I really liked the structure of the program. It helped me stay organized and focused. The best part was the talk that you listen to 48 hours before the exam. The phrase that emphasized “ do not be scared of the test but instead approach it as if you are attacking it.” This was very impactful and it really helped me believe that I was prepared and I had the ability to conquer anything on the exam.
After trying on my own with a different study program i stumbled upon TDC. At first, I was skeptical, then i read the testimonials and was convinced. I used TDC to study and then took the exam again for the second time and failed it by one question. I was devastated. Then i emailed the amazing staff at TDC and Lindsay was able to reset my study program right away. All along, i was in contact with coach Heidi who answered all of my questions. I followed the steps and i took the LCSW again today and I passed.
Thank you TDC, I don't think i would be prepared for the exam if i had used another program
P.S. this time around, i made sure to exercise, I had a good breakfast and lunch, lots of sweet fruits and yes i did take a break at question 85 and ate a plum and some juice, I didn't have an apple. It worked
Thank you
I passed on my first attempt!! Before signing up for TDC, I couldn't seem to motivate myself to commit to studying and I was setting unrealistic study goals. TDC is manageable and helpful in focusing my efforts on what was most important. In the end, I actually felt over-prepared when I was taking the exam and a lot of the recall topics I studied didn't come up at all, but I'm still glad that I was prepared. Most of the questions on the test were reasoning/scenarios for me and I'm glad that TDC encourages us to THINK things through for ourselves as if the client was actually in front of us. Many other programs and people have tried to teach tricks and gimmicks for answering questions you're unsure of, but TDC seems to really want to help turn out qualified clinicians who know how to reason their way through situations rather than taking guesses based on arbitrary rules. So, thank you TDC for motivating me, encouraging me, and focusing my efforts on the things that mattered.
I bought TDC in Spring 2018 with the intension of slowly studying to be ready when I finished my hours. Well, life happened. From being in a major car accident with subsequent bed rest and PT, to getting pregnant and experiencing nausea/exhaustion/pregnancy brain, it’s safe to say I took the test MONTHS after I originally hoped to. The whole way through, TDC was understanding and supportive, giving me extensions while encouraging me to keep going.
Additionally, I really do believe in the recommendation to do the program twice. Once I finished the program the first time, going through it again really instilled confidence that I knew what I was doing, or reminded me of those little nuances that are glances over the first time around. I scored pretty well (in my opinion) on most of the Mock Tests (passing or just passing), but when I disagreed or really didn’t understand the rationales given for the questions I got right, I reached out to TDC and they processed with me until I got it.
Unfortunately, this test is not just about testing your clinical skills, but testing how well you can take and rationalize through a grueling exam. TDC definitely prepared me for that. If I can pass at 8 months pregnant, anyone can :)
I work full time, I am a member of Board of Directors and a mother and the thought of studying after being out of school for over three years was intimidating. This course helped to organize and motivate myself and also give me the confidence to go into the test feeling prepared. I felt like Amanda was with me while I sat for the exam.
I felt prepared and confident entering the exam. If you follow TDC's program you will pass. The TDC team does an excellent job of explaining the psychology behind the questions and how to think through the questions. Thank you all for developing an effective program. I've tried others and I felt overwhelmed and did not retain the information.
This program gave me the knowledge, tools, and the confidence to pass my exam! Every topic I encountered on the exam had been addressed through the program, which left me feeling knowledgeable and prepared when facing the exam. I couldn’t have done it without the Therapist Development Program!
I started studying for my exam while in the middle of a military move. My husband was overseas, and I had a lot on my plate. I failed the first time by 4 points, feeling unprepared by the time I left. The study prep I used did not prepare me for reasoning based questions not did they cover information I needed to be successful. There was soo much material to study, and with school-aged children in the middle of a move is daunting. I turned to TDC after getting settled and taking some time to recoup from the frustrations when I began reading testimonials online and conducting research on other study prep programs. I wish I would have used the program to begin with. Heidi was soo helpful and thoroughly answered my questions. I feel like I know Amanda so well, I hope one day I can meet you! There was soo much support that I went in there and attacked the test instead of letting it own me. I can’t be any happier with how I did on the exam, and I owe it to the resources TDC provided me. Thank you!
This program was awesome! It felt like the information covered were certain select few topics, but these were absolutely the topics on the exam! I was hesitant to purchase the program at first due to the cost. My friend used the program alone and passed her exam on the first try and gave me her coupon code. Although hesitant, the program proved effective! In junction with ASWB Pocketprep, I too was able to pass on the first attempt.
I Passed!! after several failed attempts. I which I had known about TDC first time taking the exam, I might have saved myself alot of stress and anxiety. I felt organized and prepared right from the start, and I followed the program to a tee and it worked!! I would definitely recommend this program. Thanks
