I'm a social worker at the Department of Veterans Affairs so I can hold an out of state license even though I reside in California. I took the National SW exam twice and failed using other programs. I had too much information, didn't know where to start and could not grasp any of the material. With TDC I actually felt like i learned the material, was able to make sense and apply it after having listened to the TDC lectures and writing the informaiton on the handouts. I listened the lectures over a couple of months but 2 weeks prior to the test I honed in and relistened and relistened, took more notes, practice tests and memorized concepts I couldn't grasp. This worked for me becuase I know I have always been a crammer and that is my best learning style when it comes to test taking. I literally could hear Amanda's voice in the test. I didn't do very well on the final mock exam but I realize that I didn't treat it like a real exam, I was distracted at home, not reading questions word for word and finished with over an hour left. I took my time with the real exam, read word for word and went into the exam like I owned it! I felt confident going in versus other times when I had such high anxiety. Now onto the Clinical Vignette portion! Thank you TDC!
