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.

Thanks TDC! Your materials definitely helped me on passing my LMSW exam on my 1st try! Thanks again!

"I can honestly say that the Therapy Development Center (TDC) played a huge role in helping me finally pass the LMSW exam. After failing multiple times, I needed something that not only gave me content—but taught me how to think like the exam. That’s exactly what TDC does.

The audio lectures were incredibly helpful, especially when I needed to study on the go. The way they broke down reasoning and trained me to think clinically, ethically, and through the lens of the test changed everything for me. The structure of their program kept me on track without feeling overwhelmed, and the rationales behind each question taught me why the answers were right—not just what the answers were.

I’d highly recommend TDC to anyone who’s feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It’s not just about memorizing facts—it’s about learning how to approach the test, and that’s what helped me finally succeed."

This course was instrumental in helping me to pass my LMSW exam on the first try. I am about 5 years removed from when I graduated with my MSW and wanted to get my licensure as I contemplate a career change to get into therapy. This course refreshed me on social work fundamentals and enabled me to pass the LMSW with 130 correct answers (per my unofficial score report)!

I failed the test twice due to not knowing how to take it, not from not knowing the content. If I didn’t pass it the third time I was going to loose my job, so I invested in the program. Taking the test felt easy compared to the first 2 times. I highly recommend this program.

I really enjoyed using Therapist Development Center to prepare for my exam. I had purchased other programs in the past but never felt confident enough to test. After going through TDC’s materials, I finally felt prepared and walked into my exam with confidence and I passed on my first try! I’m so grateful for this program and highly recommend it to anyone preparing for their licensing exam.

You guys are the best!!!

TDC was incredibly helpful in keeping me on track with the material and how to study it! I learned a lot about studying tips and I feel that it made a difference day of my exam. I passed the ASWB on my first try! Thank you, TDC - you were my only studying material, so I give it all to you!
