Although I felt very prepared to take the exam, anxiety began to get the best of me a week leading into it. I especially began doubting myself after taking Final Exam I because I received a 60%. I even thought about rescheduling it, which I'm glad I did not! Instead, I decided to schedule a coaching appointment with Asya four days before my exam, which I found helpful. In addition to reviewing some of the vignettes, she ended the call by acknowledging that she could tell I was anxious and reminded me on the importance of grounding myself. On the day of my exam, I was very nervous and woke up with a bad headache, so I took Asya's advice on grounding very seriously and I did just that. I reminded myself, I knew what I knew at that point and to just do the best I can. Once I began the test, I was amazed that the questions were not only similar but not as complex as the ones by TDC. There was a moment where I did get a few complex questions, and I began to doubt myself, but I answered those and flagged them. The final recording by Amanda was so helpful on reminding me to keep moving on answering the vignettes and not get stuck, instead flag those and only change the answers if I had an "Aha moment." It seemed like I had flagged several vignettes but with 10 minutes left of the test, I realized I had only flagged five. I only had one Aha moment so I changed one answer, but left the others alone. The TDC program really prepares you, if I can do it, you can too!

I cannot say enough good things about TDC law and ethics program for social workers. I feel that the program prepared me extremely well for what was covered on the exam. I look forward to using TDC again when it comes time to study for my clinical exam. The company was also very accommodating with extensions, as my test was delayed due to the global pandemic.
Thank you to everyone at TDC for this program.

I can't say thank you enough to The Therapist Development Center for helping me prepare for the California Law and Ethics Examination! With all the tasks I juggle in my life, I needed this program to keep me focused and grounded. After I passed the exam (Yay!), I realized that the program more than prepared me for the exam and I appreciated that. I will be back for my Clinical exam and will highly recommend TDC!
Ps) Amanda, I did take you into the exam with me, lol! Thank you for the guidance!

This program was fantastic! I loved the variety of methods the program utilized to relay information. I found it helpful to take notes of my own while listening to recordings, in addition to printing the materials provided and reviewing them. The lectures were very clear and thorough and I felt well-prepared for the exam. The exam even felt a little easier than the practice tests, which was quite the relief to discover on test day!

I allocated study time according to their study guide. The audio rationales and practice exams were helpful for me as I have struggled with test-taking before. This study guide is highly recommended to anyone that is looking for a guide to better prepare for this exam.

TDC truly prepared me to pass the LCSW Law & Ethics exam. I cannot emphasize how much investing in this prep course made me feel not only more confident and but also more competent as a new associate. I followed the exam schedule closely over the course of 7 weeks and felt very relaxed on exam day. I really appreciated the variety of challenging scenarios that tested my knowledge and comfort level. I plan to use TDC for my clinical social work exam in a few years!

When it comes to multiple-choice tests, I often freeze up and become very anxious. Two of my colleagues, whom I consider amazing therapists did not pass the exam the first time, so I was very nervous. They did not use TDC. I researched other programs and decided on TDC after speaking to someone who used the program and DID pass the first time. The program not only prepared me for the exam but I feel taught me important things about being a good therapist. The content is thorough and the strategies like, reading aloud the stem and paying attention to what the question is asking, and narrowing down answers through elimination, were all super helpful. Also not getting stuck in the mud and remembering to move on, tracking your time during the exam, and taking breaths between difficult questions were all strategies I used that help me get through. The coaches were attentive and always available. I had an individual session with one of the coaches, Asya, and she was amazing. She was able to highlight where I was getting stuck and gave me strategies for studying and on exam day. I highly recommend this program.

Thank you TDC. I would not be able to pass this exam without your clear explanations, breaking down questions, and to manage my anxiety. Thank You

TDC is an amazing program! I am a nervous test taker, and typically get so anxious on test day! However, I felt so confident taking the Law and Ethics exam. In fact, personally the mock exams in the TDC was even harder then the actual exam! There were moments of uncertainty in the exam, but I pinpointed those questions down to be the experimental ones. I highly recommended using this program- everything covered on this program is on the exam. There will be no surprises on exam day if you use TDC. I will be telling all my coworkers about TDC and will be back when taking my LCSW exam! Thank you TDC!

I had a lot of anxiety during my test preparation. TDC's material helped me break down topics in understandable ways by utilizing multiple ways in the delivery of information. I loved reading the material and then listening to Amanda elaborate on it. I listened to her in the car, while walking, and even in Costco! Even so, I failed the mock exams. Asya, a TDC coach, reached out helping to calm my anxiety. Prior to the exam, I used the scratch pad to write down as many important quick facts which I thought may be helpful as well as few positive affirmations. During the exam, I listened for Amanda's reasoning on the difficult questions. Thank God, I passed. I highly recommend TDC for anyone needing to prepare for the CA Law and Ethics exam. Thank you TDC .
