I finally took the test after years of procrastination, I often would begin to study but felt like there was so much information to learn that I didn't' know where to begin or what to prioritize. Your program eliminated the "extra!" I felt confident that what I was studying was relevant and I focused on what you told me to.
I feel that your program also helped me to learn how to test again. At 62, I was the oldest person in there. I was the first to finish and I PASSED!
I wouldn’t say I am a strong practical type test taker or particularly good with multiple choice, but this prep explaining how to approach questions and deduce/organize the choices was helpful. I was able to pass my clinical exam by a comfortable margin on the first try.
Thank you so much for preparing me for the exam! This is an excellent program! I highly recommend this study program :)
Thank you Amanda! I struggle with extreme test anxiety, and when I found out that I had a short time-frame to complete the Clinical exam...my anxiety went out of control! Note: I graduated with my MSW approximately 25 years ago. Your lectures and worksheets, as well as the Quick Study guides and Mock exams allowed me to feel well prepared for this exam. I took my exam today and had confidence (through your course, positive affirmations and visualization) and did not experience much anxiety. I PASSED on my very first try! I would recommend this course to anyone preparing for the Clinical Exam!
I finished with an hour to spare. I found the mock tests on TDC to be extremely similar to the actual exam. I only used TDC and I felt very well prepared for the exam. I would definitely recommend TDC to those studying for the LCSW exam. Well worth the money!
I have procrastinated taking my clinical licensing exam for a few years now. I have a medical disorder that affects my focus, concentration, and memory and had anxiety about being prepared enough for this exam. A friend recommended this program to me, which was extremely helpful. I purchased this program over a year ago and had to have my time extended numerous times due to life events that occurred, causing a setback. My time was extended every time I requested, without any hesitation or difficulties. I was able to take the test and pass on the first attempt! I am so thankful for this course, it helped to alleviate my anxiety over the exam and helped me to pass.
Everything in the program was great. EXCEPT... Amanda made it a strong point to ask us to bring fruit or some other healthy snack to the test, which I did. However, I was told by the testing staff (Pearson) that the test rules stated that I was unable to eat during the exam. Not sure if the staffers just mis-read the rules or if this has actually changed. Either way, I think you should check and update your program accordingly.
I am grateful for the TDC program. I am not someone that usually is successful on the first try of a standardized test and I passed well within range on the first sitting ;-) Thanks TDC!!!!
I passed my exam on my first try. I studied for 4 months and reviewed the program twice. I used all Amanda's recommendations they were all helpful and the program helped me build endurance for my actual exam. I felt prepared and confident during the exam. Thank you TDC!

I had always put off pursing my LCSW due, in large part, to the fear of not passing the ASWB Clinical Exam. When I moved states pursing my LCSW became a big component of wanting to progress in my professional career; therefore, a two months ago I decided to sign up to take the ASWB exam. My original plan was to just take it cold-turkey and three weeks before the exam I had a major epiphany and decided I needed to study for the exam. I started to fret as I didn't know what program to choose, as there are so many. Then, through a Facebook ASWB prep group, I read about TDC. Reading testimonials about the program I decided to go on a limb and purchase it. I want to say five minutes into reviewing everything the program had in the Study Center, I was super relieved because I had found a program that fit my way of thinking and studying. I crammed all the information I could within those three weeks leading up to the exam, as well as listening to the recordings which HELPED ME understand the "why" for certain answers I missed on the quizzes/mock exams. I lived, breathed, and even dreamed about TDC. My poor husband must've been exhausted with seeing all the guides scattered on our living room floor. The last week before the exam I did have a nervous breakdown but, then TDC helped calm me down, with the pep talk. I do not regret ever purchasing this program as it is SUPER HELPFUL. There's so much I can say about it, but the main thing that stood out for me was the mental preparation for actually sitting down to take the exam; calming techniques, refocusing when you get tired of staring at the computer screen, focusing on the here-and-now, that helped me a lot.
Thank you TDC! I passed on my first try and I credit this so much to the amazing program you have for us Social Workers!!!
