The structure of the program and the study plan were what I felt helped me the most. I enjoy the audio portion of the study prep more than the written information. I almost wish that all the mini-mocks had audio rationale along with the written rationale. I'm an auditory learning though. Thank you TDC, this has been a 10 year process for me since I graduated with my MSW.
Thank you TDC for a great course that buoyed my confidence as a social worker and also prepared me to pass the exam. I took Amanda's words with me into the exam and "leaned into" the test in spite of huge self-doubt and not a minute of sleep the night before. I followed the exam tips completely; with the two recommended breaks, reminding myself to be present and even bringing cough drops. Thanks and carry on your great work for all the future test takers.
I was really nervous taking the exam the second time and talking to Heidi the day before was extremely helpful with the tips and strategies we discussed! Super glad I was able to call her and get reassurance.
The program works. I passed on the first attempt. The final pep talk before the exam helped me to get over the test anxiety. Once I clicked start on exam day, I leaned in (as recommended) and finished the exam with almost an hour of time to spare. During the test, I felt well prepared and did not encounter any subject that was not covered by TDC or that I could not reason my way through. Thanks TDC Team for a great experience!
5 STARS FOR THIS PROGRAM!!! I would like to say that I could not have passed the LCSW Clinical Exam without TDC. I felt as fully prepared as I could ever be, despite my nerves and anxiety about the exam (my score was 126/150). TDC provided a concise study process and program, touching on all the pertinent areas. I truly feel every section of the material was carefully developed and designed to support me in this process. A few key things that were helpful for me was reviewing the material twice, transcribing/typing the information while listening to the audios and reviewing the rationals of each test so I would understand why I missed a question. During the test, I took Amanda's wise words with me, visualizing myself in the moment, and asking myself what I would do next if I the client was actually sitting in my office. I would recommend this program to anyone and am eternally grateful for the support I received!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I passed on the first time taking the exam. I highly recommend this studying course. From beginning to end I felt it was easy to follow and realistic. I believe the only thing that was hard for me was me actually committing and getting back to the study rhythm (we tend to loose it after our graduate program). However, once I began little by little to study I felt it was good. One tip I do recommend is to take Amanda (in your head) the day of the exam. I had some questions about some of the exam questions/answers and I kept telling my self in my own head “WWAD? = What Would Amanda Do?” Sounds funny but it really helped (specially because I tend to freak out in test taking mode). Overall, I am happy with the results and the course material really prepared me well for this exam.
I took the test back in Oct 2018 with no experience in the clinical field and without completing the program fully and did not pass. I committed to completing the program the second go round and passed my exam. I appreciate Heidi for being so available to answer my questions and encouraging when I may have doubted myself. I am still in shock but I will say without the program I would not have been as prepared to answer the questions.
This majorly helped with my test anxiety so I was able to pass my test with flying colors
I want to thank the TDC family for helping me pass my LCSW exam. I was nervous but with all the study guides and exams I went into the test ready to answer any questions. I thank you for all that you do!!!
My name is Addison Jackson Jr. and I passed my LCSW because of the awesome exam prep program from Therapist Development Center. When I began my study regimen, I started with an app that simply asked questions and gave rationale for the answers. From the moment I started with TDC I knew that I was on my way to success. The first test I did not do as well as I thought I should. From there on, I gained knowledge and confidence!! Not only are you given explanations for answers, you are taught HOW TO TEST!! The best part about taking the test and passing is because I felt confident in my answers. Even though I was nervous at the start of the exam, I quickly got into my zone and knocked the test out!! Thank you so much TDC for offering this to veterans for free! I want to give veterans and those who would have to pay the confidence that this system WORKS!! All you have to do is the program in its entirety.
