LCSW
Taking the LCSW has been a long journey for me. I started in February 2015 studying for the California standard exam using TDC. At this time my confidence was low. I studied for too long and I ended up failing by 1 point in June 2015. This was due to me taking too long to answer questions and not even finishing the exam. I had 10 more questions to answer. Due to California changing from the standard written to the National ASWB exam and the 6 month re-examination wait, I had to prepare to study for the new Law and Ethics and National ASWB exam. TDC was very gracious and provided me with new study materials at no charge because they understood that the time line was out of my hands. On top of all of this, I moved to NY state in 2016. This year I am proud to say that I passed the CA law and ethics exam in March, ASWB's masters exam for NY in June, and CA Clinical exam in September. TDC's program was extremely helpful and concise. I can now say I am an LMSW in NY and LCSW in CA.
