Absolutely fantastic program! Easily to follow. Well structured. Felt very prepared going into test day as long as you follow the program accurately. Questions are answered quickly via email for extra support. Can't thank TDC enough for your support! Excited for this next journey to come as an LCSW
Thank you TDC :-)

Great test taking strategies and broke down the information in a way that was not intimidating and easy to make a study plan.

I am absolutely grateful. All the material is not used on the exam however it is nice to have an abundance of information to pull from when a question is asked on the exam. I am overwhelmed with emotions and thankful for the process. This was my fifth time taking the exam and first time using TDC. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I would have used it and saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you! Happy Studying!

I am so grateful for TDC. I had failed the LCSW exam in May and was very afraid to take it again. While waiting for the 90 days between tests I read posts and compared study programs. The one I had used first was not entirely updated to the DSM-5 and not as in depth as TDC. After reading all the posts from people passing the test well above the required passing score, I looked into the program a little more. I loved the fact that the study material was prepared in a way that you learned by reading, writing, and auditory. I felt like I went into the exam a lot more prepared and pass or fail I understood the DSM-5 personality disorders better than before. Thank you again TDC!!

Thank God that I was able to return to him and focus on all areas f my life. I am back in church, eating right, exercising everyday with Yoga and walking. the TDC study plan was great.

Therapist Development Center prepares you by compiling a wealth of information into an organized, easy accessible study system. It allows you to focus and apply your knowledge through different learning styles. I utlized this program for both my LMSW and LCSW licensure exams and passed first try on each without using any other study system or practice tests. I felt confident throughout my exam and would highly recommend this program! They stay with you from start to finish and beyond! Thank you TDC!

I previously used TDC to take (and pass) the CA Law & Ethics exam, so there was no question that I would use TDC when I began studying for the Clinical exam. I decided to follow the program on the recommended 5 week timeline, and I really liked the structure of the audios followed by quizzes and practice exams. By the time I took the final full mock exams, I scored 88% and 85% and felt well prepared to sit for the actual exam. I reviewed the Quick Study Guides on the morning of the exam so that I would have the knowledge fresh in my mind, but the most important thing I reviewed were Amanda's study tips - to reason through the questions by eliminating obvious "no's," put things in logical order, work through challenging questions by using clues in the stem and knowledge of other topics, and pretend that I was in the room with the client in the scenario. I worked through the exam quickly and reviewed my marked questions, only changing answers if I had an "aha" moment on Amanda's recommendation. My testing center did not allow me to leave any snacks or juice on top of my locker, but I was allowed to bring in two unwrapped cough drops and that helped with making me feel rejuvenated. I finished in about 2 1/2 hours and was compelled to review the whole exam, but I decided to trust my first answers and just submit! My exam required 103 correct answers to pass and I answered 126 correctly. Thanks to TDC I felt prepared and confident walking into the exam, and am so proud to be an LCSW now!

I used several study resources, however TDC was my primary resource. I completed the course, redid practice exams, reviewed rationals, and listened to all of the audio recordings several times. I gained a lot of information from the course which I was able to apply during my test day. I leaned in like Amanda said and kept a positive mindset throughout the test, although I thought I wasn't doing well at times. This exam is not a memorization test by any means. You have to grasp the concepts and understand how you can/ will apply them in various situations. This exam was challenging, however you can do it! TDC is a great program and I know that it was influential toward my success. Thank you so much!!

I had previously taken the test using other study materials and failed the test by 2-4 points. After using the TDC study materials I passed the LCSW test on my 5th try. I scored a 109 and only needed 99 points to pass. This course has helped me to be successful and I am happy to be done with the testing process.

Thank you,

I have bad test anxiety and was terrified of tihs exam. I heard so many horror stories of people not passing and taking it multiple times. I'm currently in school for my Ph.D. in Social Work and there is no way I could go to school, work, be a mom and study for this exam. I knew I had to take and pass the exam during my summer break. TDC thoroughly prepared me, even those times during the exam I questioned how well I was doing I remember Amanda, Bethany and Heidi in my head as well as everything I learned from the program. I 'm so very excited and happy to say that I PASSED the test on my first time!!!!! Thank you so very much TDC. I would recommend this program to anyone!
