I passed on the 1st try thanks to the study materials.
This program was wonderful! I passed and most of the exam practice questions were very similar to the ones I had on the exam.
110% recommend this study program! From preparing for the test and taking the test, I felt confident in my ability to pass the exam and I followed the guidance from this team.
I passed the LMSW on the first try!! TDC's program was exactly what I needed in order to learn the material and feel prepared to take the exam. This program is great for all different modalities of learning- they have audio, visual, and practice questions based learning so no matter how you learn best, this program will have something for you! I like how comprehensive it was and that TDC focuses equally on the material needed to learn along with the strategies needed to answer questions correctly. I was nervous taking the exam because I haven't taken a test since undergrad, but this program gave me a lot of test confidence. I needed a 98 to pass and got a 119!! I HIGHLY recommend this course if you are taking the exam. It is money well spent!
I thought I would never pass this test, and I felt defeated and incompetent after failing twice. I asked a friend for guidance she advised me to look into the Therapist Development Center (TDC). When I started going through the steps, I knew that it was money well spent and that I had made the correct choice in purchasing it. The Quick studies, quiz yourself, and the unlimited practices testing. This study system helped build my knowledge and test tolerances. I still had test anxiety on my testing date. Still, I felt more confident because I genuinely felt more prepared, thanks to this fantastic prep study program. A special thanks to Shelby Fontaine, LCSW, who always took the time to answer my emails and give me great advice. I also want to thank Amanda Rowan, LCSW, the founder of TDC, for creating a program so well organized and well-thought-out to help people achieve their dreams.

This was a great resource and i felt very much prepared for the exam. I would definitely recommend this to other people!
I am so very thankful for this program! I previously took this exam once before and unfortunately did not pass. This program helped me understand the first/next questions and how to study! I am SO thankful for this program. I passed with flying colors! I have recommended this program to a colleague of mine and will definitely be back for my LCSW Exam! SO SO Thankful to Therapist Development Center!
I was very happy with the program. I felt like it prepared me very well and I was able to pass on the first try with 87%.
I started with this program in the beginning of my journey of becoming licensed, and I can say I am beyond thankful for finding it. I am not sure what I would have done without it. All of the lectures, and quizzes helped prepare me for the exam. The exam felt familiar and I was very comfortable with the questions on the exam as they were structured in the same way that the practize quizzes and mock exams on TDC. I am sure I would have gotten a higher score if I studied for longer. THANK YOU TDC!!! Will definitely be recomming this program to all my collegues planning on taking the exam. I also plan on using TDC for my future LCSW exam.
I am so happy to announce that I finally passed my LMSW exam after two prior attempts. It looks like the third time was the charm, but not without TDC's help! I am still super ecstatic and still in a state of shock. I took my University's two day program, which wasn't that helpful. There was just too much information jam packed into a two day review. With TDC, I feel that I passed because I was able to pause, rewind, and listen to lectures as much as I wanted to, on my own time! If I forgot information on a certain topic, I could easily pull up a quick study to help me relearn the material. You can't rewind a lecture if you do an LMSW exam review live in person, so these recordings worked best for me. I work an hour away from home, so it was nice to listen to the lectures while I drove. I also love how organized the 50 Topics were! I am a person who struggles with organization and I do admit that I can be very scatter brained. Especially since it is hard to study for this big exam while working fulltime with patients that have real life problems. It's hard to turn my brain off! So, it was amazing the way TDC structured the material. It was simple, easy to learn, and straight to the point. I have to say that my favorite part of this program was learning how to differentiate disorders (What's The Difference)!!! The “What's The Difference” worksheets helped me tremendously because it forced me to really learn about several disorders that are similar to others and commonly mixed up. I found it helpful to learn the differences of most disorders in the DSM instead of trying to memorize EVERY disorder in the DSM.
I passed my exam by 7 points, getting 105 out of 98 correct. The first two times I took the exam, I ran out of time because I kept doubting myself. This third time I took the exam (along with the TDC Mock exam), I had an entire hour to spare. This meant a lot because it showed me that I answered questions SO confidently, that I finished the exam early! I didn't waste time stuck on questions or doubting myself. I just did what Amanda taught me to do :) I could not have done this without Amanda and the TDC crew. I can go on and on and on....... so I will end this testimonial with saying THANK YOU TDC and PLEASE BUY THIS PROGRAM IF YOU NEED HELP PASSING YOUR EXAM. Also, NEVER GIVE UP if you fail! Please don't, because this victory feels sweeter than I think it would feel if I passed the first time. I did not let that exam scare or defeat me. I just kept trying and eventually got that "L". That's all that matters!
