I just passed the CA LCSW exam and I know that the test prep materials from The Therapist Development Center helped me get here! I am lucky to have had job experiences that gave me varied real world training so that I knew I had a good knowledge base. But TDC was the only prep company that gave me the strategies I needed to pass both tests. After purchasing AATBS materials and using them for a few weeks I knew that something was wrong and that there was no way that the test was this complicated. I also was introduced to Gerry Grossman's materials and test banks and felt the same. AATBS and Grossman contradicted themselves in their approaches to answers. I started to feel more anxious and overwhelmed about the test while I was studying than I had prior to studying. This led me to do a web search where I found TDC. Right away the strategies and approach made logical sense so I made the purchase.
I have recommended TDC to more than one friend and each as passed their tests as well (both MSWs and MFTs). I highly recommend!
