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.

By the grace of God I passed my LMSW exam on the second attempt. I failed after the first and decided to try TDC after so many great reviews and finding it in a SW support group. The way the material was broken down was great!! And I heard the voices of the mentors in my head every step of the way. I would not have gone in with the confidence I did had it not been for TDC. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love the fact that you took a holistic approach to exam prep. This study guide was so organized and well laid out! I LOVED the fact that you provided a "road map to success" so to speak by providing the step by step study guide. I can honestly say that if you provided supervision towards the clinical examination, I would be taking clinical supervision from TDC. Since taking your study course, my reasoning regarding Social Work has changed for the better. Your study guide didn't teach me how to identify the answer only (as in learning to master a standardized test), but helped me to understand the right answer. Priceless and most valuable in becoming a competent Social Worker! I will be seeing you in a couple of years for my Clinical Licensure prep! This $275.00 investment in my future will yield a return over and over again!

TDC was amazing! I graduated a couple years ago and feel like this program refreshed my memory on so many things. It also helped with how to answer questions. I didn’t need to use any acronyms as TDC prepared me well with how to answer questions. This was my first time taking the exam and I was scared after seeing so many people say they failed. TDC was definitely the best choice I made! Well worth it!

I graduated with my masters in 1990 and started working in the school system. Since the school system didn't require me to get my license, I put it off. Once I retired, I wanted to work part time and needed my license. The idea of taking the licensure exam at this point in my life was daunting. I looked on the web and found The Therapist Development Center. Buying the course was the best investment I have ever made professionally!! The lectures were enjoyable and easy to follow and understand. The quick studies were not quick for me, but prepared me for everything I needed to know. The mock exams and quizzes provided a level of confidence I needed at this point in my career. Finally, I found the practice questions on the blog a great avenue to hone in on my weaknesses.
I am so thankful for this program and all the coaches behind the computer screen who helped prepare me for my test. I walked into the testing center with confidence and passed the exam with ease.
I highly recommend this course for everyone who wants a clear path to success. I look forward to working with the Therapist Development Center for continuing education in the future.

I graduated in 2007 and didn’t feel the need to take the exam right after college. (Big Mistake) Despite not being licensed, I was still able to find jobs in my field. I became a military spouse in 2018 and because of the constant moves, I knew I needed to be licensed in order to find employment. I continued to read about TDC in various Facebook study groups and realized it was the best program for me. TDC provided me with a much needed “plan of action.” I highly recommend this program to anyone that needs structure. Despite having graduated over 13 years ago, I passed the Masters ASWB exam on my first attempt. I needed a score of 100 and passed with a 114!!!

This was my third time to take the exam and I passed!! The other times I missed by 2 and 3 points. This time I made 108 and I only needed 98. I have been in shock and so happy! I have used other materials and I have spent alot of money. I do believe this program is the best.
