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 passed on the first try! I loved how TDC not only shared material, but factored in environmentally how you should go about the test. As someone with severe test anxiety, that component really helped. I will definitely be using TDC for my LCSW!

I felt that TDC’s program thoroughly prepared me not only for the LMSW exam, but also for clinical practice as a whole. I learned so much throughout the course and was very happy with how I performed on the exam. TDC was the only study resource I used, and I passed on my first attempt! With a flexible schedule, I was able to complete the course and review in a little over three weeks. I really appreciated the structure of the program while still having the flexibility to move through the material at my own pace.

Excellent course material, lectures, explanations. User friendly, super helpful framing to apply and prepare. I completed everything well under three weeks (two active weeks) with a baby and child at home, so thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a historically anxious and poor test taker. I knew I needed a structured program to prepare for this exam. TDC was just that and kept me accountable as I moved through the course. I was able to go in prepared and conquer my anxiety :)

Thank you for this course and for truly teaching me how to digest, process, and understand information. It showed me how to think more critically and look deeper into what I’m learning instead of just accepting information at face value. I feel wiser, more confident in my knowledge, and better prepared to apply what I have learned. I not only know the material, but feel I was able to apply it, all thanks to the TDC.

This was my second time taking the exam. The first time I used only pocket prep to study and thought I was ready and the exam quickly humbled me because the questions and structure of the exam was way different from what I experienced with pocket prep.
I am grateful to TDC. It teaches you how to tackle the questions, read through the questions and understand what they are asking for.

The Therapist Development Center was an invaluable part of my exam preparation. The program broke down difficult concepts into easy-to-understand lessons, provided practical strategies for answering exam questions, and helped me build confidence every step of the way. The practice questions and rationales taught me how to think critically rather than just memorize information. Therapist Development Center played a major role in helping me pass my LMSW exam. I highly recommend this program to anyone preparing for the social work licensing exam. I will be using this program to prepare for my LCSW exam. Thank you for creating such an effective and supportive resource!
