No.

Five Stars -thank you!

TDC took the overwhelming amount of information that needed to be studied for the ASWB clinical exam and put it in easy, manageable chunks of information that made the study process NOT overwhelming! I studied for a few months, got a couple of extensions and passed on my first attempt. Thank you so much!

I had significant doubts about passing since I have a young baby at home and work full time. Always being exhausted and never having enough hours in the day I turned to this program for guidance. Being able to listen to the lectures helped me catalog the information in my mind. I’ve already recommended it to several friends. Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Program was very thorough and I felt confident taking the test!

I really love this study program! I wish I invested more time in in it! I know I will pass the 2nd time for sure.

Wonderful experience with the TDC study system. The study guide I initially started with was 3 volumes of very dry and dense material that was difficult to get through. I switched to the TDC program early on because it had multiple avenues of absorbing the material (ie: audio lectures, readings, quizzes, etc). My experience was much better and I retained much more info after that. After passing the LCSW exam on my first try, I realize now that the other study guide included a LOT of unnecessary information. The TDC system in contrast is very clear and concise. It teaches you how to take the exam, the rationale behind getting to the right answers, and covers the material most likely to appear on the exam. For those like myself with a day job, we don't have time to memorize the entire DSM, and the TDC system helps to focus your studying to the key components needed be successful. I will definitely be recommending it to my colleagues.

I answered 113 correct and needed to answer 103 to pass :) Thank you for your assistance; I have been telling all of my co-workers who ask for tips that I would not have passed without your program. Thanks again.

I really enjoyed being able to slow down or speed up the audio lectures because I could review while I was driving home from work or take notes as needed. The practice exam help me feel accustomed to managing my emotions of self-doubt when I didn't feel sure I answered correctly; I was able to keep moving forward and just make the best decision possible. Additionally, I took the last full mock exam with a N95 mask to be ready for the real test where I had to wear the mask for 4 hours!

I want to thank you for your flexibility in accommodating my repeated rescheduling due to health concerns. Interestingly, very little of what I studied was on the exam—personality and mood disorders, medication, child development, defense mechanisms—etc. The vast majority of my questions were first, best, and most. When I became seriously stumped, I would hear Amanda’s voice reading the stem and options. That was very helpful! I listened to all of the lectures multiple, multiple times.

My Journey started about 18 months ago, I first sat for the exam at the peak of Covid shutdowns, my environmental stress was at a high as most others in the world. I did minimal studying and felt confident from the experience I had obtained over the past two years working at an adult mental health clinic. I failed my first attempt, I knew I wasn’t prepared but determined I knew I needed to study and study in a way that I learned best, that’s when I found TDC. TDC offer a guide to follow along with audio to listen to along the way in studying as they arose. I really felt that I knew Amanda and Heidi personally. I utilized the email coaching to communicate my struggles throughout the whole process. Heidi was very prompt and supportive every step of the way. I took may exam in Aug 2020. The day before I had woken up with vertigo symptoms, I was scared and overwhelmed, my body was screaming crisis mode. I still was not going to reschedule I was determined that I was ready. I failed by 1 point. I was devastated. I reviewed reflected at what went wrong. I knew one thing is that I was struggling to self-regulate throughout the exam, my anxiety was through the roof. I went to my medical doctor and over the course of the next few months I tried a few different anxiety medications. I attempted the exam again (3rd) and failed. I knew something was off. I went back to my medical doctor and requested to have a psychological assessment completed. I later found that I had been struggling with ADHD. I and like a lot of females internalize symptoms and it is not as apparent and can often be misdiagnosed with anxiety. I found treatment that has been so life changing for me. I never realized how much I was really struggling. I set another exam date, first thing I did was reach out to the TDC coaches and they quickly responded with support and recommendations to my personal requests. I passed the exam and I have never felt more confident in myself. I hope that everyone who is reading will never give up even when they feel that so many doors have already been closed. Thank you to TDC team and especially to Heidi. I will always be appreciative of what this program.
