I had a lot of anxiety about this exam and put off taking it. I recently got a new job in a clinical setting. The job offer came with the contingency that I had to get my LMSW within a certain amount of time. I dedicated 5 weeks to studying - your program was the primary resource that I used and I am so thankful that one of my friends recommended it. Thank you for helping me prepare to get my license and pass on my first attempt!
I would not have passed the ASWB Masters Exam without the help of TDC. I literally cried tears of joy when PASS showed up on the screen. I had taken the exam one time before and failed by 3 points. The structure of the this program truly made studying manageable. I went into the exam feeling prepared which made a huge difference in my performance. Thank you so much to the whole TDC team!
I was very nervous for the exam. I heard about this program from a couple of coworkers and they stated it was very beneficial. I looked into it and the price did concern me at first but my coworkers stated it was worth it. Let me tell you..IT IS. This was the only thing I used and I found the lectures to be extremely helpful on how I needed to interrupt the question, Yes, it is expensive but you get your money's worth.
I would highly recommend this program! I passed on my first attempt with the LMSW exam. I needed 98 questions correct to pass and I got 121 questions right! This program does a great job not only sharing needed information, but also explaining how to best approach the questions. I was very prepared and knew I would pass throughout taking the exam. That confidence is priceless!
I invested 250$ in an LMSW prep course that after taking It I didn't feel that I learned anything nor was ready to take the actual examination. Investing in TDC allowed me to fully understand what the test wants you to know and how to answer the questions. Although I struggled with the FIRST and Next questions, when I reached out to TDC coaches they gave me strategies that I could utilize when working through the question. I am proud to say that I passed my LMSW examination on the first attempt. I will be utilizing TDC for my LCSW
I have used other well known program. But the TDC for me was very helpful, it allowed me to understand how to tackle some questions, how to use the knowledge I have to answer questions. How to reason like a professional (which I was already). Most Importantly to keep my life (Family, Work, Self-Care, Exercise) in balance. I would recommend this program.
I struggled with multiple study programs prior to finding Therapist Development Center. TDC is a really realistic test prep option for anyone, but especially a working professional. I feel it covers important material without inundating the learner with an amount of information that's impossible to retain. I have ADHD, and the other two test prep programs I tried felt insurmountable to learn and comprehend. I felt very confident on exam day, and passed my exam quickly and with ease! I 100% recommend TDC to anyone!
I studied non-stop for 6 weeks using your program. I also explored another common program that completely overwhelmed me. I only spent a week looking at it before I realized it was not helping me at all only hurting my confidence. I took the ASWB paid pre-test simulation ( cost $85) and your mock test. They were extremely helpful in giving me an idea of what the test would be like (time-wise and preparing not to eat, drink, stay in one place and having to wear a mask, etc). Of course, when I actually took the test the test content given to me had maybe 5 straight memorization questions and the rest was ALL a process of elimination scenario macro and community type questions. There was also a bunch of research and terminology questions. Some were first and next but a lot were worded differently than the prep tests. Regardless, I could hear Amanda in my head saying, well this one doesn't work because of this, this and this. Half way through the test I thought for sure I was failing but I stuck to your plan/adise to the tee. You need to warn everyone that when you press that last button to end the test, they present you with a non-optional stupid survey as if you could even stand answering one more question!!! Then finally with your heart pounding in your throat you get your results, I passed by 17 points.
For audio learners, the TDC program is the best program and it was invaluable in the process of figuring out how to prioritize the correct answer to the question even if you do not know the right answer. There were so many questions that I really didn't know but I was able to figure them out by doing the steps that you teach. I am so glad that I do not have to take it again. It was brutal. I took my RN boards in 1991 and it was really hard but it was very objective. The ASWB boards are very subjective with some facts but really requirors a lot of test taking skills and abstract thinking.
Sincerely,

Thanks to TDC I felt very confident in my ability to pass the exam and therefore experienced less anxiety.
TDC was very accommodating. They continued my requests for extensions, as I had initially was scheduled to take the exam during the early stages of the pandemic. My coach always got back to me within 24/48 hours. I found TDC's support to be invaluable.
