LCSW
I purchased a study guide book from Amazon that was written by a social worker. I tried to study here and there for about a month, but for some reason would become extremely overwhelmed reading through the material. I've heard that the LCSW exam was pretty difficult and one of my mentors, who I consider highly intelligent, took several times to pass it. I thought, 'oh no. If she had trouble, I'm in trouble!' After psyching myself out, I happened to come upon a forum about the LCSW in which a few people recommended TDC. I read the testimonials as you are reading mine now and watched the YouTube video which provided a lot of reassurance and hope. I've always thought that I do not learn that well from lectures, however, I found myself benefiting most from the audio lectures. Amanda and Bethany explained things in the most practical way. The DSM-5 lecture was especially helpful as it highlighted the basics of each diagnosis while making it easy to differentiate between them. I dreaded the quizzes and mock exams but they helped me highlight the areas I needed to go back and review. I would say that if you are unsure of what to study, how much to study, and need help organizing, you might want to check out TDC! Good luck to you all!
