This prep course is excellent. I felt more confident about the exam as soon as I listened to the first module! I listened to all the modules three times each. I took all of the quizzes one time each, as well as the mock exams. I took the first mock exam after listening to everything one time, and I got 66%. That scared me, so I went back and listened to everything two more times. I also felt a little nervous about whether or not the mock exams truly matched the ASWB test, so I purchased the ASWB practice exam as well. I took that exam after I had listened to everything three times. I also reviewed the quick studies and the Code of Ethics many times. I felt great when I took the practice exam. I felt prepared, and I could hear Amanda's voice playing in my head responding to the questions as I marked my answers. I passed the practice exam, and then I felt confident about the real exam. On exam day, I had a few hurdles that occurred. The worst one was that I lost power in my house that morning, so I was unable to shower and unable to eat breakfast at home that morning before I left for the exam. I found the exam to be incredibly difficult! I felt insecure about 90% of my answers. I took a break at the midway point, not to eat anything since I did not dare even ask permission for that, but to stretch, grab some water, and just clear my head. The break helped me a lot even though it was only for a minute. I had marked approximately 7 questions for review. When I reviewed them, I changed my answers to two of them. I finished the test in three hours, and then I got the message that I passed! I needed to get 98 correct to pass, and I got 122 correct. I will definitely use this program to prepare for the clinical exam when the time comes. I have also been recommending this to co-workers. Thank you!
I want to thank everybodies involvement in being a part of my successful "one shot and done" completion of the masters level ASWB examination in the state of Texas. Your study program made this accomplishment possible. Thank you for the extensions that supported my success. I am a resident of Texas City in Galveston County and we have had our fair share of community crisis over the last year. As a mental health crisis worker and liaison at Galveston County Jail, I have been instrumental in the follow up of Hurricane Harvey and the Santa Fe shooting at the high school. Outside of my job requirements, I am a coach and head of delegation for a Special Olympics program, a volunteer for Big Brothers and Big Sisters and a volunteer for the Military Veterans Peer Network. It seemed like I would never find time to study for the exam and that weighed on my mind everyday. My unorthodox approach to studying entailed taking a week of personal leave from my employer and studying everyday for 5 to 7 hours. I cannot explain the amount of frustration and sense of urgency that supported my decision to complete the exam. Y'all, "yes," in Texas we use y'all, know what that feels like. I completed the exam on the last day approved by the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners. Talk about putting all of your Easter eggs in one basket. When I sat down at the computer to take the test, the amount of retained knowledge collected and methods of understanding test questions flowed through me like a Jedi using the Force. I completed the test in 2 hours and 22 minutes. Once again, I cannot express enough on how instrumental your study program was in my success. I have two coworkers that are current in school getting their masters in social work. They are aware of my success with your study program and will be in touch.
I would like to thank Heidi so much. The TDC stands true to their word, they’re with you every step of the way! I’ve been out of school for 7 years took the exam 2x, the first time I missed it by 1 point. The second time I passed it by over 8 points. I highly recommend this program.
I can not thank TDC enough for giving me the confidence and skill set needed to take the LMSW exam and pass! Continue your fantastic work!!
I am so incredibly grateful for TDC! I have never felt more prepared to take an exam in my life. Not only prepared, but confident as well. TDC prepared me to pass the exam on my first attempt. I am grateful for Heidi responding to emails quickly and always making sense of things I was confused on. I am also grateful for Amanda! Anytime I got stuck on a question, I could hear Amanda breaking the question down. Thank you TDC!!!!
TDC was by the far the best program I have invested in. I followed the study plan and did exactly what Amanda recommended. I was not anxious or overconfident. I knew the material, but the way to read and answer the questions were key because I'm a terrible test taker. The strategies and techniques worked. This is a huge relief lifted off of my shoulders and I have to thank TDC and God of course. Thank you TDC, your program ROCKS!
TDC is certainly a great program and I would recommend it to anyone! The audio workshops, numerous quizzes/exams and quick studies were all helpful to me. I had the audio workshops on repeat! I tried other study methods/materials but they didn't work for me. I realized that I retain information better when it's given in increments rather than cramming in one lengthy study session. TDC allowed me to go at my own pace. The material was well organized and easy to understand! I'm happy to say that TDC worked for me!
I had already taken the LCSW exam & passed, but due to state statutes, had to take the LMSW exam as well. Both times, I used TDC which offered the type of structure I needed to study effectively. There is so much information related to social work that it can be difficult to determine how much time you need to spend where. TDC offers great information on what is needed to know, but also (and I feel most importantly) on how to break down the questions so you know what is being asked & how to consider the answers. I would highly recommend this program to anyone needing to take these exams. The coaches were also very nice & prompt with responses. :)
I used this program for the Clinical and Master's level exams and passed both on my first tries. It is an excellent program for people who don't consider themselves good at test-taking. It is well organized and makes the test easier to understand.
I wholly recommend the TDC system for the LMSW exam! The course content and delivery of information in an organized manner is incredibly helpful, especially that you are able to track your progress through a series of pre/post knowledge examinations. I am also very appreciative of the services offer by TDC for social workers who are Veterans.
