I had such an anxiety about taking this test. There are also so many programs out there that it is hard to decide what to pick. I had heard of Therapist Development Center and was hesitant at first but I am so glad I signed up for this program! I love how flexible they are. Because of some stuff, I wasn't able to take the test when I wanted to. They renewed the program for me until I had an actual date and was ready to take the exam. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is trying to decide. I just took my exam yesterday and passed! I am so relieved and thankful for this program.
So appreciate all the support and structure of this program. Setting up a study calendar and knowing how long each lesson would take really helped me feel in control. I did the program 2x before taking the test and passed my first time taking the test. So grateful to coach Amanda and her thinking strategies and encouragement. I had my snack and juice on test day and it was a lifeline! ❤️❤️❤️. So happy to pass my test for licensure and also feel like a lot of learning from my masters program was solidified through this course. Thank you to all at Therapist Development Center
I had so much happening in my life immediately after graduating with my MSW degree. I had been burned out on school, working a graduate assistantship position, and completing my practicum hours. I knew I wanted to take my LMSW exam soon after graduating, but I felt I needed more confidence with my test-taking ability due to all the stressors I had. A friend used this study system for her LCSW and raved about how it helped her to feel more prepared. I decided to pay for the study system even though other options were available for the MSW study prep. I can proudly say that I passed my LMSW exam today with 33 more points than necessary to pass! I have shared this study system with my peers that I graduated with because it definitely helped me to feel more prepared and less anxious going into the exam. Thanks for this wonderful resource!
Great program. Loved the structure of it and ability to create your own schedule. Was really helpful in condensing the information needed for the exam. Quick study guides and reviewing quizzes/tests (right and wrong answers) were really beneficial. Coaches were extremely helpful too- would get a response within a week or less so be sure to give yourself enough time. I used an ASWB practice test once I completed this course, which also helped solidify the material learned here. Would definitely recommend this program!
TDC made me feel extremely prepared for my LMSW exam, and I have recommended the program to all of my friends!
I loved TDC it helped me tremendously with studying and retaining the information. I loved how thoroughly they went through the different topics and made sure it's understood with examples and scenarios. I enjoy focusing on each topic and taking the time to detail by breaking it down into manageable areas. It was a great investment and I will surely use it for the Clinical exam. Thank You !!!! for all you do.
Loved this course, I felt so much more confident walking into the exam.
I passed with a 129 and only needed an 98 to pass on the 1st try! Overall TDC was very beneficial. I am an auditory and visual learner which TDC provided both. There were lots of tests and quizzes with auditory discussion on rationale for answers which helped tremendously in preparing me for the test. Additionally, the coaches were very responsive when I had questions and were very accommodating when I needed an extension when I needed to push my test further out due to personal reasons. Would definitely recommend their program and will be purchasing the LCSW course in 3 years.
I really felt that TDC helped me to develop my knowledge of certain content areas in which I was weak. The Quick Studies were incredibly valuable and the mock exams so helpful in developing my brain muscle to tackle 170 questions in one sitting. My mock exam % was very similar to my actual test result today so it was a great training run for the real race. I am deeply grateful to TDC for their rigorous content and organized content.
I am taking this exam over ten years after completing my MSW, so had reservations about my ability to pass my exam. The design of the course is clear and thorough. Content in the program (especially clinical interventions and DSM diagnoses) was far more in depth than actual content on the exam, but it was helpful to review. For people who don't know where to start in their exam study, this program lays it all out for you.
