The structure of the material allowed me to create a study schedule. Loved the audio tapes, and quizzes.
TDC has been a great help in my success in passing the LCSW exam. Being a military spouse we are constantly on the go as the years pass and we who are in this profession need something that is steady and something that is with us until we succeed in our mission. It didn’t matter that I was on the other side of the world, TDC has been there, those on the FB page has been there and definitely helped me through guidance and familiar people with familiar interests.
TDC was an excellent resource in preparing for the LCSW exam. I am thrilled to say I passed on my first attempt! With TDC I especially liked the DSM V lectures as well as the lecture on the Code of Ethics which were helpful for the exam but also helpful for practice in general. I listened to the lectures numerous times. If you are preparing for the exam and memorizing a ton of material you are wasting your time. The exam is predominantly critical thinking. The best thing about TDC is that it helps you think about questions and does not have you waste time on materials that are not tested. I started studying for this exam using another program and memorizing tons of information. It just isn't necessary and really not helpful. Glad I discovered TDC and took the plunge!
I had the pleasure of working with Heidi for private tutoring to support the study program. She was a gem -- warm, caring, highly informed, and a great educator. With her support, I was better able to manage my anxiety, and obtain a sufficient grasp of the material and test strategies to pass with a comfortable margin.
Amazing program! Thoughtfully organized, thorough (but ot overkill). Having the "ask a coach" feature, and the support that provided was extremely useful. The mock exams, rationales, audio, and quick studies all contributed to my success. The audios were extra helpful when in the car, or while doing housework.
To say I was nervous to retake the test after not passing it about 15 years would be an understatement. Like many others, taking tests are not my strength. I took one local prep course that included the Dawn Apgar book and accompanying app. Although these are great resources and provide the appropriate material, I left the class feeling, "what do I do now??" In the absence of any structure from the course, I went back into panic mode. My colleague had recommended TDC and suggested I do this instead. I could not have been happier with my decision. The content, audio, rationales for answers, actual test prep, and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) the structure to get to the test was well beyond my expectations. Although still nervous walking into the testing center, I had felt far more prepared and ready than ever. I needed 99 correct and answered 112 correctly. Thank you TDC for getting me here!
I passed the exam after completing this program. I am very grateful I came across your program!
TDC throughly prepared me to take my exam on the first try. Having a structured program with coaches who are there for you when you have questions really put my mind at ease. Heidi was there to answer my questions when I was struggling with a specific topic. I would highly recommend the program to anyone needing a program that will help you pass on the first try.
TDC was a godsend for me! I really struggled with setting up my own study plan using an exam prep book. The prep book had a lot of good information, but reading through a textbook was not a good option for me! TDC really gave me the structured study program I needed to be successful on this exam. I am a firm believer in finding what works for you and things not always being one size fits all. This program was definitely what worked for me! I still struggled with pretty intense anxiety leading up to the exam and on test day, but that's pretty common for me. Despite that, I was able to pass with flying colors! 136/150! My biggest struggle was the timing of the exam--I consistently struggled with my timing on every full length exam I took, both through TDC and elsewhere, and on the official exam. Finally accepting that timing was not going to be a strength for me really helped to alleviate some of the extra anxiety there. I finished the official exam with 27 seconds left to spare, and still managed to pass with a high score! I cannot thank TDC enough for helping me along my road to licensure!
I am so glad I finally used the TDC study program. After a few years of hesitating to sign up and take the LCSW exam, I passed on the first attempt last week!! I know I could not have done it without the help of your study system. I cannot thank you enough for helping me reach one of my personal and career goals!!!
