Wow.... thank you thank you thank you TDC!!! Before TDC, I failed the master's exam and felt defeated. It was such a horrible experience. I began studying during the beginning of May, with my test scheduled for the middle of June, approximately 5 weeks of studying and it worked out so well! I loved the audio lectures, the quizzes, practice tests, and mock exams with rationales - it helped me focus on problem-solving and allowed to me think like a critical thinker... I'm a HORRIBLE test taker and wow did this program help me feel CONFIDENT and READY. Also, I loved that I was able to talk to a coach and ask specific questions on subjects that I was having trouble understanding. And guess what, questions relating to those subjects were on the exam and I was so thankful to have had a coach to walk me through step by step... please utilize that part of TDC if you decide to purchase the program.
Now that I have passed the masters level exam, I will be using TDC for the LCSW exam. I cannot thank this program enough. Wow. A game-changer!!! Thank you, TDC!
The TDC prep program introduces the study material in a format that is manageable and equips you with study skills that almost guarantee a passing score on the exam. I will continue to inform others about the TDC website and revisit it for career development opportunities! Thank you!
This is my testimony!! This has been nearly a 20 year journey! I last took LSW exam in 2001. I took the test 2 times and missed them by 6 and 2 points, respectively. I was very broken and swore I would never take it again cause my emotions were wrecked! I was too afraid to take the test again. I am a nervous test taker and was afraid of repeating the same thing.
Then my life changed dramatically in Sept 2019, so I faced my test again. This time I was determined to face this giant and watch my fear go away. I am a Christian and I prayed, praised, worshipped and asked for prayers from my family and friends as I faced this test again. This time I got the TDC program along with another curriculum book. For me, the combination of both materials worked so well together. TDC made all the info make sense and understanding how Amanda thought about each question and how to get to the answer.
I was scheduled to take my LMSW in March 2020, but it was cancelled due to the Coronavirus and my assigned Pearson Vue closed. I was so determined to take it and was heartbroken that it had to be cancelled. I wrote TDC and asked for an extension and it was immediately granted. So, I got back in the saddle and my test was rescheduled for June 12th.
My mom and I went to find the testing site on June 5th- one week before my test and we parked in the 2nd spot. The day of the test I had my quiet time, devotional, prayer, praise time and a great breakfast. I had my recommend banana and juice with me for the snack after question 85. Before I left my home, my mom prayed with me.. The traffic was great! When I got to the site for the test, I got the exact same 2nd spot from the week before!! Everyone at the site was so nice and professional. So, I sat down at my computer and said a prayer and started the test. I wrote down some things to remember- Erickson (I remembered what Amanda said to recall the first word of the each developmental stage), community org, program evaluation and development (which was amazing to learn with TDC), Maslow, Piaget, etc. along with lines from Christian songs and verses from the Bible.
When I ended the test and saw PASS. I started to shaking and was just overjoyed!! I noticed that I needed 100 and got 122 questions correct!! This long post is to be an encouragement to everyone to not give up on a goal or yourself. You can do this!! Involve your family and friends to support and pray. If you are person of faith, keep asking God for help. If you are not a person of faith, keep telling yourself that you will be pass and I promise you it will happen.
Now, as I wait for the Board to review all my paperwork- I plan to begin studying for the Clinical Exam. Until Jan 2021, NJ is allowing candidates to sit for the exam without their hours completed!!
So, this is my new goal. I plan to use the TDC LCSW program. It worked so well for my learning style for my LSW exam. Many thanks to TDC, my family, friends, and the Lord for keeping me strong and helping me to achieve this goal!!
I have previously taken this test twice and missed it by 4 points. I had such huge test anxiety and did not feel prepared at all. I learned about this course and thought I would give it a try since they used different methods for studying other than reading a book. I am so happy I chose to invest in this and I ended up increasing my score 17 points!
I was anxious to take exam because I got my degree 4 years ago, was all set to go and it was rescheduled twice due to Covid. Passed today with over 20 points to spare! Thank TDC for the many extensions and great program :)
I’m really happy I followed this course through to my test date. With all of the uncertainty in 2020, I appreciate how the program approached studying through steps. The more I passed practice tests and quizzes, the more confident I became in my ability to tackle the exam...and that confidence was a huge piece in my passing, that I don’t think I would have had using other study materials on my own.
I found TDC via a LMSW/LCSW Facebook group and used it to help me study for my LMSW exam. I first attempted the exam in 2019 and failed by 2 points. TDC reset my program as I used it to study for my second attempt. I made sure I not only learned the material but processed it so I could apply it in everyday life. I took my second attempt at the LMSW 06/13/20 and passed!
This program was easy to follow and took the anxiety out of testing!! It worked for me and I passed the ASWB Master exam on the first try!!
This was a wonderful course. I am an older student, 56, with a less than a stellar track record taking multiple choice exams. This course gave me the tools to pass the exam. Thank you! Eric LMSW
I started studying with a different study guide and was feeling very overwhelmed with how much information there was. All the information seemed important but I felt like I was drowning in it. I am so thankful that a cohort member of mine suggested your program because it provided me with a framework for what, how, and time needed for studying prior to the exam! I especially appreciated the scheduling component of this program! Being an anxious test taker, I am so thankful for your program. I believe it was incredibly beneficial and contributed to my ability to pass the exam on the first try! Thanks!
