I’m an audio learner so I found the audios very helpful. Thank you TDC for your help is passing the LCSW exam!
It is such a joy to finally pass The LCSW. I have been a Medical Social Worker for 22 years. Failed the test 2 times in the early 2000's . Did not feel I needed license since I was a Medical Social Worker and had no plans to go into private practice. However, the practice of Medical Social Work has changed . I needed to change with it. I am not ready to retire.
In 2015 I made a commitment to become licensed. I reapplied for ACSW status. Passed the Law and Ethics after the second try in 2017. Went through 2 supervisor's to get a fit that worked for me. In 2017 purchased TDC LCSW test prep course. I have gone to bed listening to Amanda Rowen or Bethnay Vanderbelt most every night since 2017. I have carried a book bag full of study materials with me to Las Vegas, Beaumont Texas , 2 of my favorite San Francisco Public Libraries and Star Bucks on Divisadreo St for the past year and some months.
I went from November-January with no study . But by my birthday in January I was back on the grind. Study Study Study. I learned soooooo much. I wanted to pass so badly. I believed Amanda when she said lean in, take me with you and don't play around with a difficult questions . I picked one and I moved on.
I passed the LCSW 10/2/2018( one of my granddaughter's birthday) . I took the test at 8AM. I was finished at 10:40 AM. I was so shell shocked I sat in the lobby of the testing center for 45 minutes when it was over. Had to text and call people cause I couldn't drive right away. I am 64 and 3/4's years old. I am a Medical Social Worker in an Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I have 4 grown children and 4 grand children and I DID IT-finally .
Amanda I miss your voice every night . I trust one day I'll meet you in person. In the mean time know TDC WORKS IF YOU WORK IT.
Thank you -Gloria Young -Thomas LCSW ( this in the first time I am adding LCSW behind my name)
I found the TDC program to be very comprehensive and thorough. I feel more competent overall in my profession as a social worker. I was confident going into the exam and felt prepared with all the information TDC offered. The mock exams were very similar to the exam and definitely helped me prepare for what to expect as well as strengthening my reasoning skills. I will definitely be recommending TDC to my colleagues!
I highly recommend the TDC program. The TDC program helps to break down the subjects to help you study, review, and test. I cannot study just by reading books or material and the TDC is designed for different learners by allowing you read, listen (take notes while listening), review materials, and many tests to help you understand how you will be tested with rationals on questions you get wrong. I am so glad I went with TDC for a study material and will be recommending to all my coworkers/peers that will be taking the LCSW test. THANK YOU!!!
At first I was hesitant but I stuck with it and was able to pass on the second round.
I found the study system invaluable. Not only are the materials comprehensive, but it really helps you organize your time well. Having the full mock exams really helps you understand the staying power you need on exam day. It's also a great review of everything I learned in social work school which informs and reinforces the work I do on a daily basis. Thank you!!
I would like to let you know that your mocks exams were better and harder than the practice board exam. To my surprise the clinical exam was much harder than their practice exam. That should be the other way around. I felt more prepared with your mocks than their practice exam.I used only TDC to prepare for this exam.
TDC came highly recommended by friends and colleagues who passed. I liked that they condensed the review to necessary pieces and coaches were available for follow up to answer questions. I looked at information from another review course that a colleague passed along as a supplement and it was too much to process; it would get into the weeds of the topics. I chose to stick with TDC because the test taking strategies are invaluable. I learned to understand this test and apply the knowledge strategically. The study plan was also helpful to keep some balance in my life while studying- I chose to review this course twice. I passed my LCSW exam the first time going in and I was also confident before going in that I was well prepared. Taking lots of quizzes and 2 full mocks helped me go in knowing I could push right through and even which score range to expect. Thank you to the TDC team for this helpful review and support.
I almost gave up on obtaining my LCSW. I was overwhelmed with who, what, when, where, how and didn't even know where to begin. A friend told me about this program and I figured what do I have to lose? I've already invested hundreds of dollars on worthless study material and 3 failed tests. This was by far the best and easiest study system. Listening to the material and utilizing all the practice tests prepared me and helped manage my anxiety. I was beyond prepared and passed my LCSW exam with ease. Thank you for creating this program, I couldnt have done it without your help. Grateful in Colorado.
This is an amazing system! I studied for 2 weeks and passed the LCSW on my First try! Thank you TDC
