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.

Thank you TDC for taking the time, providing the support and encouragement to get me "over" the hump. I walked into the testing center with extreme confidence with an attitude that i was going to conquer the test. I definetly would recommend this study system to ALL aspiring FUTURE LCSW'S. WELL WORTH IT!

I am grateful for this program as I went into the test feeling confident.

I don’t think I would have passed the exam without this prep course! I am far removed from academic studies and I’ve been working in the same field for many years (oncology SW). Reviews of the major topics and the test taking strategies you provided helped me tremendously and I have already recommended this course to others… well worth the time and the cost!! THANK YOU!!!

I enjoyed using TDC to help pass my exam. I didn’t pass the first time but after going through the program a second time and doing a deeper dive, I was able to pass. The mock exams gave a clear depiction of how i’d do on the real exam. I passed the second time by 15 points. Thank you TDC!!

I went through the TDC system in 3 months and passed my first time. Highly recommend this system.

I am so thankful for TDC! I previously failed the LICSW exam and when taking it feel like the materials I was using to study did not adequately prepare me for he test. TDC allowed me to not only learn the material, but feel confident as well. I did not use any other materials other than TDC to study for the second time around and passed by 11 points. I would highly recommend!

Loved the course. The verbal explanations and written materials combined nicely together. the Mock Exams were the MOST HELPFUL! I was not surprised at all in the exam. The only reason I needed other materials to help study was I was overwhelmed with information, and other study materials broke things down and gave acronyms or tricks to remind me instead of straight memorization. In addition, the only thing I would change with this study course is to make personal goals (mock exam goals for example) because I passed well even though my Mock Exam scores were lower. I felt defeated and lost a lot of confidence because the text in this study course clearly stated I did not score in the test readiness stage. Allowing me to make my own score goals (maybe guide a 75) would've helped me feel that I improved instead of always feeling inadequate. Overall, I could not have passed this exam without this course !! Highly recommended!!! Worth every penny!

I love that TDC provides a comprehensive program for many different learning types. I like to call it a one-stop shop. There are audios, handouts, and practice quizzes and tests available. I truly appreciate the practice quizzes, tests and rationales. These resources really got me in the grove of preparing for the actual clinical exam. TDC is an amazing company! I passed the clinical exam (LCSW) on my third try. I used TDC to study the second and third time around. I kept failing the exam by 2 points so I knew I only needed minor tweaks to my studying routine. After failing the clinical exam the second time, I contacted TDC coaches and they explained how I needed to improve my studying. Also, I hired a private tutor (LCSW) whom I met with for a total of 6 sessions for one hour per week. I switched gears and focused on how to break down the vignettes and identify what the question was asking and spent less time learning content. This was the game changer for me. I knew the content so there was no need to focus too much on it. The first two times I took the exam, I focused more on the content than breaking down the vignettes. TDC and my tutor helped me to pass the clinical exam. I am very appreciative of both supports!
