I took the written exam and did not pass the first time. I was really bummed out and signed up for the Law & Ethics exam. I studied for about a month and a half, twice a week for about an hour and a half. I also listened to the audio almost daily when I drove around the city for about a month. I'm happy to have passed this exam on the first try!!! I think TDC was the way to go...I've tried other popular ones but feel TDC was more thorough and just easier to understand. Thank you TDC!!! I'm ready to study for the next one and become an LCSW.
