TDC was a great way to help me feel prepared for the LCSW exam. The lectures were easy to follow and provided real-life scenarios to help reinforce the learning process. The variety of testing materials (audio lectures, written exams, computer exams) is beneficial for people who have several learning styles.
I will continue to highly recommend this program for future test takers. I purchased other materials, but now looking back at it, I would have been fine with just this program. Thank you for all of the support and quick responses to my questions submitted!
This program was so helpful, kept me on track with what i needed to study and helped me feel confident in my abilities. While taking the exam i could hear the lecturers giving tips and stating their reasoning for answers. Highly recommend!
Since using TDC program and comparing it to other study programs, TDC in my opinion is TOP OF THE LINE, PHENOMENAL. My confidence going in the second time to sit for the exam had me feeling that I would be successful. My anxiety left as soon as I answered the first 20 questions. Thank you TDC for providing graduate students with the best and most focused content to pass the exam while also reinforcing actual Social Work practice.
I have a 4 year old, a husband who is also a social worker, and a full tim job as a clinical Manager for an integrated behavioral health agency. I am also 8 months pregnant. Stress all sorts of ways plus test anxiety. Tdc allowed me to squeeze in and make the most of my study time. I began studying in mid December and took my test on 2/26. I needed 103 to pass and I got 122. I was shocked, my goal was just to get enough points to pass. I ended up learning things I can apply to my practice beyond the exam. I only took 2 days off of work the day before and the day of. Now I can go back to being a mom with my lcsw. Thank you!!!!!
I felt all the practice tests helped to get better understanding how to dissect the question. The strategy of visualizing a client coming to you for the problem absolutely helped. Then when it was confusing I used Amanda’s strategies. Yeah you could do that. But what’s the best one or first one for what they are asking. Thanks so much for your plan and tools. Loved it. Made me reflect on social work values .
Thank you TDC for helping me pass the LCSW exam on my first try! I felt this program was extremely helpful, organized, clear and concise. I also really appreciated the prompt responses from Heidi whenever I had a question.
I failed my clinical ASWB test (LICSW) by 8 points in November. I ordered the TDC program and re-tested on Februaury 21st, which I passed (needed 102, I got 106). I have a lot of test anxiety, and have struggled to manage my stress and anxiety around this exam. TDC was helpful for me, and increased my confidence. I am able to take in and retain more information in the audio form........and the practice tests and quizzes really helped me to recall what I needed to know. I liked the tips, quick study sheets, and the streamline of relevant information rather than an overabundance of information that would overwhelm me. I was disappointed that as a veteran, I was not aware in advance that the program was free for veterans and therefore paid the fee and was not able to get a full refund.
I went into the exam feeling confident and sure of myself... not a feeling I have ever experienced before when taking an exam. Thank you!
I used TDC for my Law and Ethics Exam and for the LCSW Clinical Exam. I passed each exam on the first try. This was remarkable because I prepared myself for the possibility of having to take the exams again if I did not pass. However, I kept telling myself and telling others that I planned on passing. That was another thing, I did not keep my exam date a secret. I told everyone the dates I would be taking the exam. This helped me deal with anxiety over and over and slowly the pain in my stomach reduced. TDC prepared me in ALL areas. My highest recommendation is to work on test anxiety and anxiety in general when preparing for this exam. The practice exams helped me to always work on my thoughts and my ability to remain present even when things felt extremely difficult. I also highly recommend a study partner because accountability with another person working toward the same goal is key. My study partner lived in the same state but too far away to meet in person and we meet weekly on the phone for 8 weeks. Thank you TDC. This was exactly the study material I needed. I did view briefly another study program and it was overwhelming. The only other material I used was occasionally google to understand a concept further and I took the ASWB practice exam. Thank you again. I highly recommend your program.
