I am horrible test taker and English is my second language, german native here. I was worried and doubted my ability to pass on the first try, I did TDCs program three times and passed with flying colors. I prepared myself based on the guidelines in the study prep and it helped me soothe my anxiety. I used other studying book materials before trying TDC but it wasn't helpful, no information was sticking. Anyways, it's a great program!! I can only highly recommend it, especially for those who grow up with a different language.
I came across TDC soon after starting my MSW journey in 2020. I saved the information for future use especially because of the discounts for military and veterans. I am in my last quarter of school and will graduate next month in February. I requested for the military discount after I had my exam date scheduled and heard back within an appropriate time frame. I liked the audio part of the program as I was able to listen to the information while driving. I also liked the anecdotal stories that helped me remember the information. TDC study material was simple and to the point. I purchased another study material which was a physical book and found it was very overwhelming with too much information. The TDC mock exam was very close to and indicative of the ASWB board practice and actual exam. I would definitely recommend TDC to everyone. First time to pass the licensure exam and passed before the conferral of my degree. Thank you to TDC. I will be back for the LCSW Exam.
Hi TDC Family, Today I passed my LMSW! When I first began this road with TDC, I scored a 58% on the Top 50 pretest. I was mortified. Having graduated last May, I knew I wasn't ready to take the exam, so I procrastinated until a recent job offer was contingent upon my successful passing. So, seven weeks ago, I started with another test prep company, which I won't name. But, I quickly realized I would need a different teaching method than just utilizing acronyms. Realizing that I was running out of time, I remembered TDC as a suggestion from my professor. So, I committed to the investment. After my first pass-through of the materials, I scored 64% on the DSM 5 exam, 86% on the Values and Ethics, and 82% on the crisis. Then, I scored a 72% on Mock exam one and a 74% on mock exam two. As outlined by the study plan, I repeated the course, and my scores increased to 86%, 86%, 90%, 90%, and 88%, respectively. I ended the course scoring an 82% on the final mock exam. If you're CONSIDERING purchasing this course, stop it! Just buy the course and be glad that you did. In six weeks, I went from "Questioning my ability to successfully pass the exam to walking into the testing center this morning feeling confident and prepared that I knew the material and was ready to pass!" Thank you so much.
I took the LMSW exam twice and failed by just one point each time—I was devastated. My field supervisor and a fellow veteran colleague both recommended Therapist Development Center. It was the best decision I could have made. The program gave me the information, strategies, and confidence I needed to finally pass my LMSW exam. I also discovered that I’m an audio learner, which made a big difference in how I studied. Thank you, Amanda!
Completing this board was a journey and not easy. As a mental health provider it's critical we have the skills and training to better ourselves and our clients. TDC provided me with great resources that enhanced my knowledge and PASS this board. Thank you!
Thank you TDC this course was amazing and I owe my passing score to your program!! I took many other programs before but TDC has by far been the best !!!
I would truly recommend this course to anyone and everyone!!!
TDC really helped me understand the concepts of social work. Everything was very detailed and it was easy to understand the material. I really enjoyed the audios I was able to listen to them as I was driving and working out. I also enjoyed the quick studies that made the information stick better. The mock tests reflected how well I was going to do on the exam and that helped me as well. Thank you for the tip about eating a banana and drinking orange juice during the break. That advice was so helpful and it prepared my brain for the second half of the exam.
I am so grateful for TDC! I felt very prepared going into the exam, and I left the exam grateful that I had used this study resource.
Yes, this program saved me. I thrive in structure and direction, and this program hit the mark perfectly. I LOVED the verbal discussions, the QUICK study guides, the quizzes, the tips on how to study and how to PREP for the exam. (I actually took the break because you brought up the brain being tired - I had never heard that before). I loved the schedule to breakdown the course. IT WAS PERFECT and the price - THANK YOU for being so reasonable and so accessible. Thank you for creating such a great structured program! Thank you!!! I PASSED!!!!!!
