCSW exam on my first attempt. I was worried about taking the test since I have not been in school since 2008. My colleagues highly recommended this program and I can see why. All the tools were very helpful, especially the mock exams. Thank you to Amanda for creating this program and a very special thankful to my coach Heidi Tobe. Heidi was with me every step of the way and provided me with quick and thorough answers to all my questions! Not only did TDC help me pass my test but it made me a more highly skilled clinician. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

WE DID IT!!! I deliberately used "we" as this entire experience was a group effort!! I felt confident and prepared when I took the exam. TDC was supportive in creating a manageable structure, attending to multiple learning styles along with focusing on providing effective tools with how to take the exam. I was absolutely set up for success with this beast of an exam. Thank you for your dedication, passion and support.

I am so thankful for this study system! I wish I knew about this system in preparation for when I first took the exam. I had taken it three time’s always so close to passing. I took it a 4th time after studying with this system. I didn’t have anxiety like previously. I finished 30 min early. I was 3 away from passing. I was so disappointed. The coach was so supportive! I resumed studying and reviewing the lectures and material. I went and took the exam. I didn’t have any anxiety. I kept telling myself I could do it! I followed the tips and reading each question carefully being sure of what was being asked. I finished an hour early with plenty of time to review. I used all the time I had to review the marked questions. I PASSED! I am beyond thankful because of TSC another dream of mine has come to fruition. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

I loved taking this study course! I absolutely loved the audio lectures since I have learned that I am better with audio material. I participated in (3) other study systems over the years before this one but I loved the organization of this course the best. Everything from the study plan to the half and full mock exams with the rationales were just what I needed to prepare. The course consisted of excellent opportunities to practice. I really enjoyed being able to ask the coaches clarifying questions when I was not understanding a certain concept/type of question. In the past, I scored really close on my previous two exams and missed them by 1 and 2 points. So, I just needed a little more understanding of certain topics and this course definitely helped me fill in my knowledge gaps. Not only did I pass my exam, I exceeded my required score to pass by 5 points! I walked away feeling like my investment into this course was well spent and the time I dedicated to following each step of the course paid off in the end. I am so happy and relieved to finally have the weight of passing this exam off my shoulders. I have already recommended this course to friends! I thanked God for leading me to this course and blessing me with your virtual support! Keep up the great work! You all have an amazing gift!
