I took the LCSW exam June of 2015 and did not pass. I think I scored around 94 or 96. I just studied on my own. That was a big mistake. I signed up for TDC last April of 2016 and kept putting off the test because of personal reasons. I decided I needed to get this over with so I began to focus again. I had the test scheduled for August 6, 2016 for noon. I was tempted to reschedule it again but really liked that it was a noon start time instead of 8am. I spent the few weeks before going over and over the audios, taking the test on TDC, and reviewing the ones that I missed. I was surprised to see from the first time I took the Top 50 test that I had improved greatly. I felt much more confident when my scores on the Ethics, Crisis, and others tests on TDC were averaging in the 80%. By the time I took the test, I was able to imagine Amanda right there with me talking out the questions and putting the answers in order. I could actually here her say, 'nope, were not going to do that first' or 'yes, that seems like a good choice and here's why.' I think being able to break down the questions and eliminate or put it in the order of first to last helped me score 121 on the test this time. I cannot thank you enough for staying with me and supporting me through this process. I would definitely recommend TDC to anyone taking the LCSW. I bought other materials and wasted a lot of money. Stick with TDC, stay focused, and do it exactly as Amanda and Bethany tell you and you will pass this test!!!
