The first time I took the test, I failed. I did a lot of thinking after I failed the test. I decided to take time off from studying. I came to realize that when I took the test the first time, I was really nervous, and I studied really hard (studied for 3 months and just got out of grad school), which I believe overloaded my brain. I have the knowledge; I just needed to know how to take the test. And, I needed to take care of myself. I decided to do this differently for the second test. I did not study for 2 months. I gave myself the chance to enjoy life and to decode everything I learned from grad school. For me, jumping into studying for the LMSW right out of grad school did not work.
The month before the exam, I started to read the code of ethics every day. I listened to lectures every day and made flashcards of the terms and medications. The week before the exam, I did not study at all. The night before the exam, I listened to all of the lectures in fast mode (I loved this feature. One can speed up the lecture). I kept telling myself I am going to pass this test.
During the exam, I kept in mind all of the tips from TDC. For example, if I were stuck on a question, I would eliminate the two choices that I knew were incorrect. Then I would sit back and look at the two choices and think about what would be the best thing to do for the patient at that moment (one of the most valuable tips I learned from TDC). Also, another valuable tip from TDC, how would my supervisor handle the situation. TDC tips really helped me during the exam.
This worked for me but may not work for everyone. The key to passing the exam is to use the TDC study materials and figure out a strategy based on the type of learner you are and if you are mentally prepared to take the test. I will be using TDC to study for my LCSW exam and will recommend TDC to my fellow social worker colleagues.
If it wasn't for all of the study materials through TDC, I would not have passed this exam or gotten through this extremely stressful time successfully. I studied TDC off and on for months before my exam in addition to taking the ASWB Practice test. Passing my exam was one of the best moments of my career and I am so eternally grateful for the TDC program. Thank you for putting together this study material! It works! And I will be recommending to all I know who are graduating soon.
I got TDC in October and passed my test with flying colors on December 1st. This was my third time taking the LMSW exam and I am so happy I found TDC because I know this program helped me pass! Thank you TDC!!
I had no idea where to begin studying for this. I was apart of a Facebook group that recommended TDC and I decided to give it a try. I thank God for TDC. There is no way I would have passed without it! Thank you so much for changing my life and helping me pass!!!
The Therapist Development Center Is a great resource to review the material and to prepare for the exam.
Thank you
OMG!!! I am lost for words right now! I absolutely CANNOT believe that I am writing this testimony to say that I have PASSED the LMSW exam after taking the test 3 times prior to this time. I must say that this program really help me to prepare to PASS this exam today. My favorite part of the program is that there was adequate amount of tests and rationales on why the answer was wrong. That really helped me to understand what answers and responses the test was looking for. All I can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
First time taking this test, and I passed on my 1st attempt. I have to say TDC is best study system out there for the ASWB exam. I absolutely LOVE the fact that the program emphasizes FIRST/NEXT/BEST,and Macro SW questions. In addition, the program really teaches you how to break down the test questionS. The Price is definetely worth it, and I really felt supported (thanks emily) through this process.
The TDC helped me pass my exam. I reviewed the quick studies and the exams multiple times. I was able to remember the information with the help of the audio lectures. I played them as I did everything! I recommenced this program!!!
I passed the LMSW exam on the first try! I learned about TDC through Facebook and was hesitant about investing into the program. So, I decided to do some research on my own. After reading so many positive reviews and successful stories, I made the choice to purchase the program. That was the BEST choice I could have made! As I was testing, I felt confident and prepared. I have already recommended the program to others who are preparing to test. If you are thinking about whether or not TDC is worth the investment, the answer is YES! Thanks TDC for helping me to accomplish my goal!
I took the test about a year ago and missed by one question. I was really anxious to take it again and a friend recommended TDC. I found the format for TDC to be very helpful along with the tests and quizzes. The program helped me to refresh my memory on a lot of important test topics. The recommendation to drink juice before and during breaks was great and gave me an extra boost of energy. I used Amanda's logic while answering the questions and it worked out wonderfully. I needed 100 correct questions to pass and I answered 124 correctly. Thank you so much! I have already recommended the program to others.
