I was incredibly nervous to take this exam, I had heard it was very difficult. I was lacking direction in my studying and I needed a module type system so I didv some research and decided on TDC. I went through the program twice over 6 months (due to dragging my feet a bit) but felt adequetly prepared to take my exam by the end and my score showed for that.

I would like to sincerely thank Therapy Development Center for providing such a comprehensive and effective LMSW Social Work study course. The material was well organized, practical, and directly applicable to the exam, making complex concepts easier to understand and retain. The course greatly strengthened my confidence and prepared me for the LMSW exam, which I completed. I truly appreciate the quality of instruction and resources provided, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone preparing for their social work licensure.

TDC gave me more than content- it gave me strategy! The breakdown of question types, clear rationales, structured study plan, and focus on test-taking mindset helped everything click. After 2 months of studying, I'm proud to announce I passed my LMSW exam on the FIRST TRY prior to graduation in May. I'm so grateful for TDC and this program was worth every penny spent.

Thank you so much TDC!

I highly recommend the Therapist Development Center. I passed my Masters licensure exam on the first attempt with flying colors. The exam is comprehensive and made me feel extremely confident walking into the testing center. Worth every penny!

I have severe test anxiety so I was really nervous about this exam. The cost of this program is WORTH it. The test strategies, quizzes, and quick guides were extremely helpful. Definitely will be using this for the LCSW.

This was a great program! It is very easy to understand how to use it and helps you achieve the overview of the test that you need. It also helps to understand how to take the exam - i.e. what the testers are looking for!

Hello,

My name is Kanela Kamahalohanuilai, mom of 7 living in Hawaii. I graduated from UH Manoa in 2023. I took the LSW exam 2 times prior to using TDC and failed both times. I was hesitant about paying for the center, but I am grateful I invested into my studies and learning needs. TDC has help me comprehend so much that I feel more competent on providing services and understanding my responsibilities as a social worker. This program works! if you work it. Again, you can spend money on many things, but nothing will work unless you work and take the time to study, review, and to practices. There is time I was discouraged, but I remember the purpose on why I spent the money for TDC. I remember why I needed to get a higher certification in the field of my career. I will highly recommend this program to those that has been out of the University system for some time. TDC is the right place to be to help you gain the knowledge and understanding that you need.

Thank you.

Grateful,Reflective,
Celebratory & Empowering 🙏🏽What a wonderful way to begin 2026! I officially passed my LMSW exam 🎉
I'm starting 2026 with gratitude, growth, and a huge milestone checked off. Despite the stress and distractions, I stayed the course. I'm deeply appreciative of how softly the course began with eating fruit and drinking juice before the exam and when you get your break. When was unsure about Motivational Interviewing, TDC answered quickly. I failed by 8 pts in November but was able to get a waiver and passed 1/16/26. One month before my birthday… what a great gift to myself! ✨ ❤️ Thank you Lord

My score on the LMSW exam was almost the exact same as my score on the TDC mock exam. I was able to recognize terms that were not taught during my degree program. I would not have passed my exam without the help of TDC!

I took the exam once but this provided so much reassurance. I highly suggest doing the program twice. I loved working through quick sheets and test. Absolutely recommend.
