I took the test a few different times and each time, my score improved. TDC definitely supported me through this journey. I appreciate Heidi so much because a week before my test I completed the practice exam from ASWB and I was not showing much improvement. I reached out for support and Heidi got back to me immediately. She answered all my questions and continued to respond quickly. Her responses were well thought out and ultimately helped me improved my thought process and how I should maneuver through various questions. Thank you so much for all of your support !

Great tool! Appreciated the breakdown of the questions and answers. Passed the first time!

I was very discouraged registering for the LCSW exam ....again. I had taken it 3 times before and I wanted to give it one last shot before I completely gave up. I searched out study guides, and found out about TDC. Some people recommended reading a book, but I know myself, and reading dos not help me absorb the material. I need to have someone tell me as I read. This course was excellent for that. This is a hard test. While you need to know all the recall info, you do need to know that info to apply it to clinical situations, not to regurgitate it. That was the hold up for me from before. I tried to memorize so much stuff, and it didn't really help. I really liked the way the study courses were lined out. I loved the planning guide.I started TDC with about 8 weeks before my exam. I studied 4-5 nights a week and when I took my practice exams, I didn't use any materials. I loved that your score came right up and I didn't have to guess how many points I had or needed.
The tips about not getting hung up (because it may be one of the 20 that don't count) and about not second guessing were great. When I did my last mock, I thought about it that way. I didn't go back on more than about 3 questions and I didn't change any answer.
In summary, it is a great program. It made sense. The study guides were so helpful and made me realize what I knew and what I didn't. I would recommend it to anyone, however DO IT BEFORE THE FIRST TIME! Don't wait to fail 3 times like I did! Get it first. It is worth every penny!
And, don't bother with asking the testing center about juice, fruit or food. The answer is unequivocally no. And that's something to take up with ASWB.
Thank you for everything. And to Heidi, thank you for always answering so promptly.

TDC was the perfect study system for the exam. I feel like it equipped me very well with tools and knowledge necessary to be successful. It allowed me to go into the exam feeling confident, I would highly recommend to others!

I graduated from my MSW program 21 years ago and have spent much of my time in management in hospice. I finally returned to direct Care a few years and pursued licensing. Needless to say it had been years since I have taken any significant tests. TDC helped me get through the CA Law And Ethics Exam last year passing the first time and I knew this program would be my best option for the ASWB. I followed the program and trusted the process. I did not need to reach out to the coaches, but appreciated the ability to “channel” Amanda during the Exam and felt really confident this morning before the test this morning. The questions were comfortably familiar on the test and I was able to finish in under 3 hours. So relieved to be through this and thankful for the folks at TDC. I did join the Facebook page but committed to not viewing/reading it the week prior to testing as hearing from those who had tested multiple times and failed made my confidence drop. Keep up the good work TDC!

I have taken the test 2 times prior to TDC. I have attended a 2 day prep course and It did not compare to TDC. I love that TDC provides info from A to Z starting with getting organize, having a snack mid test, and providing info in a variety of ways (Audio lectures, handouts, quizzes and test). I could not have done this without TDC. Not only did TDC prep me for the test, it has enhanced my overall knowledge for my career.
Thank You TDC ❤️

What an excellent study system! One of the social workers at my organization used it to pass and recommended it to another social worker. We've all been using it since! It's easy to get through, doesn't feel overwhelming in information like the study books, and best of all, teaches you how to take the test effectively. When I was taking the test, even if I didn't know the answer, I was able to figure it out by using the test-taking tips. I highly recommend this system!

I liked the organization and day by day study plan. I followed the 5 week plan and felt it was sufficient, and I felt guilt free having fun on my “days off”. Quick studies were very helpful and am appreciative to have been able to print out the quizzes. Only recommendation is the option to download audios to listen to when offline, maybe through an app for copyright purposes. Otherwise, helpful program!!!

This program is by far superior than Dr D's program and I passed! I felt confident before taking the exam. The prep talks were very helpful! Thanks for your advice about eating a full breakfast and a piece of fruit on exam day. For breakfast, I ate bagel w/cream cheese and two boiled egg. Right before entering the exam room, I ate a banana. On my first try, I did NOT eat breakfast and became sick halfway through the exam. Most importantly 90% of my exam questions were comprised of material covered in your program.
This is a 5 star program. Thanks Amanda!

I can officially call myself, Julia Maurer, LCSW!!!! This program is designed for someone like me- easy to access, short studying times and breaking down information through step by step organization. I studied for 8 weeks- redid the TDC twice and kept the final 2 exams for the very last week. I received a 72% on Final Mock 1 and a 79% on final Mock 2. I felt confident walking in, confident during breaks, and SO confident hitting that "submit" button. Thank you TDC for such a wonderful program.
