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 feel that TDC was significantly instrumental in my passing of the exam. I really needed the structure of a course to keep me accountable. The material covered was very helpful and allowed me to identify my weak areas for further studying. I would recommend this course to anyone who needs more structure in their study practice and doesn't want the stress of curating a curriculum on their own.
This is great and thorough and comprehensive program that helped me!
TDC was an excellent comprehensive and digestible study system that was integral in my preparation for the ASWB Master's level exam. I passed my exam on the first try by 23 points. I am not a strong test-taker, but the information provided in the system coupled with the practice exams and rationales was key in building my confidence and preparing me for conquering the exam.
After taking the LMSW exam seven times, I was mentally and emotionally drained. A friend recommended the Therapist Development Center, and it was truly a breath of fresh air. This program provided the perfect balance of knowledge and practical application, helping me finally bridge the gap between what I knew and how to apply it on test day. The structure, clarity, and encouragement built into the program made all the difference. I not only passed, but I also regained my confidence as a professional. I highly recommend the Therapist Development Center to anyone preparing for the LMSW exam—and I will certainly be using it again when I begin studying for the LCSW exam!
I really enjoyed this program. I appreciated the study program's structure and effectiveness.
I spent a hefty amount of money on so many programs. Besides the ASWB guidebook and practice exam, this is the only thing I paid for that was worthwhile. When I bought this I on and off studied and went straight with studying for 14 days, I passed on the first try and could not have done it without this program.
This was an amazing study program that really helped me break down some big topics and give me structure and a place to start. This program overall helped me gain confidence prior to the exam and truly works. I loved that there were different types of study materials such as audio lectures and rationales, quick studies, and multiple test questions. This program was worth every penny!
