TDC made studying much less stress free. I dos not have to worry about what to study or feeling overwhelmed as I did when trying to study on my own. TDC lays out all the study materials in several different formats which appeal to all the learning styles. I am so thankful I decided to try out TDC

There are a lot of programs and study materials out there, but NOTHING COMPARES to TDC. The entire program is PHENOMENAL !!!!! I was able to study at my own pace and concentrate on areas that needed more attention. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to all social workers preparing for licensure. Don't waste your time, money, or energy on any other program !!!! This covers every topic on the actual exam and FULLY prepares you to PASS. The other suggestion I have is to REMEMBER to STOP AND BREATHE throughout the test. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THE SOCIAL WORKERS WHO PUT THIS PROGRAM TOGETHER. With my dedication and perseverance with TDC I PASSED, actually I ROCKED IT !!!!! THANKS TDC!!!

I took my ASWB exam on 10/15/19 and am proud to say that I passed on my first try! I chose TDC's study program because I used it to successfully prepare for the Law & Ethics exam 2 years ago. I decided to stay with TDC for the ASWB exam because I liked the format, the different types of study materials, and similarity to the actual exam (for this exam, the question stems provided far less information than the study materials, but it was enough to tackle the questions in the same manner as the prep questions). I followed the program almost to the letter, including putting study times in my calendar, and I stuck to it. It was not my usual method of studying, but after taking so many years to get to this point, I was all in. I did not want to take this exam again! I went through the entire program twice in an 8-week period, and my exam was cancelled at the last minute due to power outages. UGH! I reset my brain and spent the next 5 days listening to the lectures once more. I took Amanda's advice and took her into the exam with me. If I was unable to immediately make a choice, I selected an answer I thought could be correct, marked the question and moved on. When I went back, I was able to break the questions down and feel more confident in my answers. I had the "AHA" moment on 2 questions and realized I had misread 3 others, so I changed those answers and I resisted the urge to change any others, which is a huge challenge for me. Trust your first instinct! Walk in to the exam with confidence and try to keep calm. I completed my exam in just over 2 hours, including a 10 minute restroom and water break at the halfway point. I strongly recommend taking that break. It helped me reset my brain, and I felt much calmer and more focused when I went back in. I am pleased and proud that I followed the course so closely and was able to pass on my first try! Thank you TDC!!! --Sincerely, Alicia James, LCSW

TDC was very helpful. I did not do as well as I would have liked on the practice exams that TDC offered. I found that the practice exams were extremely helpful and I learned a lot from them. Even though I did not do well on the practice exams I was still able to pass the real exam. I also appreciated the lectures offered through TDC and how they helped me be able to think correctly for the test. I highly recommend this program for those who struggle with test anxiety.

TDC is truly a wonderful program. It breaks down the test topics into manageable pieces. TDC did a great job helping me to learn what to look for during the exam and assist in getting to the right answers quickly. Highly recommend TDC.

I passed my LCSW exam thanks to this amazing program! Thank you, TDC!! I firmly believe that I would NOT have passed without using TDC! I loved that all the topics were broken down simply into understandable terms without feel like I was being too overwhelmed with information. It calmed my anxiety and greatly reduced my stress. I highly recommend TDC to anyone who needs to take the LCSW exam!! The lectures, quick studies handouts, quizzes, and all practice/mock exams were extremely helpful in my learning and studying process. I cannot stress enough how much it helped me pass the exam. TDC fully and adequately prepares you for the various topics the LCSW exam will test you on. Thank you so much!!!

I decided to purchase the TDC program after reading many of the amazing reviews from previous users. I had recently purchased the Pocket Prep, but didn't find it particularly useful. I felt overwhelmed in trying to devise a study strategy and actually took out some of my MSW textbooks, but that quickly felt futile. The TDC program quelled this sense of not knowing where to start and what to include in preparing for the exam. I felt such relief in the clear structure of the TDC program and enjoyed studying and learning along the way! I felt as prepared as I think I could have felt at the conclusion of my studying. I did the program twice, but only completed one of the full final mocks and then added the ASWB clinical practice test which I felt closely mirrored the types of questions in the TDC program. This furthered my sense of preparedness heading into the exam. I am so relieved and happy to have passed on my first attempt and I do thank the TDC program for this success!

I was so nervous to take the clinical exam. I had a few friends that had taken the exam and they all had their own opinions on how to best study for the program. I knew that I needed a structured study guide and I had hoped to find something with audio. When I came across this program and read the reviews, I knew that I needed to try this program. When I began reviewing the material, I felt so relieved to see the structure, audio, quizzes, and mock exams. I followed the study program over about 2 months and did "okay" in the final mock exams, scoring a 73 and 74. I was so nervous because the program recommended a 75 prior to taking the exam. I worked with Heidi to build my confidence and retook as many quizzes and reviews as I could. I took the exam on 10/26/19 and when I sat down and started felt a sense of confidence because I knew that I had done everything I could to pass and I applied the steps that the program suggests. I ended scoring well over what I needed and completed the exam in about 2 hours and 45 minutes. THANK YOU, TDC!

I have been in the field of Social Work or 20 years and took the LCSW exam 17 years ago and missed a passing score by two points. I was devastated. I have severe test anxiety and put off for many years due to the stress and anxiety of the thought about taking the test again. Then I decided I would finally take it again about a year ago or so. The feature that you can stay with TDC until you pass is super helpful. I had to delay taking the test due to some extenuating life circumstances more than once. In Sept 2019 I decide to face my fears and set a date for the test which was 11/1/19. I studied for 8 weeks leading up to the test. I was nervous that studying with TDC alone would not be enough. However, I did the entire study system as recommended including all of the mocks. You'll be surprised how much you can learn from your mistakes on the mocks. I went through the program twice and felt throughly prepared. I also utilized the coaching that they have available with questions I had. The response to questions was really prompt and the coach really helped me with choosing the right answer on the first/next questions. I am happy to say that I PASSED!! Every area on the real exam was covered by TDC. I was so pleased with this system. I have already recommended it to a friend who passed his test yesterday. Thank you so much to the entire TDC team. I am beyond grateful. I could not have done it without you.

I Passed ASWB-LCSW Clinical Examination on 11/4/2019. TDC system was very significant in keeping myself organized and study only what is required for the test. TDC gave clear understanding of the 50 topics. I loved the Macro topic which showed in the examination. I highly recommend using TDC study system and follow what Amanda would do for the first, best and least interventions questions. Keep up the great job TDC!
