This course was excellent. I had been out of grad school for over 20 years and this really caught me up with the new information and solidified basic social work information that I should have been taught in my MSW studies but had not. I would highly recommend this course.

I’m still in shock and disbelief that I passed my ASWB exam last week. I used TDC for both my law and ethics exam and my ASWB exam and I could not be more thankful for the study material and test preparation. The half mocks and full mocks with rationales at the end were invaluable. Not only did the material help me pass my exam but it prepared me to think critically and clinically. The study techniques helped me not panic and think through the question stem. I have already recommended this program to friends and colleagues. Thank you TDC!

This program is is very informative and practical for real life situations.

I am officially an LCSW!!! I want to thank TDC for their program and for the multiple extensions they granted me ( no questions asked). I purchased the program close to 1 year ago ready to study and test. Life had other plans for me and after going multiple medical procedures and chronic illness, I finally scheduled to test in April 2020 (Began studying in January 2020). I was doing well with the material and was finding myself in a focused groove. As you all know, CA went into lockdown in March and my test was cancelled. I was crushed! I was able to reschedule for June but again, COVID and an unexpected move once again forced me to push back to July. Not going to lie, I was starting to feel a little hopeless. I resumed studying end of May 2020. I went through the entire program for a 3rd and 4th time while at home alone with a 3 y/o. I liked that the prep course had the audios because it made it easy for me to study while completing chores and while my son napped. I also snuck into the bathroom for 5-10 minutes once in a while and did lots of driving while listening to the audios :) I finally took the mocks 1 week before the exam. I took a 3 day break in between mocks and was surprised to score 80/76 on the full mocks. Yet I still felt anxious about being ready (thought maybe I got lucky) that is until I listened to the pep talk that Amanda includes in the course. After listening to her words, I finally felt assured that I was ready. On test day: I followed Amanda's recommendation and played my favorite songs on the way to the testing Center. I was lucky enough to schedule testing at a site 10 minutes away from home but I arrived 45 minute early to eat my banana and meditate. I did not study prior to going in (or the morning of) as it only heightened my anxiety and I felt it unnecessary. Despite wearing a mask for the duration of the exam, I felt calm and prepared. I started the exam and I immediately felt confident. The questions were very similar to those in the prep course. I did start to feel "panicked" mid-way through but I remembered what Amanda had said about my blood sugar crashing. I was able to bring in water with mixed in Crystal Light sweetener to mimic the taste of juice. I was able to access this drink (call ahead to see if your testing center allows this) during my break and it helped me tremendously. I went back in and took my last break once I had completed all the questions. At this point I still had about 1.5 hours. I came back in, reviewed only my marked questions and only changed 2-3 "Aha" questions. I took a big breath, completed the survey and pressed complete, closed my eyes and opened them to see a "Congratulations, you passed" notification. I honestly got teary eyed and held back from crying. I felt so relieved and overjoyed! I received my score and noted that I needed 102 to pass, I scored 120. I left and bought myself a fancy coffee and celebrated! I just want to thank TDC for sticking with me throughout this process. I know COVID has made this process a little more challenging but I want to assure you that I did not find the mask unbearable and I was able to get through it. Wishing all of you the best! Thanks again.

Thanks to all the amazing staff, I passed my exam on the first try! ! I found this course to be very helpful in helping me prepare to take my LMSW clinical exam! The rationales and lectures really helped me on the actual test!

The most helpful piece beyond the breadth, depth and accessibility of content, was the structure/study plan! It feels immense! So much to study. The plan makes it manageable. I had been out of school for more than 13 years. I studied macro /community-based SW. I was incredibly anxious about how much the content has changed since I earned my MSW. I know I would not have passed without this tool. My pretest score was 60%. I went through all content 2x. My post tests were in the 80%. Out of the 170 questions, I got 127 correct, and needed at minimum 103 to pass.

The explanations you provided for all the study material were really helpful and beneficial. I was able to understand things so much better and apply what I learned. The lectures were great and the order of information and practice tests building up to more exam questions and time was extremely helpful in getting ready for the actually exam. I enjoyed what I was learning while taking this course, it was very user friendly!
Thanks, Sara

The TDC helped me feel confident when preparing and talking the LCSW exam. I am a person with visual impairment and the audio lectures where very helpful and meant my learning needs and style. I would recommend this testing Prep to anyone. It help to go each review the each topic a few times. Thanks so much!

Due to being in quarantine I had a lot of time to study. I have been studying and using TDC since Late January of this year. I used no other program. I didn’t want to confuse myself so I stuck with TDC. I HIGHLY Recommend TDC, the auditory lectures really helped me retain all of the information. I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the amount physical content as well. I took the exam one time and passed it on the first try. Again, highly recommend TDC.

I passed, needing to get 103 questions correct and I got 110 questions correct. This study system was AMAZING and really thoroughly prepared my to take this test and pass on my first time taking it. Thank you!
