Thank You!! Thank You!! TDC!!! I passed my exam today on the first try. I had studied with other programs for three months then decided to get TDC. I studied with the program intensively for one month and reviewed the material three times. The program was comprehensive and provided great structure while studying. I found the audio reviews very helpful since it helped me retain a lot of the information. The program provided valuable test taking strategies including how to prepare for exam day. I felt confident, calm and well prepared going into the exam. Thanks again TDC Family!!! You have made my career dreams come true.

I was very anxious about feeling I could prepare in a smart way for such a comprehensive exam. TDC is designed very well to help organize time, topics and study priorities. Because of the coaching from each person on the recordings I learned to better think through the steps of each question to make the scenarios more realistic in my mind and ultimately feel more calm during the actual exam. Thank you for providing such an easy-to-use tool.

TDC is an amazing study program that will truly help you gain confidence in acing the exam. I really enjoyed listening to the audio lectures for the program. The information was extremely helpful in providing guidance on how to prepare mentally for the test and how to open your mind to really examining the question, stem, and what information is already provided to you to help answer appropriately. I loved how the tests and mock exams gave you a complete rationale in the audio of why each answer is correct and the most appropriate for the scenario. I also liked how it went over the incorrect choices and why they would not be selected. TDC puts your mind in test mode and opens up your thinking so that you will really examine the scenario and point out key words. I would definitely recommend TDC as a study tool for both the lmsw and lcsw exam!

I passed both the Law and Ethics and Clinical LCSW exam on the first attempt using this program. I scored nearly a 90% on the LCSW exam in only about two and a half hours. I have recommended this program to many peers and will continue to do so moving forward.

I passed the LMSW without studying and studied quite a bit for the LCSW test and did not pass the first time by 6 points! I was devastated! So for the last 3 months, I have been plowing through your materials every free moment I had the chance and the information that I learned and clarity it has brought to me as a practitioner is more valuable than passing the test today. I am a more competent Social Worker today because of your program! I am also an LCSW!!! Thank you so much!!!

TDC is worth the money. It is an investment, but worth it. I felt ok paying the price because of the 95% pass rate. TDC is about the same cost as the ASWB exam, so I decided I would rather pass the first time then end up paying to retake it. I initially started with using a different study book, but quickly realized my confidence was not growing. I went into the LCSW exam confidently and comfortably. I passed with a comfortable margin. The final mock exams are indeed a good indicator of how you will do on the exam in my experience. I studied almost nightly with TDC for 4 weeks. I appreciated the audio lectures because they made the material come to life in clear and applicable ways. Thanks, TDC!

I am so thankful I took this course. I heard back from the coaches within a super prompt manner, and with such clear, supportive answers (thank you, Heidi!). The test was challenging, though I reminded myself I was prepared thanks to the guidance of each module. By the end of the practice tests, and then the aswb practice test, it started to seem like this was something doable, and I focused on the next step - each problem as it came. When answering I had a strategy for the first/next and most/best, which was helpful for me in navigating the structure of the exam. Amanda is right - know your code, put yourself in your supervisors shoes and answer from their vantage point, imagine Amanda is in the room with you and picture how you'd reason through the issue if a client were in your office. I will recommend this course to others in the future.

The program was very thorough and it prepared me for the exam. I had a lot to learn and my biggest area of growth for preparation was the reasoning and decision making. I genuinely felt like this program helped prepare me to become a more independent clinician. There is still so much I have to learn, but I was able to learn the basics/principles of social work areas where I haven't done much work (for ex. with elders). The material has been helping me in the therapy room and in addition, I truly appreciate the experience of reading through the NASW Code of Ethics and hearing that lecture a few times. The last time I touched it was in the first semester of grad school. The course has renewed my passion and love for our ethical values and I truly believe it's made me an even more ethical social worker. The Question and Answer service was also extremely helpful when I was trying to further understand the rationales and reasoning. THE most important thing I did during this program was ask the coach (in an email) what patterns she noticed in my questions and if she had any advice for me. It was then that I was guided to look for patterns in my wrong answers and when I realized I was struggling most with FIRST/NEXT questions, so I could focus in on that strategically for the rest of my studying. After that, my practice scores rose by at least 15%. On the ASWB exam, I passed with 121/150 points (I only needed 102 to pass). Thank you TDC!
(p.s. Please let me know if this testimonial will be published with my name and where, so I am able to track it especially since my pic might be involved :))

I learned so much from this program, It's not ALL ABOUT taking the exam - it is also about expanding our horizons and learning the areas we have not yet fully experienced. I was able to look back on the 2+ years I worked with clients in therapy and discover some of the issues where I could have done better - and will in the future. I can't recommend this program enough.

I am forever grateful for the TDC program! I went into this test nervous and afraid of what the results would be but thanks to TDC all of the anxiety and doubting myself slowly faded as I studied! Thanks again TDC!
