This program was amazing. It allowed me to work full-time and coach. I took the exam before and failed using other exam material. Once, I used TDC I passed my masters level exam. I will definitely be using this program again for the clinical exam.
Thanks,

Definitely worth the investment. If you need structure and a hands on learning style, this is definitely a program worth investing in for the exam. I was able to pace myself and easily absorb the information. The exam facility was booked out by 2 months which was frustrating. I request an extension because of the delay and it was granted. However, this program allowed me to organize my studying so I was prepared even with the delay. The exam is difficult. Originally I had a book to study from and I would drift off, unable to retain the information. I do not believe I would have received the same results with just the book. I passed on the first try! I have recommended it to several students that are planning on taking after graduation. I have also recommended it to the Director of the MSW program at the University of Saint Joseph. Thank you Emily and Todd Pellegrino and the coaches for helping me pass!!
I have a major problem with being a perfectionist. I put off exam for near 2 years because I was afraid of failure. I felt okay going into it. I don't think you'll ever feel prepared for it. I got a 79% on the final mock exam. Which is what I got on the test I took. I only needed 99 to pass and I got a 118. I finished in 90 minutes and the ones I didnt know I didnt stress about. I didnt sleep at all the night before exam but I went in and felt great. I will use TDC for LCSW!
I had always lacked understanding of the exam and what it required of me. With TDC, the break down of the rationales was very helpful. I was able to take myself out of the equation and look at what the question was asking me to do. I am so thankful I made the investment. Thank you all for everything.
Licensed for 20 yrs. Needed to take the test to get license in another state for a new job. In large part because of this prep program, despite being out of school for 25 ys, passed the first time. This program has everything you need.
OMG, I purchased TDC about 2 weeks ago. I only was able to study for an hour a night, but not every night missed some. On January 23, 2019, I woke up had an breakfast. Arrived at the testing center more confident then the first two times. When it was over I had passed, this program helped me see what I was doing wrong, and taught me how to really break the questions down. I have already recommended to others. Thanks TDC...
Currently tearing up because I remember reading other people's testimonies on here wondering if I should sign up and if it's worth it. Let me tell you, it is. I PASSED MY TEST specifically because of this program.
No doubt, I studied hard every time I took the LMSW exam, but this program really helped me understand how to approach each question with a different mindset of expecting every answer choice to be correct and how to choose the BEST, NEXT, or FIRST answer they are looking for in test takers.
My personal favorite perk of this program was the Facebook group specific to those currently studying for the LMSW or LCSW exam through TDC. Whenever I was unmotivated to study or would get overwhelmed with stress, I would see inspiring posts from others saying they just passed and specific things they did to approach the exam. The TDC community really helped me to keep going and to do my absolute best.
Just something I shared in my victory post:
"Remember you only need 1 pass, attempts don’t matter in the end. Proud of everyone in this group for wanting to move up whether it’s for your LMSW or LCSW, keep at it! Your patience and dedication will be rewarded."
This course was very well organized. The content was very clear and informative. The quizzes and mock exams really helped me to study. The rationales for the mock exams were also very helpful.
Thank you TDC for helping me PASS the LMSW exam! I really appreciated how your system broke down the information for each section tested into just what is needed and not give an overwhelming amount of info that is unnecessary. I loved the audios the most because I was able to listen to them on-the-go, and I found listening to them over and over really help sink in the info. My favorite audios were "Let's talk Ethics" and "How change happens". I remember picking up a copy of the COE I previously found on the internet and reading it and said to myself "I'm never going to get this stuff", but listening to the "let's talk ethics" audio on TDC and hearing the commentary was a life saver for me. Understanding the COE was very important in passing the exam. I appreciated all the tips - how to study, what to eat/drink, self-care, etc. they were all very helpful. Also, being able to communicate with Emily P. via email for clarification and inquiries was awesome! Thank you, Emily! In addition, I love being in the study group on Facebook. I posted/commented several times when I was struggling and my anxiety was getting the best of me and I have to say, the support that I got from my fellow study partners was AWESOME! I love how everyone was supportive of each other, empowering each other - what a great motivation! With all great things said, I must say I wished TDC had an audio explaining the "macro" piece needed for the exam, I found the quick study alone wasn't enough on this section. In closing, thank you again, TDC! I have already recommended your study system to my fellow colleagues who are planning on taking their LMSW/LCSW exams. I will definitely use TDC when studying for my LCSW exam.
Excellent program. I felt that you were with me throughout the entire process. I especially appreciate your support for veterans !!
