Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I read two ethics books prior to taking the exam the first time & failed. Thankfully a friend recommended this program to me afterward and it was completely worth the money. They give you the ability to study the material in a variety of ways (audio, printable study sheets, mock exams) and they're up to date on the latest changes with the BBS. Before I bought this program, I felt like I was doing a research project to determine what was going to be covered on the test and then finding outdated information. TDC took the research away and I was able to just focus on understanding the material. The program actually helps you learn the concepts rather than just memorizing things and I actually find myself applying what I've learned on the job. I'll be buying the next study packet for the clinical exam!
I absolutely LOVEDDDD the Top 50 Topics and the various audio files. I started studying an hour a day in May 2016 and my test was on August 5, 2016. For the last month and a half until my test, I listened to the Top 50 Topics and the various audio files the whole time. I didnt listen to anything else or even watch TV. I appreciated the reasoning that Therapist Development Center provided and after taking other companies where they relied on the acronyms or other 'tricks' to remember, it was Therapist Development Center with the emphasis on reasoning and rationalizing that was truly helpful and lowered any anxiety as I prepared for the test. Also I appreciated the structured aspect of the program which lowered the pressure of trying to study everything and all subjects.
Though I enjoyed the program during the study phase in preparing for the exam, it was only once I actually took the exam that I was able to appreciate how well prepared I was to grapple with the rationales required to understand the exam questions. The final mock exams reflected the actual exam quite closely, which alleviated my stress level during the exam. Thank you for the ongoing support and the awesome preparation for licensing exams!
TDC is the perfect blend of audio and visual learning. I felt well prepared and will be using TDC for my clinical exam shortly!
This program helped me from start to finish. It gave me a plan and a way to structure my study time. It provided all the content and materials needed for people who learn visually and auditorily- and it did so in a variety of ways such as lectures, quizzes, study sheets, and practice exams with rationales. The examples and scenarios provided were incredibly helpful. The focus on ethics was tremendously helpful. I can't recommend this program enough and am truly grateful to Amanda and Bethany. Thank you!
