Great system!!! Took TDC study system for both my LMSW and LCSW and passed the first time.
This program works! I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to use this program! The program clearly outlines everything needed for the exam. The recorded audio is great and helps with understanding of the different concepts. The practice exams are the best way to prepare for the actual exam. Thank you for putting this program together. I obtained my MSW in 2007 and due to other obligations I was not able to get my required supervision until the last three years. Therefore, I felt really unprepared for the exam. This program was the best review I've found and if I had not been able to use it I fear I would not have passed the clinical exam. I'm so happy to have this milestone completed in my life and I want to say thank you for putting this program together!!
I passed my exam yesterday. It was my 5th time taking the exam and my 1st time taking it using TDC! I am forever grateful to TDC. They were supportive every step of the way.
I studied 4 times a week with my friend who also used TDC. We held each other accountable! I listened to the lectures so many times, (driving to and from work, and whenever I was in the car, and when walking). We made our own study sheets from the TDC lectures. I probably went through the entire program 4-5 times! Going over the rationals helped me the most! I also went over the ethics lecture several times and the night before the exam!
I had anxiety but I studied until I felt comfortable, and to the point I couldn’t take studying anymore!
Please do not give up! I wrote LMSW on the white board before my test. Even during the exam I felt discouraged but I heard Amanda in my head, saying take a deep breath and push through it! I felt like I had failed mid way through but pushed on anyway. You really have to mentally tell yourself, I got this! When taking the exam I did imagine myself in the office with the client and if that didn’t work I imagined myself being the supervisor.
We all know this test does not define us. You can do it and never be discouraged no matter what!!!! Constantly tell yourself I can pass this exam!!! I imagined what life would be like after I passed the exam and how much free time I would have. I also thought about how many more job opportunities I would have! Two weeks prior to the exam I listened to spiritual music every morning to keep my spirits lifted!
Thank you TDC!!! Thank you for empowering social workers to believe in themselves and pass the exam! You ROCK!
I am very grateful for this program. I am a mom of a 2yr old and find it difficult to do any solitary activities. This program allowed me to listen to the audios on drives to and from work. The quick studies were concise and not over whelming. I appreciated the program stressing that it is a critical thinking test and taught thinking strategies. I am promoting this program to all my colleagues. Thank you so much!
When studying for the exam I felt very overwhelmed and did not know where to start. I tried on my own the first 2 times around and felt defeated. With the odds against me and my job on the line I decided to try this program that I was told about. Taking a leap of faith I decided to do this program. After the first lecture it was very opening and i mostly got ride of my other study material. I followed the program and did what it said to do. When that was not enough I was emailing my coach Heidi Tobe. I was totally convinced she thought I was off my rocket but not only was she there to answer my questions no matter how silly they were but also helped claim me down and remember to breath. She had great tips and pointers not only did her personal touch save me academically but help keep me stable. Heidi I cannot thank you enough for putting up with my emails no matter how late it was, if I happen to sent it twice because I lost my mind, or last minute I was you never made me feel like I could not do this. You and everyone at the therapist development center are the reason I passed oh and me but mostly all of you. Thanks so much. ps Great program I would recommend it to all.
I believe the TDC program is a big part of why I passed the ASWB Clinical Exam on my first attempt. I was able to approach the exam relaxed and with the confidence need to be successful the first time. A veteran would be foolish to not take advantage of such a wonderful program. Thank you!
Thank you TDC!!! I passed my Clinical ASWB exam today in NC on my first try! TDC was the only study program I used and I felt very well prepared for the test. It was crazy how I could hear Amanda in my head during the exam, imagining how she would talk through the options, and remembering her tips. Having an hour commute to work, I was able to get a lot of studying done during my drive, listening to the lectures over and over. Thanks again, TDC. I will absolutely be recommending everyone use this program!
TDC was with me every step of the way. From one failed attempt to a passing one! Coaches were available, always. I went into the exam and ATTACKED it as Amanda told us in the 48 hour lecture prior to exam. Thank you so much TDC! I am soon to be an LCSW (once all my supervision hours are received) because of you!
Never give up and keep moving forward! I almost waited 2 years before retaking my clinical exam for the second time for multiple reasons. I made this failure bigger than a mountain even when I was so close to passing the exam the first time. Sometimes we need extra support and resources like the TDC to get us to the next step! Everyone in the TDC has been truly amazing. The support from coaches, study guides, and practices exams especially the new ones they add were extremely helpful! They were truly there for me until I passed. The suggestions and guidance they give you is helpful and was worth the investment to ensure I passed. Greatly appreciate your team and materials to help me achieve my goal of becoming an LCSW!
I graduated with my MSW in 2004. I became an LMSW shortly thereafter, but finally finished all my supervision hours for the LCSW in Juky. I took my LCSW exam last week for the first time and passed!! I believe TDC was a huge factor in me passing because of the mock exams, rationales, and other information given. I believe that if you truly understand what the question is really asking for, you will go a long way. Thanks TDC for helping me!!
