Social Work Exam Prep Reviews

I PASSED THE LCSW exam on 11/07/16!!!!!!! After purchasing and studying information through TDC my chances of passing the Illinois LCSW test GREATLY IMPROVED. On many occasions I prayed and cried for such a program as TDC as well as a coach attached with it. My prayers were answered: I met Coach Bethany Vanderbilt. She was so very knowledgeable, patient, and provided great advisement. For example, it was determined I required additional testing time and snacks during the exam. I requested 'Special Accommodations' due to being a chronic pain patient and experiencing test anxiety. It was granted and I PASSED!!!! Amanda Rowan provided EXCELLENT rationales for the Top 50 Topics, DSM V, and how to think for such an exam as the LCSW. I especially benefited from the Top 50 Topics narrated by both Amanda Rowan and Bethany Vanderbilt. The quick studies were a big hit too. Those of you who decide to purchase this program will not be disappointed. I've tried other programs, but this by far is the BEST! By profession I coach and train supervisory/case management staff within Child Welfare. I truly believe in the coaching process, it's a valuable tool and great asset within the curriculum. Overall, TDC is one AWESOME program with outstanding and user friendly study tools!!! Forever Grateful!

Impressive system! I loved how TDC and Amanda Rowan are realists and brilliantly capitalize on how to best use long-term and short-term memory to pass- which I did! When I was pressed for time and had too much to juggle, I just followed the basic TDC system, and I passed. However, I saw that if I wanted to go above-and beyond, there were methods for that too, but it wasn't necessary. There are no other systems like TDC. I did overkill and over spending to find that out the hard way. Save yourself from that lesson and get TDC!

I passed my LCSW exam on the first try thanks to TDC! I have been out of grad school since 2003. I don't remember everything I learned in school and at this point we even have a new DSM! I tried studying on my own, but was too overwhelmed. The exam content outline and KSA's at ASWB terrified me! How could I possibly study and know everything on those six pages? I chose TDC because I was inspired by the testimonials and the fact you'd be with me until I passed (which was a valid concern of mine). I listened to every lecture (many more than once), took notes and then made flash cards. A lot of them! The quizzes and tests were great as well. In the end, I scored 114 and needed 101 to pass. I would have liked a higher score, but all that matters is that I passed. I never regretted spending my money on TDC. It was worth every penny. Thank you so much!

I spent 8 months studying, I felt I was clear on terms and recalling information, but still felt anxious about passing the test. As I started the test I was nervous, but after the 5th question I began to relax because the information I obtained from the TDC course was clear on the test. The questions were very similar to the practice test. As I took the test I felt confident and well prepared. I finished the test with still one hour remaining. In the end it was a great experience. Thank you TDC for helping me pass the ASWB exam!!!

With all of life's stressors, I thought the Therapist Development Center study center for the Clinical exam took out the guess work and let me focus on the material. It was set up in a structured way in order to keep me task focused, however, let me determine the time I needed to complete the material. I felt prepared and took my exam today and PASSED! Thank you so much, I will definitely recommend to others!
