I failed the exam the first time. I was extremely disappointed. TDC was a life saver. I enjoyed the audio lectures and the online access. I will be using this program for my LCSW exam. If you suffer from test anxiety this is a great program because they are with you until you pass.
This program did a great job of breaking down the information and organizing it in a way that I could methodically study. I really enjoyed the combination of lectures, quizzes, study sheets, and practice tests. I felt prepared going into the test and it worked! I passed with a score well above passing.
TDC was great in that it gave me structure when I was struggling to come up with an action plan for studying. I loved that it included a schedule/timeline, audio recording, the quick studies, quizzes, and mock exams! All of it really helped me process the information.
TDC was the perfect study system for me. The mix of audios, quick studies, and mock exams really helped me pass my exam. I would highly recommend TDC to any one preparing to take their exam. I also plan to use TDC in the future for my LCSW.
This was my second time taking the LMSW exam and I am so happy I found this program! I passed and got 6 points over the requirement needed. You all did such an amazing job breaking down the topics through the audio files, practice tests, quizzes and quick studies. Also, the exam has a lot of questions related to ethics and the ethics audio gave a detailed explanation of what to look for and how to approach each question. Lastly, learning how to break down each question is very important. The first workshop on how to think for the test was helpful. Overall, this program helped me tremendously and I would recommend this to others preparing to take the exam.
I passed ! needed 107 ..got 100!
I grew up in a house with a social worker mom, who loved to talk about theories and evidence based practices, as well as having been a CPS worker for 8 years before deciding to go for my MSW, I found most of grad school to be a breeze. I still had to work, and still learned a lot, but there was very little I found stressful about obtaining a Master's because of my background.
However, I was told the LSW exam was no joke, and after taking several practice exams, it became clear that I could not just coast on my experience and in-school learning to guarantee I would pass. TDC really helped me laser focus down what I needed to be studying, and how I needed to think about this test. Even after being pretty diligent (I'm notorious for procrastinating) in studying for this test, even as I sat down to take the exam, it was pretty clear that there is almost no way I would have been able to pass this without the material TDC provided.
I don't mean to make the LSW Master's Level exam seem like some insurmountable obstacle, but this is a test you NEED to study for. With the TDC material, that studying becomes far more manageable, and you get great insight into what the test is looking for. Rest assured, if you follow this program diligently, you will have one of the best tools possible to knock it out of the park.
I had taken the licensing exam prior and did not pass. Through the Therapist Development Center and their study material, I felt confident going into my exam. Their approach hits on the varying types of learning styles that aided in my confidence in reviewing social work material. On questions where I was unsure on how to answer, I broke down the response by acting like Amanda was taking the test with me. This approach greatly aided me on how to best respond regarding the questions that stumped me. So thankful to have found this review material! Thanks a bunch TDC!
OMG I did it and not without your help. The past 4 failed exams I did not prepare at all bcs i had no clue what to study, I was clueless as to how to think and answer questions and with TDC I literally got the "aha" moment throughout the entire study. Previously I did the boot camp and attempted to follow it but did not get it at all and therefore failed. TDC broke down each section, with quick studies, exams and audio studies. i love Amanda's calm voice and literally everything she said stuck to me instantly. I now know i am both auditory and visual learner and I must have both available. I thank you TDC from the bottom of my heart for creating this program and for helping me PASS. I will see you again when I start to prep for my LCSW.
This course did an excellent job of covering the various topics on the exam. The course helped to not only teach me the material I needed to learn and review but also build my confidence going into the exam. I will definitely be using this course for my LCSW exam next year.
