I felt like I learned more with this program than I did in gradschool. It went over and in depth on so many different topics that I may not ever had learned about due to not being in that category or field of social work. I felt like I learned the reasoning of how to approach questions and situations without just memorizing an answer. I currently am a school social worker and hope to one day work in private practice, so this program allowed me to see some different scenarios I may face and already planted the seed of how I should approach them. I wish these ladies would do other courses, not just for the exam, but how to apply in practice because they were so thorough and great teachers.
The TDC study material for the LCSW examine was thorough and spot on. I re-learned a lot of Macro, policy and community organizing information that I selectively forgot since I focus on micro approaches. The TDC mock examines and mini mock exams were challenging and helped me prepare for "how to think" during the actual exam. The ASWB practice exam and actual exam were not nearly as well-written as the TDC test material. I do wish that some of the TDC exam material mimicked the ASWB exam a bit more. I found that the ASWB exam questions were vague and often did not make sense, where with the TDC material, I was able to work through finding the correct answer because of how well-written the TDC questions were. Overall, I highly recommend TDC exam prep. I felt confident in my knowledge going into the exam.
TDC does a really great job at providing and breaking down all the information needed to prepare for the exam!
I have used TDC for my LSW and LCSW exams and passed on the first try with each. I recently successfully passed my LCSW exam on 6/1/22. I felt prepared due to the test taking strategies and detailed review of the material. I also recommended TDC to my friend who also utilized TDC and passed on the first try for her LCSW exam as well. I HIGHLY recommend this program and if you are reading this review PLEASE consider this program as an option for your study program. So, best of luck and thank you TDC for being a part of the process!
Just passed my LCSW!!!! Relieved and pumped would be an understatement. Thank you for providing this program to help me truly understand how to pass this exam. The 2 full mock exams helped me the most in passing because it built my capacity to endure 4 hours , so I highly recommend not skipping those! Good luck, you can do it!
By far the best decision. For my LMSW i purchased other material and still did not feel confident when taking the exam. With my LCSW I knew I needed something more. i started doing research and asking around and that's how I discovered TDC. I learned so much more than I thought I would. The amount of material covered, notes taken, and information provided is so helpful. The test preparation as a whole was reassuring. I have recommended it to every person so far that has asked me about the exam and what I used to study and my overall experience. I would not have passed without TDC! Especially not on the first try. I still can't believe it! Thank you TDC!
The most important lecture is “How to think for the exam”. If you absorb the thinking style they teach and bring it with you to the test, you will be set!
Wow! The LCSW Exam Prep is well worth the money. I truly believe I passed thanks to this program. I will admit, I condensed the program into a much shorter time period to prepare for the test. While I do not recommend this and recommend completing the program in the timeline they set up for you, the program really helped me get ready for the test even in a shorter period of time. I love all the variety of options they have to teach you things including audio lectures, quick studies, practice quizzes, tests, etc. I would listen to the audio lectures during down time or during car rides and found it extremely helpful to have another form of learning where I could listen to something, rather than just having to read everything. All of the practice quizzes, tests, and mock exams were critical in helping me learn and figure out if I was ready for the exam. I highly recommend taking the practice quizzes and tests as many times as you can. This program really taught me how to prepare to take this kind of test, such as learning how to figure out what they would be looking for in an answer, how to rule out certain options, etc. I also felt like it just taught me so much about a variety of topics, but in a concise manner where it wasn't overwhelming. I highly recommend this to anybody preparing for their LCSW exam!
Audios are very helpful to emulate the teaching process, loved the structure and organization of the material. Beginning my studying I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin, TDC provided a clear path on how to study without it consuming my mind and time.
This program helped me tremendously! The mock exams, quizzes and practice tests gave me the best preparation! I listened to the pep talk driving on the way to the exam and it was EXACTLY what I needed to feel successfully equipped! Thank you so much for this program!
