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 .

Robin and Amanda are awesome coaches. Email communication with Robin was especially helpful when further dissection and nuanced rationales were needed to understand missed questions. The final mock exams were challenging, but that's good because when I took the real exam it felt easier by contrast. I was sufficiently confident at the end that I did not bother reviewing the flagged questions (not that I recommend that strategy). I immediately submitted and passed. Thanks again

When it comes to any state test I experience severe anxiety, which has been my nemesis when preparing for tests or taking practice tests. I did the 2 month study plan, which allowed me to take my time. I have to say that I appreciate Robin for being my coach because all my questions were anxiety driven however, her patience and tips helped me TONS. I reread her tips up until I had to take my exam. They were a little different than the ones on the managing tips article, which helped because it felt as if they were unique to my situation. I have to say that the material is pretty on point with the actual test. I followed the schedule and made a plan that worked with my schedule, it's important to really follow the program and apply the tools every step of the way. I hit a point where I literally took the 3 practice exams back-to-back because I was focused on a seeing a certain score, which I regret. I recommend if you score low on the 1st practice exam, take a break, review it thoroughly and really try to understand why you got the questions wrong before taking the next practice exam. I honestly scored pretty low in all exams and not because the exam was hard it was because I was in another mindset with my own expectations. I did postpone my test once because I didn't feel ready at all. I had to mentally snap out of wanting to see a certain score in any of the programs practice tests and focus on applying strategies to understand why I would miss questions. Once I found my strategies and rhythm I was able to apply those during the last mock exam and I did fairly well, which boosted my confidence for the actual test. To all my fellow colleagues that experience high anxiety, take a lot of mental breathers, use positive affirmations, if you feel like giving up that's okay take a break, and remember to breakdown sentence by sentence to understand the stem. Lastly, the day of my exam, I wrote notes on my scratch paper for me to keep in mind and I wrote a nice positive affirmation to remember that I was going to pass. This was my process and I hope this helps others.

Excellent study material. Had the chance to study while working and taking care of my children during the pandemic. The delivery and timeline fit perfectly for my busy schedule during the week.

I am so glad that I took this course to study the LCSW California Law and Ethics Exam. Without it, I wouldn't have known where to begin. I appreciate how organized and straight forward the program is and how I was able to stay on track throughout my study process. This course made my goal of passing on the first try possible. I'm sure I would have not passed without this program. Thank you! Thank you!

I was very nervous to take the Law and Ethics exam. After completing the test prep program with Therapist Development Center, I felt prepared and ready to conquer the exam questions. The pre-recordings and rationales thoroughly cover the material you need to know to pass the exam and the practice tests are an accurate representation of what the actual exam questions look like. Plus, Robin was super supportive and always got back to me in a timely manner whenever I reached out for a little extra help. I definitely recommend taking this course. Not only did it help me pass the exam, but it has made me a more seasoned and knowledgeable social worker. I will be back for the clinical!

I previously took the LMSW course to take the Oregon licensing exam, which I passed, so it was a no-brainer to use TDC for the California Law and ethics exam. I passed that, as well! I have not practiced in several years, so I began this process worried about having a huge relearning curve. Still, TDC presented all the information needed in a concise, easily digestible, and organized format. Thank you for making it possible to get my ACSW license reinstated after so many years!
