So, I wasn’t someone who passed the exam the first time around. I would also say that I didn’t use the TDC study course to prepare the first time either. However, upon starting your study program, it helped me to better organize my study topics as well as figure out the best study times for me. The course really does cover what’s on the exam. I believe that a large part of my hinderance’s after failing the first two times, was developing test anxiety, fear and doubt. I struggled with my confidence in knowing the material. Once I finally realized what was happening, this last time of preparation, I included more self-care in my studies. That consisted of reading biblical scriptures that helped to replace negative thoughts, prayer, and a lot of breathing exercises, to help my body begin to cope with the anxiety that would come. For anyone out there struggling to pass their Clinical Social Work exam, don’t give up!! You got this!! The light of day is coming. It did for me, March 18, 2022.

First and foremost, thank you so much! In May 2021, I started studying for the LCSW exam using the Dawn Apgar study guide. I read the entire guide and made note cards from about half of the book over a period of eight months off and on. The book was overwhelming and did not help build my confidence in taking the exam. After learning about several of my coworkers fail the LCSW exam, I decided to quit my job in December and focus on studying (as well as take a couple trainings I've been meaning to take). I've really enjoyed the study methods outlined in the LCSW study program. The quizzes and exams were challenging and helped me thinking critically about each question. The written and oral breakdowns of the questions were helpful in processing the material. I included the questions I got wrong from the practice exams into my regular study material. I made note cards of several important study areas including the DSM 5 diagnoses and posted them around the house for constant reflection. I will highly recommend this study program to every future social worker! Thank you!!

TDC gave me a guide to follow which was very helpful to keep me on track. Having the audio explanations was probably they best. I would listen to them while driving, washing dishes, walking. Eventually I could hear how they broke down the questions and got to the answer in my head as I was taking the practice exams and on test day. It was like having a friend/colleague/supervisor there to help!

I am so glad I bought and used the TDC program... Many of my friends studied on their own and did not have success in passing their exams. I passed the first time and more importantly felt confident about taking the exam.

TDC was the only study prep I felt I needed to pass my clinical social work exam. I am so happy I passed the first time. I felt ready as I could be for this exam after utilizing this whole study prep. I am thankful for the great advice along with it. Thank you so much!

I felt this program really helped me prepare for the test. Not only did I learn HOW to take the test, I was able to increase my knowledge in certain study areas. I felt that this program really prepared me for what I was sitting down to do. I scored 75-80% in my mock exams which was pretty close to what I scored. I love how the program breaks down why something isn't the right answer, which is just as (or more) important as knowing why something is the correct answer. I also really love how the test prepared me for FIRST, NEXT, BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE questions. I would (and did) highly recommend this to anyone preparing for this exam.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I was so prepared. I had sat for the exam once before and did not pass. I was completely not prepared before and was overwhelmed and super anxious about taking the exam again. I prepared with your program and even though I was still feeling anxious (I was scoring mid 70's on mocks) going into the exam, I passed!! It felt much easier. I can say this program completely helped me pass my boards. Thank you!!!

I know I could have dedicated myself more to your program and gotten a much higher score, but I am SO glad I passed! Thank you for your help!

Thank you Therapist Development Center! I passed my LCSW exam on the first try with confidence thanks to the organized, strategic study system. I would highly recommend this program!

I am so glad I invested in this program. I had just enough confidence going into the exam to allow me to do well enough to pass. Heidi was outstanding in responding to my emails & providing additional information, support, & helpful feedback. I would/will absolutely recommend TDC to all of my colleagues/friends coming up! Thank you TDC. Worth every penny.
