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.

So grateful for TDC! I did not know where to start going into my taking MSW exam for the first and my supervisor recommended this program. I couldn't imagine passing the exam on the first try without the TDC and will be coming back when it is time to study for my LCSW.

Having horrible test anxiety and trouble breaking down the questions at the beginning, I used TDC for a solid 3 months and passed on my FIRST try! I reached out to a coach a couple times and that feedback was helpful too! I am officially a Licensed Hospice Social Worker and start my new role on Monday! THANK YOU TDC for helping me through this journey and making it a little easier! it’s SO MUCH information but the modules and lectures are broken down perfectly. I will recommend the course to others happily.

Studying with the Therapist Development Center (TDC) was a game changer in preparing for my LMSW exam. The program helped me build both my knowledge and confidence with its structured approach, clear explanations, and focus on critical thinking. The audio lectures and quick studies were especially helpful for reviewing key concepts on the go, and the practice questions really mirrored the feel of the actual exam. What I appreciated most was how TDC taught me how to think like a social worker/therapist—not just memorize facts. Thanks to TDC, I walked into the exam feeling prepared and left knowing I gave it my all

This program took all the guesswork out of what to study. I appreciate how thoughtfully organized the program was and all the personalized tips for the exam. The audio lectures were a lifesaver on my long commute and enabled me to utilize that time to study. The quizzes and mock tests helped me get a good feel for what the real test would be like and helped calm any anxiety about the format. TDP's resources helped me stay on track while studying, and I even internalized the pre-test prep talk to encourage me during the lengthy four-hour exam! Worth every penny!

TDC is a great program. It gives you everything you need to be successful in passing the aswb exam.

I really enjoyed the study material. It allowed me to go at my own pace and I feel that the practice quizzes and tests were really helpful.

I can’t thank Therapist Development Center enough for helping me prepare for my LMSW exam. The program was on point, and all areas were helpful, from the comprehensive study materials to the practice questions that really made a difference. What I loved most was the practical advice, like the reminder to take a snack at question 85 – it was such a small but incredibly thoughtful tip that helped me stay focused during the exam. Thanks to Amanda and colleague for their support, I felt confident and well-prepared, and I’m thrilled to have passed! I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to ace the social work licensure exam!!
