Thank you TDC. I passed the first time!!! I recommend doing as many of the practice quizzes and mock exams as you can. I did not get to utilize them all and feel my score would have been higher if I had. Though passing is passing so I will take it....
TDC provided the correct thinking and reasoning for the Clinical exam. Organizing your thinking, by what it could not be and then arriving at the correct answer in a timely manner. Before TDC, I tried everything recommended to me, starting with several other systems of study. I effectively knew the wrong answers by heart before TDC. I could have saved myself alot of grief and time lost, by using TDC to begin with.
I felt confident after scoring up to 120 on the final two mock exams. I applied for accommodations after receiving the required information from my doctor. I actually advocated for myself and it feels good to have done so. I prepared my fruit and drinks as suggested. I ate my breakfast protein and carbs, had my fruit and juice before I entered the test site. I leaned in, marked answers for review, had my snack at question 91. I finished up early, had time to review my marked answers, eat and drink a little more, completed the survey and then pressed the button. The message on the screen read you passed. I experienced a Hallelujah moment. I was more believing of what the paper read once I had it in my hand. I needed a score of 103 and I scored 110. Thank you so much TDC and especially Heidi who was with me all the way. Let folks no that Friday 13th is not a bad luck day.
First I thank my God, Jesus Christ for blessing me to pass the exam. TDC was a blessing sent by God to me and I am so glad to have had it. Amanda is an amazing teacher, I felt comfortable with her from the first audio tape. Amanda's test taking strategies were very helpful. I believe the reasoning skills were most helpful to me in building my confidence. I not only then knew what I got wrong but why I got it wrong. The practice tests allowed me to gain insight into what areas I needed help. I prayed and called on God throughout the exam to help me and He did. Amanda at times I imagined you there with me reasoning through what comes first or next as I answered. I had confidence this time, that I didn't have the past times I took the exam. Thank you Amanda Rowan for your willingness to work hard putting this system together in an effort to help us become effective clinicians. Thank God for using you to be a blessing to so many.
I have already recommended this system and will continue to do so.
I passed the LCSW exam on December 09, 2019, with 109 correct answers over 102 correct answers required to pass. I believe your materials are not overwhelming and are just the right amounts that covered what is needed to know,learn,and reason. The TDC team did a very good job by creating this study system. Without the TDC, I would have lost my motivation to study and take the exam. Thank you Amanda and all the team.
It was a journey. Having a full time job, children, and grankids all living at home. It was never quite during the day. I woke up everyday at 4AM and begun studying from 4:30 until 6:30 with weekends off. I did what the audios recommend, good sleep before, work out before, and a good breakfast (AM Test). Thank God I passed
The course was an amazing study guide. It provided me with great detail on topics and explanations for all the questions. I believe having the quizzes and multiple tests made a huge difference in the way I studied. I felt overwhelmed when I first started studying for the exam since there is just so much material, however this course provided me with a form of study guide and schedule. Overall, the material was great and thankfully I was able to pass the exam.
Thank you!!! A friend told me to use this program for the exam and I am really glad that I did. I passed on my first try and felt prepared with the reasoning questions which made up the majority of the exam.
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!!
