Thank you TDC for thoroughly preparing me for the Clinical ASWB Exam! I have been a Medical Social Worker in an Acute Care Hospital for 24 years. Being licensed was never a requirement for my position and my priority was raising my family. Three years ago, it became a personal goal to get licensed and today THAT happened! The key strategies Amanda laid out for us (reading each question word for word, imagining the client in my office, taking on a supervisory role and of course imagining Amanda right there with me) truly helped to ground me and guide me in sorting out what comes "first", "next" or "best". The program further gave me the confidence to approach each question keeping in mind the ethical values that guide my clinical decision making such as client self-determination/autonomy, ensuring safety and establishing a therapeutic relationship. I would highly recommend following the study plan outlined by TDC!

I passed my LCSW on the first try! The exam felt like I was taking a test with TDC. I scored an 80% and a 76% on my final Mock exams. I needed 102 correct answers and got 112 correct answers. I only used TDC to study and did not use any other study materials.

Thanks so much to TDC, I passed on my first attempt. I felt super confident going in and finished the exam 45 minutes early. Super grateful for this program, it's worth every dime!

Thank you TDC!! The program helped me develop a schedule that was easy to manage. Prior to TDC I was overwhelmed by all the study information out there. Once I signed up and saw what the program was like, my anxiety decreased significantly. I felt prepared going into the test and always referred back to the lectures with Amanda when I was second guessing myself. Thank you again, I couldn't have done it without TDC!!!

I have much anxiety with taking test and the LMSW exam was a horrible experience for me. I lost my hospital job due to not having my license in time, then got into a horrible accident on the way to a tutor due to my stress and anxiety level regarding the exam. I then gave up for a year because I found a job that did not require it and it was causing to much stress and money for me to continue to retake it. For that exam I used other study guides and programs and never fully had confidence. From the first week of studying with the Therapist Development center I felt confident to take the exam. The program was also very helpful in my current job and I was able to utilize what I learned with my clients today. Due to COVID my exam was rescheduled a few times but I was finally able to take it on 7/17/20 with a mask for the full exam and I passed on the first time!!!!

Thank you, TDC! After taking the LCSW exam once before and failing by two points, I decided to try your program. I absolutely loved the audio lectures and quick studies, and found the practice exams with answer explanations extremely helpful. I took the LCSW exam yesterday for a second time and I'm so excited to share that I passed! Thank you, again, so much! I will definitely be recommending your program to everyone I know.

I have a history of test anxiety and using this program helped me feel significantly more confident when sitting for the exam. I was able to imagine the quick study guides and audio recordings with Amanda when I was answering questions, which was super helpful. I took this exam 2x prior where I missed passing by 3-4 points and felt really upset and jaded about the LCSW process. This study guide process made me feel capable and reminded me of my abilities as a social worker. I feel really grateful for this study guide in helping rebuild my confidence in taking this exam. Thank you -- I can happily say now that I am an LCSW!

I cannot express how helpful this program was and would highly recommend this curriculum to any social worker preparing for the ASWB exam. The exam itself seems so daunting that it can be difficult to know where to start let alone how to tackle the material. The most beneficial aspect for me was teaching me how to critically think and assisting me in examining each question stem with the mindset of what knowledge or ethical value the exam was testing me on. After completing the program twice and analyzing my mock exams, I approached the true exam with confidence that I would be able to work through a majority of the test questions and select the correct response. I passed the exam on my first attempt with ample points above the threshold. My score was reflective of what my scores were on the mock exams (mid to high 80s). If any social worker is weighing whether the cost of the program is worth it, my answer would be it absolutely is! Thanks, TDC, for getting me through this career hurdle!

I am so thankful for TDC and its support team. TDC was fundamental in prepping me to take this exam. The TDC help desk was great, they always got back to me quickly when reaching out to them.
I used TDC for both my LAW & ETHICS and LCSW exams. I very highly recommend this program!

Needed a 102, got a 115 on the first try. I feel like the practice exams were such a big help in being prepared. Thanks!!!
