The TDC study system helped me to feel prepared and confident for my CA Law and Ethics Exam and exceeded my expectations for my LCSW Exam. My test anxiety disappeared after just a few questions when I realized that my reasoning and critical thinking skills had been sharpened and I was more than prepared to conquer the entire Exam! I passed on my first attempt and will forever recommend TDC to any and all colleagues.
I had recently requested an extension as my husband was about to be deployed. I was going to wait another 2 months because I wasn’t feeling confident or ready to take the LCSW exam for the third time. I decided to go ahead and schedule it before he left, because we can make excuses every day about why we “aren’t ready”. I scheduled my test for 8/2. I listened to the final pep talk and drove to the testing site. I am beyond excited to report that I PASSED this morning! Thank you TDC!
TDC is a far superior study course to anything else I have used. I would recommend this program. I spent most of my time studying exam questions and listening to the audio's. I would and have already recommended this program to many of my friend. Heidi was an amazing coach and answered all of my questions above and beyond what I expected. I put in the time and effort to study, but TDC did the hard work for me by creating this program. THANK YOU TDC!
This program helped me to "turn off" my everyday social work brain that I use in practice and help me to think like the test. I had failed it once before and was reluctant to want to try again. The study materials provided in this program were user-friendly. I found that the tests especially helped to narrow down the topics and focus on the areas I still needed to study. GREAT PROGRAM!! And I passed the second time after using this :)
I took the test and passed on the first attempt with an 84% thanks to the Therapist Development program. I felt very prepared for test with this program. I also bought Dawn Apgar's books and felt very overwhelmed with the material. NONE of those details that Apgar covered were on the test. This program was far superior as it focused on the thinking behind the questions and how to answer them versus trying to just memorize a huge pile of information. I was very surprised to find that 95% of the test was application not memorization. The course is all you need to pass. thank you so much
Thank you TDC. Overall this system is excellent and I think that it is awesome that you stick with people until they pass including the no cost extensions. I also appreciated the prompt responses to questions and the personal attention that was immensely helpful in talking with people to help overcome barriers. I think that this time really listening to the final pep talk and going in and attacking the test aggressively was a big part of passing.
I am so grateful for the TDC Program. It is truly incredible and designed for anyone who takes it seriously and wants to pass their required exams. I know for a fact that I would not have passed mt Clinical exam without TDC. It's not just the materials and facts, but it's also the "how to" pieces. The break down between First/Next vs. Most/Better; making sure our brains recognize when recall is needed versus reasoning. It's truly an AWESOME program and I would recommend this to anyone and already have! Thank you TDC for all your help and coaching.
I’m confident TDC made the difference. I had been studying with different materials, but when I started TDC everything clicked and my confidence soared. The mock exams really helped. I PASSED!!!
I took the LCSW oral exam for the second time June 6, 1987. I did not pass. I have worked as a Social Worker for 36 years. I had given up hope of ever passing this exam. However, about 6 years ago a co-worker encouraged me to attempt again. I was not at all confident that I would be able to achieve this goal. However, with the support of my family, my work family and TDC, I am now a LCSW!! I still can't believe this happened!!
Your program was so well organized, clearly presented, well managed and comfortable. The small steps were easy to manage (mind you, not simple, but easy to study) and worked to build my confidence. The constant reminders re: "how to think" were so helpful. The study guides, tests, and answer explanations were excellent. It was as though you took years of study and put it into a few hours. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the success of other Social Workers. Thank you for helping me achieve a life long goal. Thank you.
I am over the moon to have passed my LCSW exam first time, and i don't think I could have done it without TDC. Having an outline of how to study, understanding what the test was testing, having materials in different formats and the excellent support of TDC coach Heidi definitely got me through. Although there were a lot of questions on the test I was unsure about, the course helped me to rely on strategies and have confidence in my judgement. In the past i have struggled with test anxiety, but after completing the course twice, i felt ready and prepared. Thank you TDC :-)
