I absolutely loved this program. I studied aggressively for 2 weeks and passed on my 1st time! I highly recommend this program. I would definitely suggest you purchase this program if you have been out of school for awhile and don't know where to start regarding studying!
The mock exams helped me increase my confidence as it was similar to the questions asked in the exam. It helped me think in terms of making rule outs during the test.
It was a good course as it helped to provide a framework to study.
This was a very helpful program, I would suggest it to anyone who has test anxiety, or hasn't done the school/studying thing in a while. Definitely worth the cost!
Excellent information even if you are not testing. It was a great refresher and learned more information that was applicable to current practice.
TDC is the only material I studied and to be honest I was not as thorough as I could have been yet I passed the exam on my first attempt. Without a doubt TDC covers all the areas in the exam. Each component was very helpful from the tips on "How To Prepare", "Key Strategies on Test Day"; the audios, the quick study notes, the quizzes and so on. Thank you TDC for investing time to develop such EXCELLENT material!!
TDC program was pivotal in teaching me social work concepts and how to apply them social work practice. The staff was awesome in addressing any concerns.
I loved the program from start to finish. The mock exams are particularly helpful because they assisted me with reasoning through the answers, which was crucial on the exam. I also enjoyed reviewing and learning new things with the 50 topics and quick study guides. Overall, I felt prepared and ready by the day of my exam.
This program is the program you use to pass. The structured use of audio lectures, simplifying difficult topics, and numerous resources help bring this test into focus. Other study programs do not have the caliber of thought, structure, and clinical fortitude as the TDC has. I felt highly prepared using this program, and passed by 21 points! Thank you TDC!
TDC was absolutely the right study system for me. You helped me understand creating a schedule so I had enough time to review all the topics. I love that there was audio that I could listen to over and over whether I was in the car running errands or making dinner or out for a walk, and that there were also so many great accompanying handouts and study sheets. Plus - all of the quizzes and mock exams were fantastic and incredibly helpful. I think the rationales from the mock exams, the COE lecture and the DSM lectures were the ones that helped me the most. I also utilized the contact a coach service several times in that last week leading up to the test. I was having a really hard time keeping the different schizos straight, and my coach gave me just the right tricks to help me remember and differentiate between them in my head. Last time I took this test I missed passing by 2 points. This time I passed it by 14 points. FOURTEEN!
I took better care of myself this time around, and did some things to help keep my anxiety down:
-I stayed at a hotel 5 min from the testing center. My exam was at 8am, and I wanted to avoid any day-of traffic issues.
-I drove to the testing site the day before to make sure I could find the building and to know for sure what parking was like.
-I dropped into the testing center to ask some questions. I confirmed ahead of time that I could bring in cough drops on a tissue (thank you for that suggestion) and that I could store a juice in my locker for my break. I asked what the actual testing room temperature was like to understand if I should wear a sweater or should just wear a t-shirt (not a distraction I wanted to worry about day of the test). I also located the bathrooms.
-I made sure to eat a good breakfast the day of the test and also had some juice.
That’s it. Thanks, TDC. I’ve recommended your services to so many others getting ready for this test. Thanks so much for providing such terrific, comprehensive study materials.
