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.
I needed to get 98 questions correct to pass the ASWB exam and I scored 107! Yay, thank you TDC!
This course encouraged me to take notes during the lectures, which were very helpful. I enjoyed the quizzes, too. I studied hard and passed by 3 points the second time!
I often struggle with standardized testing, and this program was extremely helpful as I prepared and studied for the exam. The program does an excellent job of outlining the types of questions that are asked, how to interpret question stems, providing common recall questions, and covering all different content areas. I also really appreciate the different learning formats that the program includes (podcast style, quick studies, written quizzes, organized definitions, and mock exams). Grateful for this program and how structured it is!
I believe what made this program beneficial is the ability to take numerous practice tests and then listen to the reasoning behind the question. I am an auditory learner, therefore, this was a great benefit for my learning. The tests prepared my mind for the long, grueling, real thing. I could not have done it without this program. If I need preparation for the clinical exam, I will use TDC again. Thank you
I worked through the TDC course as suggested. I did everything twice and I replayed their recordings over and over again when I was in transit. One aspect that TDC suggested and I can attest to is the importance of being familiar with the NASW. That really helped me decide when I thought I did not know the answer.
I did not want to have to repeat the test, and I heard from other coworkers about how this program helped them. When I started the test, it was exactly what I was prepared for with the exam. I am not a great test taker, and I normally use accommodations; however, I was able to complete the exam with 40 minutes remaining. I will be coming back for the LCSW!
The entire program, from start to finish, prepared me for the exam unlike anything else out there. I see and hear what my colleagues use, and nothing else compares. I credit TDC for my success.
