I am so thankful for this study material. The design is perfect for the way that I learn and take in information. I highly recommend TDC.
Passed on my first try! Beyond the exam, taking this prep course made me a better clinician.
TDC is amazing. So thorough content wise, while also giving you a super helpful way to frame the test as a whole. And you get SO much content - multiple quizzes, half mocks, full mocks, and quick studies you can go back to again and again - which I did! The explanations for answers on the mock exams were especially helpful. I will recommend TDC to anyone who asks, and I am so thankful I had the whole TDC team with me in my brain on test day.
This program definitely helped me pass. This program works! It is like I was back in grad school and I had to force myself to put studying into my calendar and stick to it. This program really prepares you and lets you know what to expect. I was more confident this time taking the exam and I’m so happy I went this route of studying.
Overall, the course worked out really well for me. If you take your time with it, and practice with the quizzes, half mock exams, and full mock's, you will learn to think the questions through. That is what I believe helped me the most, learning how to apply an order of operations to the questions. That and the DSM-5 reviews,, they were also very helpful.
Thank you so very much Amanda Rowen for your wonderful thorough and 5 star program. And, thank you coach Emily for extending your assistance although this time because of the detailed changes of the material in the program I really did not have any questions. I have passed my exam and I owe it to the revised version that I received this year 2021. I felt that this improved version with the thorough quick studies and rationales and extensive practice tests and mock exams which were so essential really helped me to better understand the material, thus, giving me more confidence to pass my exam. Also, because sometimes life happens and the result of the exam is not what we expected it is a tremendous uplift in my opinion for having the possibilities of receiving extensions when it is necessary. This really speaks volumes of your trust in the value and confidence of your program. I would definitely recommend The Therapist Development Center Study Program to anyone who wants to pass their exams. Thank you again and bless you all.
This is truly an amazing program. I had multiple big life events occurring prior to my exam and this program simplified my study needs, was extremely organized and clear to follow, and made me feel confident going to take my exam. This was the only study material I used and I passed with room to spare my first time taking the exam. I wouldn’t even think twice about using this program and will recommend it 1000 times over.
TDC greatly prepared me for the LICSW! All study material was relevant to the actual test. The quick study, quizzes, lectures and practice test were all great tools!!! I am so grateful for TDC!!
I contribute my passing and learning of clinical content and test skills 100% to TDC. I passed on my first attempt which was huge for me as the process of getting here took over 5 years. I felt comfortable and confident going in and during the test! The coaching was extremely helpful as well. After taking the first full mock I received a 65% which of course was lower than I wanted. I reached out for guidance as I aced the three other quick studies. The guidance I received on writing down the role of the social worker and the specific problem was a game changer! By doing that for every question I jumped from a 65 to 77% on the first full mock and higher on the second. I can't thank TDC enough. Now, to celebrate!!
I found this program to be exceptional, where it had far surpassed my expectations. Not only was I confident during the exam where I did not stress about having to take the entire 4 hours to complete the LCSW clinical, but I had found myself facing quite the dilemma when I had only had the chance to register for this course approximately 12 days prior to the exam which I had scheduled approximately 2 or 3 days prior to registering for this course. I had the chance to complete everything except the mock exams so I did not even get to complete those; so I was definitely nervous going in to the testing center on exam day. There was not much I could do about it as due to my work schedule being full time and scheduling my exam on short notice, I was only able to take off 3 full days prior to the exam in order to dedicate that time tlo studying. So I pretty much completed the entire program with the exception of the mock exams within a 4 to 5 day time period. I highly recommend this course and for anyone who is questioning whether or not it is worth their time( if you were like me and you scheduled your exam super last minute and with a very limited time to study, I 100% recommend this course and advise you not to be intimidated by the course outline and the 5 weeks that it is supposed to take to complete this course as the material is presented in such a way that you are repetitively presented the same information from various different perspectives in a repetitive manner where it makes it super easy to recall. This program is worth every dollar spent and if I could go back I would not have have done anything differently. A ginormous THANKS to the therapist development center. Not only did I achieve a passing score ON MY FORST ATTEMPT, but my correct ANSWERS far exceeded the requirement for passing. Thank you so so much tothe amazing individuals who took their time to not only present the information in a way where it where it was easy to follow for even the most stressed and overwhelmed of us last minute scheduled test takers. This program was truly a godsend and I have recommended it to several colleagues since passing my exam on November 4th.
