I took the exam actually three times and wanted to give up. I purchased other study materials, and failed the exam. I purchased an in-person weekend course in Atlanta, then failed the exam. I committed to FaceBook study groups and was given tons of materials from colleagues, and still did not pass the exam. But when I purchased TDC after a recommendation from another colleague, it changed my life. From the moment Amanda and Bethany began to speak, I felt this would be different. I realized quickly so many ways I'd gone wrong in the past. I studied for eight weeks and followed everything Amanda and Bethany told me to do. I PASSED! Thank you for making the course so easy to follow and for all of your guidance and support. I literally felt like you two were there with me while I was testing. I completely recommend TDC 100% !!

My life is hectic like everybody else. I struggle to balance work and home and studying. I have test anxiety and it was taking over. Once I reviewed this program a few times, things clicked and it made it much easier to retain subject matter. The mocks were a great help as they mimic the exam that I took and I was able to handle next/most/best questions a little better with Heidi's voice in my head!! I did not use any tutorials on you tube as they were confusing to me. In addition, I ordered the NASW-PA Social work Licensure Prep Manual for LSW and LCSW. I reviewed it briefly 2x and failed miserably in the mock exam in the back of the book the night before my exam. I decided to put it away and the next morning I reviewed the mocks that I took through TDC. I went into the exam feeling confident and had time to review all answers 2x before submitting my results. Thank you to TDC for giving me this opportunity to pass my exam on the first try!!

I would recommend TDC to anyone. After failing the exam back in November, I felt defeated. This time around, I felt much more prepared and confident going into the test. I feel that the program did a great job summarizing the topics presented on the exam and also gave me good strategies on how to answer questions.

TDC is an amazing comprehensive program. I am super happy for have purchased it. I passed at the first time I took the exam. When I compare what I knew about social work, therapy, interventions and everything else for the profession, I feel so much more prepared as a professional. TDC team is awesome. Heidi answered all my questions extensively and quick. My suggestion is that you follow every step of the program, listen to what Amanda and Bethany say and repeat the steps. TDC helped me to accomplish my goal of becoming a LCSW and made me a much better therapist. I love you guys. Thanks Amanda, Heidi and the entire TDC team.

I was close to not passing (I got 107 correct out of 170...and almost didn't get to all of the questions in the allotted time), but I actually DID pass! Thanks for all of your guidance. Standardized testing has always been hard for me (extra hard sitting in one place for 4 hours - I wish they would allot break times). The entire situation brings up lots of anxiety for me, but your practice exams were exactly like the actual exam, and the audio files really gave lots of strategic guidance and comfort. Merci beaucoup!

I tried one other study program and it was not for me. Several colleagues were raving about TDC so I decided to try it. I immediately could tell the difference and realized that listening to the lectures and reading the quick studies really helped solidify the key concepts. The ethics lecture was also really helpful and having the final pep talk was ESSENTIAL. You all broke it down perfectly and I could hear Amanda saying something like pay attention to the stem, what is it asking for? Address what the client is saying and pretend you they are sitting across from you. Would you say this or that first? When you get to a first or next question break it down into logical steps. THANK YOU passed on my first attempt with 1 hour and 20 minutes left and scored an 85%!!! I highly recommend TDC!!!

I would like to thank TDC for its pre-licensing programs. I used TDC to prepare for my CA Law and Ethics and LCSW exams. I passed both exams on my first attempts. I credit the vast majority (meaning 95%) of my success to TDC's educational format and lectures. Thank you so much TDC staff for helping me attain these milestones that are and will be integral to my professional growth and longevity.

I felt very confident during the exam. TDC adequately covered the material that was in the exam. There were a few terms in the exam and some specific interventions that I had never heard of, but for the most part all topics were covered in TDC. Thank you so much!

I took my LCSW today and passed on my first attempt. I definitely “took” Amanda with me to the exam and there were a few times I thought. “What would Amanda do/say?” I followed the advice from the pep talk and ate a good breakfast an hour before the exam. I was not able to access my locker so I unfortunately was not able to eat anything during my break but I did find that taking a break in general was very beneficial as it allowed me to refocus. I would highly recommend this program, stop wasting your time on programs that don’t work! I also reached out to a coach and got a response from Heidi in less than 24 hours. She gave me pointers and advice that I was able to follow during the mock exams and the actual exam. I won’t lie, this exam was HARD but thanks to TDC I felt prepared.

The program really helped me to improve my score
