Thank you TDC for being able to provide the support and break down the context. I am still in disbelief but I am so glad this was my third and final attempt.
I have been out of grad school for 6 years and was extremely nervous about preparing for this exam. I am a mom of a toddler and work full time so I was also worried about having enough time to prepare. The study material provided by TDC was exactly what I needed. it helped me stay organized and stay on track. I would recommend it to anyone. I passed on Saturday!
I was very satisfied with the entire test prep. The combination of audio, quick studies, and quizzes were very helpful! I initially planned to spend a longer time period studying, which I recommend. I felt very rushed and was left with insecurities on test day because of the short time span I had devoted to studying. However, I did pass the exam on the first try thanks to this test prep! I have already recommended it to a couple coworkers, who plan to take the LMSW exam this year. :)
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.
