Thanks for the amazing service that you provide to veterans,
I completed my master's degree program almost 15 years ago and this was the first licensure exam (or any exam!) I've taken since graduating. I knew I would have A LOT of review, as well as new material to learn. After purchasing some ASWB exam prep textbooks and having them sit unopened on my nightstand for several months, I knew I needed to look into other options. I really wanted a reputable review course with audio lessons included. I read through several options online and decided to go with TDC. It made the most sense to me because of the way it focuses primarily on how to approach reason based questions, of which there are so many on the LMSW exam. TDC delivered in every aspect. I think they incorporated the concrete/recall information seamlessly with reasoning type thinking being kept at the forefront. I listened to every audio lesson once through, taking brief notes of things Amanda would highlight as extra important. After doing the practice quizzes and tests once, I returned to the specific areas where I needed remediation and listened to those audio lessons a second time. Then I took each quiz and practice exam again. I felt really prepared for the exam, even 15 years after grad school! I needed to get 98 questions correct to pass my exam and ended up correctly answering 135...I exclusively used the TDC study system leading up to the exam, and it was absolutely comprehensive enough for me to be successful. I would recommend it with no hesitation.
The TDC program really works. I scored 17 points higher than what I needed to pass thanks to TDC’s prep course. I appreciated the structure, study plan, routine, coaching, customer service, the variety of learning styles offered (audio, visual, etc.) and especially the diet/exercise tips, Amanda’s voice in my head during the exam, and that it was ok to still to go out and have fun in between studying. I highly recommend this prep course - it’s truly worth the investment! If you follow the program’s 10 steps, I can see anybody passing with flying colors.
I gained so much information, insight, knowledge, reasoning and problem-solving skills from this program. I appreciated the in-depth explanations and information that helped me work through the questions on the mock quizzes and tests and eventually helped me on the LMSW exam so that I could pass it.

I had about three weeks to study. I followed the steps, studied the quick studies and spent a lot of time reviewing the exams. The program really helped me prepare for the information that was tested and how to take the exam. Highly recommend.
Big 'shout-out' to Amanda and the TDC team members (Heidi, Emily, Nicole & Lynda) that contributed to me passing the LMSW exam today! Of course the lectures, quick studies, quizzes and pep talk were super instrumental in getting me to this point. Many thanks! Rita
I am extremely grateful to have found this program. I used it prior to my exam attempt and I managed to pass on my first attempt! I even scored 22 more points than I needed to have a passing score. The lectures were both comprehensive and interesting, and the quick studies were great for reviewing on the go. I’m relieved and excited to be able to move on to the next steps in my career now that I’m an official LMSW. Thank you!
I took my LMSW exam 9 times since 201`8 and finally passed on the 9th attempt. Each time I missed by 18, 13, 11, 6, 6, 3, 3, and 1. On October 6, 2021 I passed with a 103 and needs 98! I was ecstatic! The first 6 attempts I did not use TDC. However, I did utilize TDC for my last three attempts in which I missed by 3 then 1 then passed! I used TDC as my primary study source and incorporated other YouTube videos on how to break down the questions and also took the ASWB practice exam! I will say the auditory study material was the most helpful for me. I listened to the final prep talk the night before the exam and in the car while I was outside the testing center! I did not study the night before, got a good nights rest, woke up ate a good breakfast, ate some cough drops and went inside and conquered that exam! Thanks TDC!!
As someone who had failed their LMSW exam using another prep course, I was hesitant to invest in yet another program. However, one of my friends had used TDC and passed after she too had used the same previous program. TDC not only covers the important concepts that are on the exam, but what was most helpful for me was the practice questions and having Amanda provide full rationales. Having Amanda walk me through each question and learning ways of thinking to answer the exam questions really helped. I would recommend this program 100x over and will definitely be using it when I am ready to take my LCSW!
This program without a doubt helped me pass my exam on the first try!! It gave me clear instructions on how to study and how to think when it comes to answering exam questions. The program is great for anyone who does well with audio learning, Amanda's recordings really helped me to retain the most important information for the exam. Thank you for helping me pass with flying colors!
