Before I purchased Therapist Development Center's (TDC) materials I was overwhelmed with what to study because there was so much material to cover. TDC helped me with how to study & what to study. The materials were portable, so I always had some quick study materials with me at all times. Plus the audio materials were a tremendous help for me allowing me to replay the materials on my 45 minute commute to/from work. The quizzes & mock test all helped me with learning the materials and with preparing myself physically to take the exam. Historically I've not done well on national exams. However, the tips, strategies & pep talk from start to finish, all helped me to be confident, prepared & calm during the exam and ultimately successful. Thank you! I didn't use any other materials once I purchased TDC. I highly recommend TDC!!! When it's time to study for my clinical exam, I'll be back! Karen L Reddick, LMSW, MA
TDC is super knowledgable about social work and the LMSW exam. But what stood out is that they really seemed to understand me as a learner; I'm not the kind of person who can just sit down with a book. I needed the lectures and study guides because that's how I learn and TDC "met" me there. I really DID have Amanda's voice in my head during some of the questions!
Im a horrible test taker. I kept putting the test off over and over due to not feeling ready enough to take the exam and life situations. However, I finally decided to take whether I pass or fail. This exam LMSW was the hardest test I have ever taken. I wanted to second guess myself on every questioned I answered. However, I never got the ah ha notion, therefore I only changed three questions, maybe I shouldn't have but after reviewing I thought I should. I did not pass by much, but I passed and I am most grateful!
I am extremely pleased with the TDC study program! I was willing to invest in this program because I would rather invest upfront to increase my chances of only taking the exam once. It worked! I loved the organized structure of the program and the thoroughness of the content. In the long run, I saved time, money (on taking the exam multiple times), and stress. I felt prepared for the LMSW exam and believe that I learned many things that will help me to be a better social worker. I fully intend to use this program when I prepare to study for the LCSW!
I did not pass the first time, but it wasn't TDC's fault. I didn't really take the time to go throughly over the quick studies more than 1 time. The next time around I completed the material 3 times and felt comfortable taking it the second time. Thanks TDC!
This program was very helpful! It is very organized and thorough! I look forward to using TDC for my clinical exam as well!
I could not have passed the exam without learning from TDC how to think about it and how to analyze the questions. The basic distinctions made by TDC materials also made a difference.
I would recommend this program to anyone! This course really prepared me for my LMSW exam. This exam prep offers audio and visual learning in addition to many practice questions. After taking this prep course one time, I passed my exam and felt confident in my ability to do so!
I totally credit TDC for helping me pass the LMSW exam! I am 54 years old, got my MSW 30 years ago and did not practice social work for several years but now planning to return to the profession I did not expect to pass the exam the first time because of the challenges of studying at my age. But TDC made the learning so much fun and it motivated to keep studying without getting too frustrated. I think the most helpful feature of the program for me were the audio lectures. Thank you TDC! Highly recommend it!
Thank you God! And TDC! I'll see you again when I'm ready to study for the LCSW exam for sure.
To all studying currently for your exam, if you study the exam material in the sequential order provided, literally from beginning to end you will pass your exam. I took every test beginning w/the 1st pretest and every test thereafter. I passed each mock exam and or quiz w/scores ranging from 81 to 96%. On the final mock exam I scored 81%.
Lastly don't doubt yourself, NO SELF DEFEATING, NEGATIVE! Self talk. Think positively only, just keep telling yourself "I'm going to pass this exam no matter what, I have all the tools I need to pass right here in front on me in this program!"
