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.

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.
I passed the LMSW exam on the first attempt using TDC! I went through all of the materials twice over 6 weeks, took notes, and never studied for more than 3 hours in one sitting. I scored 32 points higher than what I needed to pass and felt prepared and confident going into the exam. Highly recommend!
I thoroughly enjoyed the quick studies , practice exams , and rational for each question. The tips for test day was extremely helpful. Taking a break to stretch, use the restroom, have a sip of juice, and breathe was extremely helpful for me. I needed 99 to pass and earned 109. I am grateful for the program, it was worth the investment.
I really enjoyed the way the program is made to break up sessions
I had taken the master's level exam once before and failed by a lot! I took the loss very hard but I realized that I simply was not prepared enough. However, this program was recommended to me by a work colleague and I decided to give it a try. It's definitely worth the investment and I felt it made me a much better clinician overall! The lectures were amazing and the program really helped build my skills, competence, and confidence while out in the field. Thank you TDC for everything! I definitely plan to take another prep course when I go for my LCSW :)
I cannot thank the Therapist Development Center (TDC) enough for providing such a comprehensive and easy-to-use program for success. I will definitely use TDC to study for the LCSW examination and feel fully confident I will pass. The study material is well defined, easy to apply, and presented in such a way that retention is naturally facilitated. Thanks again TDC, I couldn't have done it without you!
