Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I passed my LCSW exam on the first try today using TDC! I was pressed for time and worried that 2 months was too short of a time to prepare. I started a new full time job at the beginning of my studies too so I really felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. I took a NASW prep course and also had a few other books I was using at first, but I eventually did away with those guides and only used TDC materials. I followed the study plan laid out with this program and stay committed. Everything was outlined already, which took the guess work out of what to focus on and eliminated a lot of my anxiety. I had two conversations with Bethany closer to my test date and felt really confident with the support and guidance she provided me. I felt the mock exams and practice tests were the most helpful! I took a break halfway through just as recommended. I couldn't get an accommodation but contacted my test center and was able to bring in cough drops for an extra blood sugar boost at Bethany's suggestion. All of these suggestions helped and I will definitely recommend this program to others in the profession. Thanks TDC!
I was very nervous about taking the exam. I was very close on the mock exam but I missed it by only a couple of points. When I looked at the questions that I missed, I could see how I was overthinking everything. I remembered all of the advice that Amanda gave me and I felt very prepared. The best advice that Amanda gave was to look at each question as if I was either with these clients or I was supervising them. The advice on how how to answer questions like what to do 'first' or 'next' was quite helpful as well. I am so relieved and excited. TDC gave me everything I needed and more!!
I can't even begin to tell you how incredibly helpful this program was. The materials, tests, encouragement and testing tips really reduced my anxiety and made me feel more confident. I really felt like your voice was in the back of my head while guiding my decisions. This is a great program and I thank you for all the work you put into making this available.
Yay! I passed the exam! I had taken the exam 3 times over 9 years ago. My study habits were terrible. I didn't know what to study, so I studied everything. My entire kitchen table was covered with college notes and text books. I even took a 2 day course with additional textbook materials to review. After my last failed exam I was so discouraged about my 3 fails that I walked away from my dream of becoming a LICSW, until a year ago. I had made some job changes, my daughter turned 8 years old and the desire to become a LICSW became stronger. So I downloaded an app to help me study. After a few months of using the app I felt defeated. It wasn't helping me. My supervisor saw an ad in the NASW about TDC. So I inquired. I spoke to Bethany on the phone about my goals and struggles in passing the exam. I couldn't believe I was talking to a person who understood me and wanted to help. It took me another month to sign up as I was a bit apprehensive. It's the best online course! TDC maps out the course for you. Amanda tells you how to study, what to study and when to study. I needed direction and structure and oh I got it!!! Plus a coach! Yep, Bethany was available to answer my questions by email, text and phone. I had the support of TDC, along with my friends and family. Here is the moral of the story. Never give up on your dreams. And take this course because it will help you pass!!
I was licensed in California in 2010 using other study programs. I had to take the ASWB Exam to receive my license in Virginia, and used your program to refresh and prepare for the national exam. The Therapist Development Center surpassed the programs I had previously used. I felt very prepared and knowledgeable entering the exam. Thank you!
