I passed the LMSW exam my second try thanks to Therapist Development Center. I failed the first time by one point which left me feeling defeated and unmotivated to try again. Life circumstances changed so I didn't revisit the idea to study and try passing again until this year. What's great about Therapist Development Center is they allow you to reinstate your course for free until you pass the exam. I studied for about 2 months and felt SO prepared because of TDC. I don't like taking exams and have pretty bad test anxiety. TDC helped me focus on my areas of weakness and it gave me the confidence to take the exam again. I walked into the exam knowing I was going to pass. This is truly the mentality to have when you go in because it does make a big difference.

TDC helped me pass my LMSW exam on the first try! It was the only program I used, and it had everything I needed. The materials were organized and easy to follow, the audio reviews were especially helpful when I needed to study on the go, and the mock exam was a great way to practice. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone getting ready for the exam!

This program is the reason I passed. It really helped me understand HOW to answer the questions which is a huge part of the exam.

I took the LMSW exam once in 2022 and failed by one point but I didnt finish TDC in its entirety. This time I did all of the steps and I passed. I needed 98 and I got 107.

This course was instrumental in helping me to pass my LMSW exam on the first try. I am about 5 years removed from when I graduated with my MSW and wanted to get my licensure as I contemplate a career change to get into therapy. This course refreshed me on social work fundamentals and enabled me to pass the LMSW with 130 correct answers (per my unofficial score report)!

I can honestly say that the Therapy Development Center (TDC) played a huge role in helping me finally pass the LMSW exam. After failing multiple times, I needed something that not only gave me content—but taught me how to think like the exam. That’s exactly what TDC does.

The audio lectures were incredibly helpful, especially when I needed to study on the go. The way they broke down reasoning and trained me to think clinically, ethically, and through the lens of the test changed everything for me. The structure of their program kept me on track without feeling overwhelmed, and the rationales behind each question taught me why the answers were right—not just what the answers were.

I’d highly recommend TDC to anyone who’s feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It’s not just about memorizing facts—it’s about learning how to approach the test, and that’s what helped me finally succeed.

Thanks TDC! Your materials definitely helped me on passing my LMSW exam on my 1st try! Thanks again!

I fully accredit TDC to being the reason I passed my exam on the first try! “Ask a Coach” feature = gold! Got personalized help when I needed clarification. I focused on TDC’s “Top 50” topics and saw almost ALL of them on my exam! This program me be familiar with the things I needed to and prevented information overload. I used the quick studies for areas I needed more help understanding and quizzes to reinforce the information. The ASWB exam is not a memorization exam, and TDC prepared me to adjust my thinking pattern and reason through questions. Not only did I pass my exam, but I feel more confident in my social work abilities as I enter the field. Thank you, TDC!!!

This was the first program that actually helped me with learning the structure of the test! I have studied other materials in the past and the test was nothing like anything I studied. TDC has been a blessing to me this go around and I love the way everything was broken down to make everything easy to understand.

TDC did a wonderful job of preparing me (a highly anxious test taker and chronic overthinker) for the masters level exam. After taking a month to work my way through the study program I managed to pass my test on the first attempt with 140 correct answers! TDC's thinking strategies for detangling the reasoning questions and guidelines for taking on test day with a strong mentality made all the difference for me. I would definitely recommend this program.
