I am so thankful for TDC. This program truly helped me learn more about social work practice and pass the LCSW Clinical Exam.
I really liked this program. I had a concentration in policy and research in my masters program and so I was very nervous about the exam, but I feel TDC did a great job reviewing all the basics and refreshing my memory from human behavior and theory courses. Mostly I found the practice tests to be helpful. My real exam score was within 1% of the score I got on both of my full practice exams and so I think they do a good job of making the practice tests comprable to the real thing. Thanks for everything!
TDC taught me how how to think about the questions and what they are actually asking. I also appreciated that I didn't have to learn every single thing about each diagnosis, therapy, and concept. Instead they did an excellent job of teaching you what you need to know to differentiate between all of these and pick the correct answer. I passed with an 80% on my first attempt!
One and done, BAM!
I really liked this curriculum, it is structured and laid out in an understandable and absorbable way with valuable advice given as to what types and quantities of questions to expect on the test. It really helped to know how to allocate study time. The statement that 80-85% of the test is reasoning questions is completely accurate. That let me know that I better listen well to the lectures regarding how to read the questions by analyzing the stems so that you know what is being asked, and the advice given that your answer should reflect how you would truly respond if the client was in your office in front of you. I loved all the quizzes, and practice tests (half and full mocks), and the reasonings provided for why the correct answer was the correct answer. I believe I passed the test because of TDC! Thanks TDC folks!!!
I am eternally grateful for TDC! There is no denying that the amount of material and studying needed for this test was certainly intensive, but it is provided to you in such a way that it is not overwhelming and makes you feel confident in the material, but more importantly as a clinician. Yes, there were moments of panic in the middle of the test, but TDC prepares you for that to. I would 100% recommend this program to others and again Thank You!
So grateful for this program! I’m so happy I found TDC, which helped me pass my LCSW exam. Thank you for providing an awesome program for study and learning!
Thank you so much this program was what was needed I attempted twice before but was confused on how to study and how deep to go into certain concepts. This broke everything down and really explained everything I need to study and how to approach the test. I feel as I studied like I was a better Social Worker at Work as well as confident during the test. I embraced the uncertainty and it worked!!!
In the future, when I pass the exam
The study material was very helpful and I'm glad I was able to email coaches for clarification on topics I did not understand. I really liked the lectures and wish there had been lectures to cover the rationals of the half mocks and full mocks in addition to the written rationals already in existence.
Overall, TDC was great. I used TDC exclusively for both my Law & Ethics and Clinical exam. Thanks TDC!
I really enjoyed studying with TDC! The materials/topics covered were pretty much spot on with what's on the exam. I felt adequately prepared and the mock exams were extremely helpful in terms of identifying what areas I need to focus more on. I started using Apgar's study book but immediately felt overwhelmed with amount of content I needed to read/study. TDC had just enough study materials that didn't seem too overwhelming. I particularly enjoyed listening to the audios and listened to them multiple times on my commute to work. The quick studies were great for on the go and I always carried them around just in case I got an extra 10-15 minutes to study during the day or in between clients. The final pep talk was also helpful and put my mind at ease with some anxiety I was experiencing. I recommend completing the program at least twice and take advantage of the coaches that are available for any questions/clarifications. The ASWB practice exam is very helpful too. I was a little burned out after taking three 4 hour long practice exams (different days of course) but kept in mind that it was only to help prepare me for the actual exam. Also, please remember your self-care throughout this studying journey. Take some time to relax a bit in between study sessions, during days off, as well as the day before your exam. Good luck to all of you and remember, you got this!! :)
