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.
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!
