I was on my second attempt when I purchased TDC. I felt TDC was more complete than the other programs I had purchased in the past. I felt TDC really broke down the concepts for better understanding. What really stood out about TDC is the motto: "we are with you until you pass". That really stood out to me. No other program gives you that kind of reassurance. Thank you again to TDC creators and Emily for being an excellent coach!

I only study for a week and half for the LMSW exam and TDC really was effective in putting the material into digestible parts. I have not used any other ways to study and only used materials provided to me by TDC. I needed a 98 to pass and answered 116 questions correctly. I truly believe that with the time I had to study (1.5 to 2 weeks) without TDC, I would not have passed. Thank you all so much! I will be utilizing this program when it is time for me to take the LCSW exam.

I started Studying in Feb 2019. I am an auditory learner and I knew I needed a program that would cater to my learning needs. I took my time and reviewed the material more than once. I felt confident going into the test, and on questions where I wasn't sure, I was able to make educated guesses based on what I had learned. The questions that didn't make sense really stood out. I needed a 99 to pass and I received a score of 109 :). I completed self-talk throughout the whole exam and only changed about 5 questions that I flagged.

The Therapist Development Centered assisted me in reframing my study approach. I was once unorganized in how I structured my study time but with the strategic format that TDC provided I felt confident and prepared throughout the process. TDC is worth the investment! Thank you for your services!

I took the ASWB for the first time in February 2019 and failed by 14 points. A friend told me about this program and how she passed her second time. I just took the exam and passed with a score of 107 out of 99 I scored 8 point higher than needed to pass all thanks to this amazing program. I now have more job opportunities and things are going great ! I will be back for my clinical in three years : )

Thank you so much, TDC family, for your guidance and support in helping me pass the exam. Listening to lectures and taking notes was such a great way to study. This is truly the best program I have ever used. Thanks again for everything you all did to help me succeed!

6 weeks ago I was reading reviews like the one I'm about to write. I'm here to tell you that if I passed this test (LMSW), anyone can. I've been totally out of the field for (ready...) more than TEN years! That's right...due to a million reasons (namely life), I left social work. I graduated with my MSW in 2007 and got hired right out of school. I foolishly delayed taking the test. When I did take it in 2009, I failed, which sealed the deal for me going a different way on the career path. During the past 10 years I always regretted that choice. I knew where my heart was and was so mad at myself for giving up. I had half heartedly researched the issue (being out of school for so long and endeavoring to take the test) and didn't get good feedback. I just didn't think it was possible to relearn my entire two year program so many years later to try to conquer this test. WELL! Enter TCD. First of all, it just felt right, like they spoke my language... so I gave it a shot. When I took the very first 50 question exam...I got 46%. That's right, I got more than half of the questions wrong. This was a mere six weeks ago. I thought i was doomed. But the minute I started the lectures (by far my favorite part of the program) and taking notes and remembering the style of the test...it all started to (pretty easily) come back to me. This is the ONLY system that doesn't try to scare you with a RIDICULOUS amount of memorization. Instead, it is calmly covered in a very systematic, non-threatening way. I went through the course in two weeks, then did it all over again in another two weeks. That test I got a 46% on? I got a 90% the second time around. I listened to Amanda's tips (imperative) for attacking the exam again and again. Well...today, 10 years after my first attempt, I passed with flying colors!! It feels like one of the greatest accomplishments of my life to date, especially because I let it intimidate me for a decade. I'm telling you...all you have to do is follow the program exactly as it is prescribed and you will see for yourself. THANK YOU AMANDA and everyone at TDC!!

When I started studying for the LMSW I was a little overwhelmed at the amount of material and not knowing exactly how to manage it all. I was reminded of TDC by a former professor and I am so glad I reached out for the study material. The online material - study outline, Top 50 topics, quizzes, audio, and mock exams really helped to put everything in perspective. Listening to the audio and having someone explain everything was especially helpful. I only had one month to study and I could not have passed without TDC. I would strongly recommend this study system to others.

The program created a good foundation for understanding the test and how to mentally prepare for it.

I graduated with my MSSW in 2013, from an Administration track and so I did not have a solid grasp of the clinical aspect of Social Work. Also,I worked for 5 years in Program Management and Evaluation, so I did not have much professional experience in clinical social work. I decided now to take my LMSW exam considering that I was planning to move out of New York very soon, and had already been granted approval by NYS to sit for the exam. I didn't want to have to restart the process of getting approval in another state. I knew that this was a very sensitive situation, I needed to pass on my first attempt, and so I needed a system with a high success rate. After reading many positive reviews about TDC, I went ahead and purchased the study system, and drove right in. I studied through the entire system once, and then went over several areas multiple times. I took my exam nearly two months after starting the study system, needed a 98 to pass, and I scored 120.
