I couldn't say enough good about this program. I imagined Amanda reading all of the questions and I was able to reason through them with very little difficulty.
A side note - This program not only helped me pass the exam with flying colors on my first try, it also helped me learn how to learn again after a major car accident and tbi.
TDC was fantastic! Comprehensive and insightful. Highly recommended to anyone trying to pass the exam!
Your program really taught how to break the questions down and how to answer them. The information in the program was not over whelming and it's nice how you break it up in chunks.
This course was excellent!!! I felt prepared and confident while taking the exam. Thank you!!!
I have never felt so confident walking in to take an exam before. I was nervous, but not nearly as nervous as I would have been without using this study program. In fact, the night before, I fell asleep with a smile on my face because I couldn't wait to pass the test, and be done with it. I passed with 84%. Before I bought this study program, I was using a study guide book. It was so boring, and I realized after several weeks that I was retaining nothing. That's when I bit the bullet and bought this program, and I'm so glad that I did. It felt like I had my own personal tutor/guide who walked me through the whole process, and made it interesting, and even fun at times. I loved the quizzes and practice exams, and the lectures were great. Thank you for this excellent service, TDC!!
I used The Therapist Development Center for my second attempt at the ASWB exam. I had been out of school for 6 years! For my first attempt, I used another well-known study program. That particular program overloaded me with material and did not have the ability to "Ask A Coach." There was no way I could've retained 5 books worth of material! The TDC provided more targeted learning materials and everything I would need to succeed. Nothing more! The day before my exam I was a bit freaked out because my practice exams were right on the margin. Heidi responded very promptly with some excellent advice that I'm certain helped me with my exam. I work in child welfare and have many colleagues that will be taking the ASWB and I have recommended TDC to everybody.
All i can say is that when i failed the first time by two points, I was shocked as i thought i had memorized all of the info required to pass the test. Within two days of not passing, i happened to have reached out to a social worker who was referred to me to speak about becoming a traveling social worker. I told him i had not passed the test, he immediately told me about this website, i went on that night, signed up, and spent 45 minutes just to see what it was about. I learned so much in that first 45 minutes, specifically that i could have memorized every fact, but that would only help me with 20% of the exam. AS the other part is really learning the ins and outs and everything else. I am an auditory learner, and i would recommend this website to every single person taking the exam. I am amazed how thorough this education is that the two LCSW's put together, and I cannot express enough gratitude for this awesome tool. Thank you, thank you thank you. And don't get me wrong, the exam was still very very difficult. But going into it, i knew i had the tools to get through the exam. I got a 107. I am a very happy LCSW and if anyone wants me to talk about it again, it would be my pleasure.
I absolutely LOVE TDC!! I could NOT have done it without you!!!!! I also used your program to pass the law and ethics exam and I passed that the first time too! :) You really are amazing and even tho I was stressed and anxious, I knew I was well prepared. I did ALL the steps and just kept listening to the audios when I worked out, when I was in the car, when I was doing house cleaning....ALL The Time!!! I took you with me Amanda into the exam and I got so much encouragement from all of you. You were great at responding back to me so quickly and I just CANNOT say enough on how much I appreciate this study! Wow, I did it and I passed and even thru the doubts and fear, I kept going with the help of this study!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
THANK YOU TDC! I appreciate the effort and dedication taken to set up this program! Very grateful I was able to pass!
First off, I passed!!!!!
I am very grateful that a program like this exist where the real exam is targeted.
I would say that although I felt stressed at times, this program really gave me the confidence to overcome my test anxiety. All the tips given by Amanda were right on point and with that she kept me on check throughout the exam.
Another thing that I did not think was possible and this program made possible was that i still enjoyed my life and felt like a normal person while studying and growing professionally.
Lastly, I would say that this program prepared me more than to just past a test, but it really put me in the role of the social worker and strengthen my clinical skills.
Forever grateful TDC !
