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!

Follow the program -- you will pass!

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!

Passed my first attempt. Study materials are great

Thank you so much, TDC, for your help in passing the CA Law & Ethics exam on my first try. Having only worked in the field outside California, I was anxious about this test, but taking your course gave me the chance to really LEARN and UNDERSTAND (not just memorize) the material. By the time I took the test, I was confident that I knew the material even though I wanted my practice test scores to be higher. On test day, even though I was nervous, I felt a lot steadier and was able to understand the point the questions were getting at. I think that knowing the difference between legal and ethical requirements helped me a lot, because a lot of times the answers to the questions had aspects of both sprinkled in, which made several of the answers seem reasonable. I heard Amanda's voice in my head asking me if they were looking for LEGAL or ETHICAL obligations and that helped me choose. Again, thank you so much for preparing me for what could have been a much more anxiety-provoking experience had I not purchased this course.

TDC prepped me and help me pass my Law & Ethics exam. I followed the advice of when to study and how to study. I didn't allow myself to be discourage when I saw low test scores, I listened to the rationales to help me better understand the reason behind the choice. I highly recommend TDC
