Used TDC for both exams (Law and Ethics and LCSW) and successfully passed. This program fully prepares you by giving you the tools to pass the exams. Be patient and trust the process.
I really appreciate The Therapist Development Center !!! I heard about this program when I was preparing to take my LMSW. I used this program and passed on my first try. I purchased the program again for my LCSW and once again I passed on the first try! I studied the program for three months and reviewed the program materials twice. I was nervous walking into the exam but tried to remain confident. After starting the exam and reading the first question I immediately felt relieved. The questions were worded very similar to TDC's. Of course it is impossible to teach everything the exam expects you to know , however TDC does a great job of covering majority of the information. TDC also does a great job training you on how to think to answer the questions. I attempted to watch video's people posted in Social work study groups and quickly became discouraged. How they answered questions was completely different from TDC and I always got the answers wrong. Once I became completely focused on TDC and stopped relying on outside sources, my confidence returned. The only outside information I used was videos from Youtube on the theories from TDC. I am a visual learner so having visual aids help me process information better. I am very appreciative of TDC and know I could not have passed with out them. Their system is all you need to study for any social work exam.
I have used TDC for the law and ethics exam and passed, so naturally I used TDC for the licensing exam. I was 6 months pregnant when I started studying thinking that I would be able to take the LCSW exam hella pregnant...I wasn't. I had to wait and recover. TDC was flexible and allowed to to extend my testing materials until after I had my baby. I always had a fear of standardized tests. TDC helped me to conquer this fear, by preparing me on how to "attack the test". The testing skills and techniques were just as important as the study material. The mock exams were just like taking the real thing. I love TDC and want the world to know it!
This study program was the biggest help; I could pace myself however I wanted depending on my life events and reach out to someone at easy convenience. I needed an extension at least 2-3 times especially when I found out we were expecting. I doubted my memory and study skills with the "baby brain" but this program was so helpful and built my confidence to a point where I felt as though I could walk into the test pregnant and all feeling like I had prepared as much as I could, I could attack the test, and I had prepared
well
THANK YOU!
It was great. I totally felt prepared.
I passed!! I got more than the required amount of questions correct which was nice. I truly attribute my passing score to the skills taught in how to read, and interpret what the question stem is asking. Also the process of elimination that Amanda teaches in looking at what to do FIRST/NEXT. Also thank you Heidi for responding so promptly to my questions. I did not pass the first time and gave feedback related to MACRO strategies and I felt very heard by TDC staff. I loved that a MACRO Audio was incorporated in the study system which truly was a help! I definitely feel so proud of passing, but I am grateful for new skills I've learned through the program.
So pleased to say I was able to pass the clinical exam on my first attempt! TDC prepares you so well to think your way through questions and to retain information that will help you select the correct answers. The journey leading up to these exams can be overwhelming and having this program lay out everything helps immensely. I’m so grateful I found this program and for how much I’ve learned along the way!
I enjoyed the material and went through it all multiple times. I listened to the audio while I commuted to and from work and did the worksheets at home. I am a visual learner so I would sit at home and take notes while listening to the audio. Thank you for all the help and encouragement!
I had a ton of anxiety about this test, but after going through the material, I felt very prepared. There were definitely natural nerves going into the test. However, I have never felt so ready to tackle a huge life event. I appreciate the thoroughness of the program. I can't imagine what the experience would have been had I not studied using THD. Thank you so much!!!
After being overwhelmed for over a year with where and how to start studying, and working my way through incredibly unhelpful study books, I found TDC. This program not only helps you organize and prioritize, but also gives you 4 practice exams to help you nail the exam.
I studied for 4 weeks and got an 88 on my exam. I cannot recommend this program enough!!
