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 was so nervous when I started looking for exam study materials, and after reading dozens of reviews and people's satisfaction I knew it would be worth it. I didn't realize how prepared I was for the exam, and I felt so confident as I was taking the exam because I could easily recall the things I learned through the quizzes and quick studies.

This program made me feel SO confident going in. I am not normally a good test taker and I fight lots fo testing nerves but after finishing this program and going over and over the materials leading up to my test, I felt READY. Thank you TDC for putting together such a comprehensive, clear and concise collection of materials.

I am beyond excited to share I passed my LMSW exam. I had taken the exam three times prior, and finally passed, using this platform. About a month to a month in a half prior to my exam I was introduced to the program and I’m so excited. The course was very detailed, user friendly and easy to follow. Having the print outs to follow with the lectures were so helpful.

Great program, extremely thorough and digestible. I appreciate the fusion of learning science with the relevant test information. I feel it was much more effective than simply reading a study guide on my own.

I absolutely loved all the material, it was all very extensive and I was able to study everything that I needed. I was so excited after I learned that I passed! Thank you TDC!

TDC covered a lot of content information that I was able to remember during my exam, I had Amanda's voice in the back of my head I am finally an LMSW!

I cannot recommend the Therapist Development Center (TDC) enough for anyone preparing for their LMSW exam. This program gave me all the knowledge I needed to feel fully prepared. I went through the program twice—which I highly recommend—and each round helped deepen my understanding and sharpen my skills. By the end, I felt confident in both myself and my abilities.

The TDC materials didn’t just teach me facts; they strengthened my problem-solving and reasoning skills, which made all the difference on exam day. The night before my exam, I took the mock exam and scored an 81%—a big jump from the 60–70% range I had been scoring earlier. I passed the LMSW exam on my first try, and I truly owe that success to TDC. Their structured, supportive, and strategic approach is exactly what I needed to succeed.
