Another success for TDC! After 9 weeks of regular study and review, I passed the LMSW exam the first time, correctly answering 30 additional questions above the required minimum (98 required, 128 answered correctly) in 2 hours. I have always done well with organizing information and taking tests, *but* there were still challenges to overcome and TDC's study system helped me to do that.
For example, I was an older MSW student changing careers, and received my MSW in December 2011 at age 54. I have not been working in social work, or my areas of concentration, gerontology or social policy/program evaluation. After attempting to study on my own for a few months I found it difficult to measure progress toward readiness to take the exam.
What the TDC study system for me was to provide a strong focus, relevant information, and a highly effective "package" of materials that helped me identify and close gaps in my knowledge base, build confidence, and measure my progress. By the way, my financial situation has been difficult, but I am pleased with the decision to invest in my new career, and look forward to employment that uses this license. Thank you!
