This was the backbone of my study material for the exam. I took longer than the suggested time but found this program to be extremely helpful and flexible. The up-front pretest was sobering to give an idea of what to work on, while right after explaining why each question was important. Quizzes and lectures were a good way of allowing me to focus on what I was currently working on. I felt that the mock exams were beneficial for adding needed pressure as the exam approached. I tried a few other study resources but found the Therapist d\Development Center to be the most beneficial. I felt that the exam was a bit more tricky than the mocks, but other resources tended to be overly tricky, to the point of not being beneficial due to lack of explanations.
Studying for the exam seemed overwhelming. I didn't even know where to start. This program broke studying into manageable chunks, helped me get organized, and study what was most important. I liked that there was a mix of audio lectures as well as quizzes. I passed on my first attempt with a very wide margin!
I was concerned about data showing low pass rates for those over 50. I had zero issues when I took my exam. I am thankful for TDC!
Before starting TDC I was consistently scoring in the 60% range on my practice tests for the master level exam. After going through the TDC program in just five weeks I began scoring in the mid 80% range. This gave me the confidence to take the exam just a few weeks after graduating with my masters. Not only did I pass, I passed with 29 more correct answers than I needed and nearly 25 percentage points higher than needed. I will absolutely come back when I am able to for my clinical exam. This course was wonderful and I’m so thankful for the practical and informative material provided.
Thank you to TDC for helping me pass my LMSW exam on the first attempt! I took the LMSW exam in my final semester of my master's program and felt overwhelmed with knowing where to begin studying. TDC laid out sample 5- and 8-week study plans that were extremely helpful to utilize while balancing work, classes, and studying. This program not only goes over top social work topics, but also provides a multitude of quick studies, practice quizzes, and mock exams to practice sitting for the 4 hour period. I found the DSM audio lectures and values/ ethics review especially helpful to refresh my memory before going into the exam. TDC helps you develop a way of strategically thinking for the exam, with plenty of testing tips spread out throughout the course. Very thankful for TDC for making this study process so manageable. I will definitely be using this company again when studying for the LCSW!
I praise God!!!! TDC was major in me passing my LMSW exam. This was my 3rd time. I also used Raytube. I will use TDC again for my LCSW. Please purchase the program, if I would have purchased the program the 1st time I would have passed by now…I’m sure!! Overall, I’m thankful for TDC!
Practice questions helped the most.
TDC was very useful! Particularly how they review the DSM!
TDC's LMSW prep course helped me to pass the exam with a comfortable margin. My mock exam score and my real exam score were only about 2 points apart in difference, and TDC absolutely put me in the position to pass the exam on my first attempt!
I found this tool so easy to use and I loved the audio component. Without this study tool, I don't think I'd passed this exam on my first try. I would absolutely recommend this tool to my peers!
