This was my third time trying to pass and previous attempts I used other study materials.
If you’re like me and have testing anxiety the amount of organization this program offers really helps build confidence!
TDC is a great source to start your study journey for both the LMSW & LCSW.
During my final semester of graduate school in 2023, many people informed me to utilize TDC in preparation for the LMSW exam. I decided to purchase TDC and dedicated 12 weeks (3 months) to studying. I followed each step and I completed the program TWICE, as instructed by TDC. I reviewed the mock exams and final mock exam to understand the reasoning behind the answers, which allowed for me to understand how to answer the questions as a Licensed Masters Social worker, while imaging that the client was sitting in my office as TDC instructed. I also utilized the ASWB practice exam and one other resource, to reinforce what TDC taught me. I appreciate TDC for providing me with the foundation to pass my test on the first attempt!!! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I loved the interactive experience! I really imagined how ya'll would approach the answers on the test and didn't second guess or overthink! Thank you for everything and will be back when I need to study for the LCSW :)
Despite failing the exam by nine points, I refused to give up. I tried different study materials, but nothing gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. When I filed an appeal and waited for my second chance, I considered buying TDC, but hesitated due to its cost and for spending a lot of money on taking the exam twice. However, thanks to a colleague's recommendation, I decided to invest in myself and give it a try. From the first lecture, I knew that I had made the right decision. TDC helped me not only to retain the information I needed but also to structure my approach and look at things from a different perspective. I learned how to break down questions, read every word carefully, and take breaks to refuel. These strategies helped me increase my grade by 11 points and pass the exam in just three days after purchasing TDC. Even though I didn't have time to complete the entire program, I felt empowered and ready to face any challenge. I proved to myself that with determination and the right tools, I could turn failure into success.
The question of if I would recommend TDC to a friend is a no-brainer, considering I was recommending it to anyone who would listen in my program before I even took the exam. I found it to be incredibly informative and also suited to my learning style. I'm sure other prep programs can be equally beneficial to folks, but I know that I would've been overwhelmed with information if I had utilized other programs. I needed a 99 to pass my exam, and I scored a 127!
There were many times during the test where I could confidently answer questions because I had studied with TDC materials and did the program. Take the time, set aside as much time as you will need, and study. It will be worth it and this guide is why I was able to pass. I learned a lot from this study program, some stuff I learned in here that I did not in my master's program.
I am so glad I went with TDC to help me prepare for the exam. They made it fun and easy to study, and I will definitely be back to study for the clinical exam!
Passed my test on the first try using nothing but TDC as study material. Enough said!
I am so grateful that I did not give up. I will always look back on this experience for encouragement!
