Before my toddler, I was really good at compiling, parsing and studying for tests (I passed my LMSW on the first try with no program!). However, after being in the field for several years and now with a busy family life to boot, I knew I needed A LOT of support and a reliable source to prepare for the clinical exam - mostly because the exam relies so heavily on reasoning and HOW to take the test rather than recall. This was an incredible study system in every way: professional, friendly and incredibly helpful coaches; thorough and well organized material and easy to use wether doing it all online or printing out the material and carrying it around! Above all - they really understand how the test wants you to think: the practice questions/exams are a very accurate representation of what I encountered on the clinical exam. Thank you TDC!

This program truly helped with strategies! I felt that quite a bit of content on the exam was not part of the study material, but having TDC strategies helped me tremendously to pass! I needed 102 correct questions and I got 121 correct. Thank you TDC!!!

The TDC program really helped to get me organized and feel confident going into the exam. There were far more reasoning questions for the LCSW than the LMSW I took 2 years ago, and the mock exam accurately helped me to prepare for that. This is the second time I've used the program. First for my LMSW in which I passed the first time with a score of 127 out of 96 needed. This time for my LCSW I passed the first time with 129 out of 102 needed. I would definitely recommend this program to others!

I failed the ASWB clinical exam twice before purchasing the TDC program. I’ve now recommended this program to anyone who will listen to me! My score for my third was above and beyond what I needed to pass and they helped give me strategies to tackle this test that I didn’t find anywhere else. I’m very grateful I took the time and spent the money. The program can be used one consuming, but it is well worth it.

Thank you TDC for an amazing program. As a full time employee, mommy and wife your program structure worked perfectly for me. I felt prepared and confident going into the exam. Best of all, I conquer the ASWB exam.

I passed! This was my 2nd time taking the LCSW exam. The first time I used TDC and missed it by 5 points. I retook the TDC program but focused a little more on slowing down reading the questions carefully and considering the steps I would take if I were doing whatever session the scenario described and it worked. Don’t get discouraged. I went a year before I retook the exam and seeing that pass was so emotional for me. I definitely would not have been able to pass without the TDC program and listening to those audios while in traffic.

I was previously licensed in another state and was grandfathered in for the LISW license and did not need to take the exam. I was only required to do the supervised hours. I chose to be a stay at home mom for a few years and placed my license on inactive status. After moving to another state I attempted to reactivate and reciprocate my license to learn that I would need to take the exam. I successfully put off taking the exam for 15 years due to testing anxiety and being able to find employment without my license. TDC gave me the confidence to take the exam and I passed on my first try! On my test day I told myself to attack the test and followed the break and snack suggestion at the 85 question mark. I felt really confident going into the exam and reminded myself to "attack the test". I also employed the circle of confidence strategy that I learned through my hypnosis training/certification. This technique helped when my nerves kicked in during the test and I started second guessing my answers. I also used the "aha" tip and actually after checking a few marked questions chose to trust my gut and didn't look at any other marked questions and submitted my answers. I would highly recommend this program!! Thanks so much!

Although I received my supervision right after obtaining my LMSW over 25 years ago - life circumstances had forced me to put off the LCSW - but it has always been my long term goal to become an LCSW. Given that I had not taken any type of test in over 25 years - I was very anxious about the entire process. I signed up back in Dec to test on 2/5. I did some light studying in Dec– but had always planned on “diving in” in Jan. Well, I got a lingering “flu-like” virus in Jan (1st 3 weeks) and almost postponed the test - but am so glad I didn't. I’m married, have 2 teenage daughters, run my own company, had a national speaking engagement in Jan and a trip to NY pre-planned for Jan. Signed up with TDC on 1/11 and made a firm goal in my head that I would commit to study and follow their system. The beauty of the TDC system is you fit studying into your life – with pre-planning (and commitment to execute) – you can really fit it around existing commitments. For example – I planned out exactly what audio I would listen to on my flights to NY, down time at the airport and this type of thing. The “chunking” of study topics makes it so “do-able”! Also, Amanda makes it almost enjoyable to study - I felt like not only was I studying - but I was becoming a better social worker for my training company as well! The TDC advice from start to finish of the entire process was "spot-on". I truly took Amanda/Heidi and TDC into the test with me - they helped me stay calm (when questions were difficult), keep my focus, not panic and to remember that I had it within me to do this. I truly attacked this test thanks to TDC. My lifelong dream of becoming an LCSW has come true. Thank you so much to TDC - I highly, highly recommend their system!

I have been putting off studying for my LCSW for several years as I didn't know where to start with studying. An acquaintance told me about TDC and highly recommended it to use to help me with breaking down the steps to successfully pass my exam. I paid for the program several months ago, but as a result of work and job changes I just couldn’t seem to be able to make studying a priority. Finally January 22, 1019, I registered for my test, which was this morning, 2/13/19. Over the past few weeks I followed the program to a “T”, listened to the audio recordings a few times, and focused on the quizes. I felt confident going into the exam and am so relieved it it over. Follow the program, you too can pass! Good Luck!
