I needed 99 to pass -- I got 120. In grad school, I was on the policy/macro track, so I took only one intro course on therapy/micro. To prepare for the LMSW exam, I had to learn 85% of the terms for the first time before I could even start to look at exam prep questions - so I was a bit behind. Listening to "Professor Amanda" over and over put me on level with my fellow social workers who focus on the individual side of therapy and gave my the confidence I needed to pass.

HIGHLY recommend! I absolutely loved this course! I ordered the book and study materials but didn't feel like it was enough. Luckily, I found TDC online and after reading the reviews decided it would be a good idea. It wasn't a good idea, it was a great idea! I passed the exam on my first try and learned more about the other areas of social work that I didn't study in grad school so it was a great refresher altogether.

TDC is the main reason I passed my LGSW exam!!! Amanda is absolutely AMAZING and I cannot thank her enough for sharing her knowledge and expertise with the social work world!! As soon as I passed my exam, I thought to myself, "I really wish I could call up Amanda and tell her about my test!!" Thank you again and I have already told my supervisor about this program and asked him to recommend it to any employees that have not taken their exam!!

I had such a great experience with the Therapist Development Center study system and materials when preparing to take the LMSW exam. The lecture recordings are a decent length and always stay on topic. Compared to other videos I’ve watched online, TDC gets right to the point and doesn’t give unnecessary information that will confuse you or make you feel overwhelmed. If you need to contact them with questions they always respond in a timely manner and with great care. Because of TDC, I passed the LMSW exam on my first try! I only needed to get 99 questions correct to pass and I got 119 correct! I feel I owe it all to this program! You can count on me coming back when it’s time for me to test for my LCSW in a few years!

TDC really taught me how to think. One of the most helpful sections was the DSM What's The Difference. It helped me learn a lot about the DSM5. I highly recommend this program. I would have done even better on my exam if I had put more time into it and followed it the recommended way.

Thank you so much for this program. Ms. Emily thank you so much for the encouragement. I truly was unsure about this test. I practiced and listened to the audio a lot. I’m truly grateful for your program. I passed and I thank God for that and you TDC family.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I honestly never thought I would be able to pass this test. It was so tricky and being that I failed the first time, I was completely discouraged. Not only did I pass my second time after using TDC, but I passed by 15 points! I can’t adequately express my gratitude for all your help! Worth every penny!

Very structured and organized. Provided great information as well as much needed advice. Thanks for the pep talk and TDC!

I had previously taken another test prep in order to pass my CA Law and Ethics exam and could not pass the exam with a passing score. I moved to a new state and had to take the LMSW ACSWB exam. I chose Therapist Development Center due to great reviews from my co workers. I am happy to say that I passed on my first attempt! The material covered by TDC is much more thorough and the audio sessions are so helpful because you can take the thought process into the exam and play it back in your head to help rationalize your answers. I will invest in using TDC again in the future for my LCSW exam!

Ever since I was a child, I struggled with national exams. This course is very thorough, and if you work through the lessons, you will be well prepared. I passed with my first try. I found the mock exams very helpful. When I reached out to the coach, she replied in-depth and with care and gave more strategies to use in preparing. I learned about course through the recommendation of NASW members.
