I just passed my LCSW. I’m a historically horrible test taker. When I took my first LMSW exam I missed my 2 points and simply lucked out on my second exam. I knew with this exam I needed something that gave me a better direction of what I needed to study, since the test is so broad. This gave me a great way to listen on the train, while running errands, take practice tests which is exactly what I was wanting. Seriously thank everyone single person that had a hand in creating this!

I still can't believe it. I passed my exam today and on the first attempt. I have been mentally preparing myself for approximately four months. During that time I studied on and off with TDC. Three weeks before the exam I began studying daily. Two weeks before I requested the assistance of TDC tutor and worked with Heidi who was very supportive. The information I obtained was very helpful. I then repeated the program twice and listened to the audios on multiple occasions. Friends and family were all encouraging. The week of the exam I took an entire week off from work. During that week I exercised and practice meditation. Two days before my exam my grandmother passed away. Preparing months in advanced helped me pull through because emotionally I don't know how I did it. The day before I drove to the test location to make sure I wasn't late the day of the exam. On exam day I worked out, had breakfast and left y house early. I drank a juice box in my car like Amanda Rowen suggested for the sugar boost and started walking to the building. I took a deep breath as I entered the lobby. I took a deep breath and released all my stress. I felt confident, rested and calm.

I still can't believe I passed! Best of luck to all of you! TDC was an essential tool and key to my success.

TDC was lifesaving!!! I had taken this exam three times prior but the schedule guide as well as the explanation from TDC made me understand what the test is looking for. TDC was a great investment and I would recommend it to everyone!!! THANK YOU TDC!!!!

I am so happy that I heard about TDC on a LCSW group on Facebook. Because this program offers audio as well as visual aids it worked well with my study needs. The way each topic was presented in multiple, easy to learn ways, was very beneficial. I also liked that you could complete the course more than once. I listened to the audios a second time the week before the exam. I loved that there were multiple tests throughout the program and having two, 170-question exams that were set up similar to the actual exam, was invaluable, as was the suggestion to take these exams at the same time as the actual test. I had to take my test at 8:00 am, which while I am a morning person, I was a bit concerned about because of travel time and what time I would need to get up to get there. I was nervous the day of the test but felt very prepared due to utilizing the TDC program. I would, and have highly recommended this program already and will continue to do so. Thank you so much to the creator's of TDC for helping me prepare for and pass this difficult exam.

I'm a licensed LCSW in CA, and have been in ongoing clinical practice since 2003. I'm relocating to another state where the national exam is required, and just needed to "get this done" while in the process of selling my home and preparing to move. This program was exactly what I needed and gave me a framework to use to knock it out. Well done!! Thank you!

I would have to say that going into studying for the exam, I had no clue where to begin, I felt all over the place. Discovering the TDC and going through the program was THE best thing I could have done to prepare. Not only did I go into the exam feeling prepared, I PASSED my first time taking it! I remembered the audio sessions when answering questions on the exam, and the TDC Mock Exam questions/rationales totally helped with my comfort in determining the correct actions to take in the scenarios, I HIGHLY recommend this program and I am sooo grateful to have experienced it!!!!! Thank you TDC!!!!!!

I just started using TDC material this year. The audio material was very helpful and I would hear and write down notes every time I heard the material. I was ready to give up before I came across this material. I had tried for so long. Thank you TDC.

So happy that I passed on my first try! Thank you to Amanda and the Therapist Development Center team for organizing a study program that made sense. Many many thanks!!!

Very helpful program, especially for someone who needs to take care of little kids At home in time of pandemic and has a full time job in the same time. Program provides structure necessary if one wants to pass.

This has been an awesome program. I started studying with TDC in January to prepare for a late March exam. I was so ready! Then, well, pandemic, exam canceled. I rescheduled the exam for August. I was worried that I'd be foggy / rusty. I took a practice exam and immediately heard the TDC team in my head aiding my reasoning and thought process. (It doesn't hurt that Amanda sounds like Lauren Graham. Who doesn't want to hear Lorelei Gilmore when taking an exam?) I was then able to identify areas to brush up on and utilized the program to attack those areas. I sat for my exam 3 weeks later and did quite well! I'm so grateful for the program and will definitely recommend. Not only did this course help me pass the exam on my first try, it has also made me a better social worker in practice!
