Social Work Exam Prep Reviews

Angie Negro, LCSW

I am so excited to be logging on to this site for the last time! I took my Clinical exam for the LCSW yesterday and passed on my 1st try! I would highly recommend the TDC study program for a few reasons: 1) It's concise and organized, which when studying for something this lengthy I would have had a harder time on my own. 2) It's not an overabundance of information which I feel can cause more stress trying to cram everything out there into your brain. Some things on the test were not covered in detail by TDC and some things in the study materials were not on my particular exam, but that's to be expected. You can't plan for everything, but this program covered the most important areas and gave me a good ability to rule out terms I didn't know with the ones I did. 3) The quick tests, mock, and final exams were probably the biggest plus because they helped me get over test anxiety and I knew what it would be like to sit for the actual exam and know I would be fine on time (I finished an hour early on test day). The rationales were also helpful because a bigger portion of the exam is really about knowing order: first, next, best, type scenarios. Thank you TDC for also allowing candidates to extend use of your material which I didn't see with any other study programs. I didn't take my exam when originally anticipated so it was nice to have a little more time to have access to the materials right before I actually was scheduled to take the test. Hope that info helps future LCSW candidates...Best of luck to you all!

Thank you so much, TDC! As a busy mom who works full time, this program was great in that it mapped everything out for me in advance. I waited a long(er) time to get licensed, and your program helped me re-learn the essential content and taught me effective ways to work through the questions instead of feeling flustered when I didn't immediately know the answer to practice questions. I took my test today and passed on the first try. I felt unsure throughout the test, but kept reminding myself that it's normal to feel uncertain on a lot of the questions. I found myself talking through some of the answer options with your voices in my head. The sense of relief was priceless when I saw the word, 'Congratulations!' on my screen. I needed to answer 101 questions correctly to pass, and ended up passing with 132 questions correct! I will definitely recommend your program to colleagues.

It's been a long journey and I'm glad it's finally over. I'm officially licensed (LCSW) as of today. Thank you TDC!!! Thank you for adding those extra quick studies on research, it really came in handy in today's exam. I can't thank your program enough for prepping me for the exam. I would definitely recommend your program to everyone I know who's ready to start studying.

After becoming lost while trying to locate appropriate guides, books, and study materials, I stumbled upon the Therapist Development Center. I am excited to say that after 6 weeks of studying with this program, I passed the LMSW test the 1st time! This program lays out a study program that incorporates multiple learning styles to help you acquire the information needed to pass the test. Everything is here! No need to look anywhere else. I will be using this program again when it comes time for the LCSW test. Thank you so much to the Therapist Development Center. I was nervous, but completely prepared. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Thank you to Amanda Rowan, Bethany Vanderbilt and the whole Therapist Development Center team. I found your study program to be extremely useful and relevant to learning an effective test taking strategy. The top 50 topics lectures were particularly helpful in identifying what to look for in the question's stem to identify the correct answer. I passed on my first try and I couldn’t be happier!
