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.

This is very good program for people who are audio and may have ADHD.

This course gave me a new insight towards becoming a therapist or clinician I did not receive during my MSW graduate program. I was not aware of the numerous layers of being a therapist/clinician.

I highly recommend TDC. I felt I was well prepared and confident when taking the exam. Reviewing TDC quick studies several times, taking the practice and mock exams was very helpful. Thank you.

TDC helped me feel prepared! One of my favorite things about the program was that it provided a comprehensive step-by-step plan. When I first started studying, I wasn't sure how to begin. This course provided guidance on the different topics with lectures, quick studies, quizzes, and practice tests, and also provided a suggested timeline. I highly recommend it!

The material covered in this course was so helpful. Amanda's voice and tips were comforting and soothing. I took her advice to exactly to a tee, from the way she suggested to think, to the amount of breaks and the fruit to eat the day of. I am happy to say I passed the test on my first attempt and I honestly do not think I would have done so without this platform.

I had never taken a social work exam before, so I was very anxious about taking my Masters Level Social Work Exam. The study content through the Therapist Development Center helped me understand the different types of questions that would be on the exam and how questions would be structured. The practice quizzes and study material helped me a great deal, and I passed the LGSW exam on my first try. I would recommend it to anyone. The price is right.

I went through the program 2 times, completely. Followed everything that was suggested, utilized all Quick Studies, quizzes, exams. Followed Amanada's suggestions for test prep, day before test and test day. I went into the exam confident. On the 85 question mock exams I scored 75% on each, on the Final Mock Exam 81%. The information given before the Mock Exams noted if you score mid-upper 70's, you are well prepared. I scored 80% on the actual exam. I have been in the field of hospice social work for 20 years. I was blessed with a Palliative Medicine social work job in the hospital in February, for which an LMSW is required. I am 56 years old, sustained a TBI in 2018 which compromised my memory and visual functioning. I feared there were no way I would ever pass trying to study with these challenges-the TDC program prepared me, gave me confidence. I walked in confident, utilized all I learned-being able to apply terms to situations was key. My appreciation to TDC, my gratefulness!!!!! Debbie Frahm, LMSW!!!!!!!
