I took my LMSW a few years ago and used other study material, I failed twice before passing and had terrible test anxiety every time. I knew for my LCSW I needed to find a better way to study that would help me feel more prepared and confident. A few friends recommended TDC and I'm so glad I used this program. My studying was more structured and effective, and I felt confident going into the exam. I can't give enough thanks to the TDC team.

Thank you so much for preparing me over the past several months! I appreciate all the breakdowns rationales, and extra tests!!!!

I scored 131! Thank you!!!

I felt confident going in! Your program over-prepared me for what was actually presented in the exam. I 100% recommend it!

Before the therapist development center, I was trying to studying on my own with varying programs and just random things I found online. A friend recommended TDC and I am so glad she did. TDC helped me formulate a plan of preparation, gave great study material, and was very clear and concise plan of attack. I am so glad I found this program.

This program completely prepared me to take the LCSW exam. Taking the mock exams allowed me to build confidence in my ability to apply the material I studied. I passed my exam with an 83% on the first try. I highly recommend this program, it really works!!

The course was amazing. Structured well. Have all the rationales so you actually learned from the material instead of trying to memorize. Great tips on taking the exam. I felt confident going into the exam and even during the exam I did not feel the need to second guess my answers.

Following the study program as instructed is how I passed the clinical exam on the first try. I used all of the study material by making several copies of the quizzes which helped me hone in on my weak areas. It took me 3 attempts to pass the law and ethics exam utilizing Grossman's study guidebook. I passed L&E on my third attempt after having invested in TDC's L&E study program. I was way more confident and prepared so it was a no brainer to use TDC LCSW clinical exam prep. I had watched about three Phil Lutrell you tube videos which helped me with the use of mnemonics and safe acronyms i.e. Old Age Parrots Love Grapes for Freud's stages of psychosexual development. You tube helped me recall psychotropic drugs i.e., v,x,k, -pam for most anxiolytics or p,x, -pram for antidepressants. I felt I needed to apply more study outside of the program for recalling which evidence-based treatment models, theories and approaches align with most problems and disorders. I didn't want to go too far off the TDC beaten path with an overload of information outside of the study program though. I found myself reviewing theories in my old textbooks from college. Mostly the Person in Environment text which contains most theories that actually makes more sense now than it did then. So glad I saved my text books. Further, the mock exam rationales really helped and listening to the lectures 2-3 times locked the information in. I found myself in the exam literally imaging myself in the situation and choosing the more over encompassing answer thanks to Amanda's lecture. I just know that I could not have done it without TDC! So I thank you all kindly. Much love.

TDC helped me so much in preparing for this exam. I have a significant level of test anxiety and the LCSW precourse helped me to build the confidence I needed to pass with flying colors! It helped me organize my studying while also maintaining my own mental health. I went into the exam feeling confident and with an "attack the test" type of thought process.

I reviewed the TDC curriculum 2x following the 8 week program. I passed on my first try with 132 correct answers. Although I am a visually learning, I did start to hear Amanda’s voice in my head and it helped!
