I passed on the first try. TDC was such a big help with preparing for and passing the exam. Being a veteran, I really appreciate TDC's support. It really means a lot. Thank you!! Along with staying committed and true to the TDC method, success was also due to going to the exam dressed in layers; wearing computer glasses (you are staring at a computer for 4 hours straight), ate healthy prior, drank a lot of water in days prior, taking some healthy vitamins and supplements in the couple weeks prior, getting the rest I needed in days prior, and doing a lot of positive self-talk and encouragement. I started preparing about 3 months prior (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and a whole bunch of other celebrations were in there). Throughout the exam on the note paper they provided, I would occasionally write positive uplifting phrases to myself, which I noticed helped. More than any of the above and what contributed the most to my success was prayer. Without a doubt. Prayer and responding to the inspirations and inclinations to prayer was the biggest help. Specifically, praying to Joseph of Cupertino, patron of test taking was key! .
Great supportive coaches and excellent program. I particularly enjoyed the audios as I listened to them the most. I would suggest more audios even to replace the quick studies. I learned alot listening to the audios over and over.
I failed the LSW twice before I passed on my third attempt. Of course I was nervous when I decided I wanted my LCSW. Thanks to your amazing, helpful program I am proud to say I passed my LCSW on my first attempt. I felt prepared and confident. I couldn’t be more appreciative of this wonderful study system.
I don't know how I would have even begun to study if it weren't for the clear and structured outline of this course! They made everything so clear and I didn't have to guess at what I should be studying or how I should approach the questions. When I sat for the actual exam, I was terrified but I also knew I was prepared in the best way possible. I walked in knowing there was nothing I could have done to be MORE prepared. And I walked out with a passing score on my first attempt! I didn't use any other study materials and I didn't take the ASWB practice exam. I can't recommend this program highly enough - follow their steps and trust the process!
This program helped my mind think of how the test questions should be answered. I heard Amanda’s voice while reading the questions and answers. I needed a 103 and got 111.
I previously took the test studying with other materials found online and even attended the ASWB test prep - I was not successful. I studied with the TDC and felt confident for the first time. When I walked into the testing center feeling that I knew the material and I was going to pass..... and I did.
Hi, I have over 25 years in the field of social work covering a vast array of positions. I have primarily been in Administrative and Program Development roles across many settings. I took the test a few time over an 8 year period and did not pass by a point or two. In 2012, I went through the process of having my supervision reapproved so that I would not have to repeat it. This course was essential to teaching me the strategies to not only pass the exam, but also a great review and learning experience to solidify my clinical knowledge and truly understand the DSM-V. I have found the style of learning has helped me to retain the information post exam. Thank you!
Words cannot express the feeling of passing this exam. I started this journey months ago (with TDC by my side), and each time I failed, I took a small break, then went right back to studying. I wasn't going to let it win. Don't give up! Thank you Amanda and staff! LCSW LCSW!!!
I felt I was really studying with Amanda. I did everything that was recommended in the program including going through the study materials twice. The mock exams were the best preparation tool for the test.
thank you Amanda!
I came upon TDC 3 weeks before my exam, after I had failed the exam by 4 points. It was easy to learn the material and it’s all laid out for you. I felt well prepared and ready to test again, something I hadn’t felt previously.
I passed! I would not have been able to without TDC, of that I’m sure.
