I am horrible test taker and English is my second language, german native here. I was worried and doubted my ability to pass on the first try, I did TDCs program three times and passed with flying colors. I prepared myself based on the guidelines in the study prep and it helped me soothe my anxiety. I used other studying book materials before trying TDC but it wasn't helpful, no information was sticking. Anyways, it's a great program!! I can only highly recommend it, especially for those who grow up with a different language.
I came across TDC soon after starting my MSW journey in 2020. I saved the information for future use especially because of the discounts for military and veterans. I am in my last quarter of school and will graduate next month in February. I requested for the military discount after I had my exam date scheduled and heard back within an appropriate time frame. I liked the audio part of the program as I was able to listen to the information while driving. I also liked the anecdotal stories that helped me remember the information. TDC study material was simple and to the point. I purchased another study material which was a physical book and found it was very overwhelming with too much information. The TDC mock exam was very close to and indicative of the ASWB board practice and actual exam. I would definitely recommend TDC to everyone. First time to pass the licensure exam and passed before the conferral of my degree. Thank you to TDC. I will be back for the LCSW Exam.
Hi TDC Family, Today I passed my LMSW! When I first began this road with TDC, I scored a 58% on the Top 50 pretest. I was mortified. Having graduated last May, I knew I wasn't ready to take the exam, so I procrastinated until a recent job offer was contingent upon my successful passing. So, seven weeks ago, I started with another test prep company, which I won't name. But, I quickly realized I would need a different teaching method than just utilizing acronyms. Realizing that I was running out of time, I remembered TDC as a suggestion from my professor. So, I committed to the investment. After my first pass-through of the materials, I scored 64% on the DSM 5 exam, 86% on the Values and Ethics, and 82% on the crisis. Then, I scored a 72% on Mock exam one and a 74% on mock exam two. As outlined by the study plan, I repeated the course, and my scores increased to 86%, 86%, 90%, 90%, and 88%, respectively. I ended the course scoring an 82% on the final mock exam. If you're CONSIDERING purchasing this course, stop it! Just buy the course and be glad that you did. In six weeks, I went from "Questioning my ability to successfully pass the exam to walking into the testing center this morning feeling confident and prepared that I knew the material and was ready to pass!" Thank you so much.
Audio lectures and quizzes definitely helped me with the exam.
I have attempted this exam over and over again feeling like I wanted to give up. A friend suggested this and said it really helped her focus and pass the test. The practice test, study guides, lectures, and reviews helped me increase my confidence and understand material. I could not recommend this program more!
I’m thankful for the course and felt well prepared.
I failed my first time, and I was so nervous to try again, I could not find any dependable material to study. I tried a few others but after researching other user's experience, I did not have much confidence. I googled and found TDC, and said well, why not?
The structure was gold. I balanced listening to podcasts alongside my full-time job, doing some quick studies and exams. I needed to hear the "take a break." "eat." and "attack the exam." The balance was a huge help to my mindset--at the end before clicking enter I said "I did what I could!" Thanks to TDC for giving me my confidence back!
I had this program for a while, but balancing work, school, and life made it difficult to dedicate time to studying. As a result, I studied sporadically whenever I could. Recently, I finally had the opportunity to focus and completed this program in a week. It can be intense, but it’s definitely manageable if you’re up for the challenge. I passed my exam on the first try, surpassing the required passing score.
The program itself is well-organized and provides clear guidance through audio lessons and quick-study materials. The practice exams are especially helpful in assessing where you stand and identifying areas that may need more focus. Reaching out to TDC when I needed to was also a smooth process and a response was received promptly. I look forward to using TDC again when preparing for my LCSW exam in the future.
I started studying for my exam about 2 months after finishing my Social Work degree. I tried doing it on my own for a while and knew that I needed to find something that was structured and could guide me through the necessary material. I had heard about TDC through a classmate and decided to try it. It was what I was hoping for- a guide with a valuable source of information and a timeline to follow. I had just started the program when I had an unexpected change in work schedule and didn't go through the program as I hoped. I contacted TDC to request added time because I wanted to take full advantage of the program. They were happy to help and after reviewing everything as I originally had planned, I soon took my exam (for the first time) and I passed! TDC was extremely helpful.
I first want to Thank God and give Him all of the glory for me passing the LMSW exam, because without Him I wouldn't have passed! Praise the LORD!
I then want to thank you Amanda, TDC, because this program has truly helped me not only enhance my knowledge and learning of social work overall but also pass my exam. You gave me several extensions and the first time I actually focused to take the exam by using TDC it has helped me pass the exam the very first time! I am forever grateful and thankful for TDC. You are helping many social workers with your program through strengthening us and equipping us with invaluable information to pass the social work exam and become better change agents.
Thank You truly,
You are a phenomenal teacher :)
