I passed my LCSW examination earlier this week on my first attempt and I am thrilled! I have put it off for so long because just the thought of preparing was so daunting. I purchased the TDC program because I liked the way it was laid out. The organization made sense, it seemed manageable and I appreciated the various ways that the information was taught so that I had a chance to actually absorb the material. While I really liked the lectures, the various tests were the most helpful part of the program. Specifically, the two full length mocks that helped me to realize that a four hour test really isn't all that bad. On the final full mocks I got an 85 and an 87. On the actual exam I needed 102 correct answers to pass and got 125 right, so my final exam score was only a few percentage points off from my TDC scores. If you are feeling hesitant to purchase this program, don't! The price is completely worth it, not only in regards to passing the test, but also just in learning so much information pertinent to our profession -I'm looking at you Code of Ethics! The actual exam didn't cover an iota of what TDC prepped me for, and although the test was hard, I definitely feel like I was over-prepared. I am so happy that I chose this route.

I cannot say enough good things about TDC. They broke down all of the topics for me into manageable chunks so I didn't get overwhelmed. They taught me how to think logically about each reasoning question (which show up a LOT on the exam). I was able to use their study system over 3 months, and took (and PASSED) the exam at 35 weeks pregnant! Thank you, TDC. I'm on my way to becoming an LCSW!!

I just want to thank the entire staff at TDC. I have struggled with standardized testing for as long as I can remember, and TDC really helped me prepare for this exam. I’m so incredibly grateful to finally be licensed, and will always remember the help that was provided through this coursework. Thank you so much for working with me through my struggles, and finally my success!

I felt super prepared using TDC. There was not a single recall element that was unfamiliar. The approach to tackling reasoning-based questions was super and left me feeling confident throughout. Finally, the support from coaches was wonderful! I am so happy I used TDC and will recommend to everyone who asks!

Thank you TDC for helping me pass the LCSW on my first go around! TDC gave me all the tools I needed to feel comfortable and confident for this test. I was definitely overly prepared by just using this study system which was a great feeling! Thank you so much for this program!

I took the test previously and did not pass. I recent took the exam for the second time after using TDC to study. Going in I felt very prepared. The audios helped me know how to think. I was able to use that during the test. I was able to think through each step like in the audios. The confidence I had helped reside the test taking anxiety. I would definitely recommend TDC to any therapist looking to past the exam.

Would absolutely recommend!

I think the material was very good preparation. It was absolutely worth it to go through it the second time. I appreciate that you gave me an extension when I had some unforseen delays in becoming approved to take the exam.

The lectures were really helpful. The information was well summarized. There were excellent test taking strategies and tips included.

I graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2004. I had not seen a lot of this material in 15 years. In PA license is not required, and in VA where I lived there is a license prior to the clinical. When I moved to California in 2011, the BBS was not administering the National Exam, so I spent a lot of time study an entirely different process. Once the ASWB was incorporated, I shifted my studies and purchases AATBS and was given 5 large books to surf through with mock test that only show you how your doing, but not how to engage the material, or answer questions. My husband said you need a study plan, a strategy, so you can relearn the material, and OH My God, I found Therapist Development. I repeated the material twice in its entirety and then one more time S1 thru S5. I felt very prepared. I was confident. The what to do First really did the job, going over the 50 topics Quick studies are amazing, and all the material is just phenomenal. The use of the coach Heidi was awesome even answering questions during the Holiday. Thank you Heidi. Amanda I could go on and on, just know that I took you in the exam a few different times.. and your two year old to get through some of the "normal development". I was not allowed to eat although i called and asked in advance. At question 90, I got up and drank water. I was truly feeling the difference. At question 120, I felt like given up. I actually said just quit, your not doing well. I felt like a panic attack, and I remember Amanda said people think they are having a panic attack, but it is sugar level being low. The next thing I heard was Amanda saying stay with it~push through and get through this EXAM!! and My God I did it~~ thank you and your staff. A glass of Red Wine & Chocolate well deserved!
