Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I so appreciate the excellent advice from Robin Gluck about how to manage my time for the exam. I could not have passed the exam without using her strategy!!!
I was super nervous about this test. This study program was absolutely amazing though. There were no surprises, and the way the questions were written were just as the questions appeared on the test. The reasoning portion of TDC was incredibly helpful in taking the test. I definitely recommend this!
This study program provided the perfect study structure, relevant content, is well organized and provided the latest DSM terminology and criteria. The audios REALLY helped me to process and retain the information well. The examples were based on the best clinical practice and social work ethics, which is a BIG part of the exam. I took the LCSW exam last year and missed passing by 1 point. Then I received a letter from the ASWB 4 months later, along with a check for $230 informing me that I was not given the full 270 minutes allowed due to a software error. According to them, I was cheated between 3 to 6 minutes. I was devastated and felt cheated.They apologized and said I had no choice but to retake it. To study for that exam I thought I hired the best person for the job; an individual who was closely affiliated with the ASWB in the early 1980's who helped establish and develop the LCSW and testing system. While using her study materials and after taking the exam, I realized that the study materials, which cost over $350, seemed outdated. I ended up purchasing the ASWB online mock study exam program which she had recommended. However, neither of them prepared me as well as the Therapist Development Center (TDC) study program. I was extremely nervous about running out of time when planning to take the exam again. After using the TDC study program for 9 weeks, I went into the exam feeling more confident and more prepared. I took 3 breaks to snack and go to the bathroom and still had time to review AND PASSED. When I took it the first time, I sat through the entire exam without a break; I had no time. The TDC study program, if used as instructed, will not only prepare you for the actual test, but the testing experience; mentally, physically, and emotionally. My coworker told me about this program and told me that this program made all the difference in the world for him after not passing the first time. Now I can say the same!! I am so grateful to the awesome women who developed and facilitated this awesome program. Thank you!!
I passed!!! After failing the test on my first attempt, I knew I needed to find a better study program which I felt addressed/answered the main issues that the test covers. The TDC is a wonderful program, well organized, and extremely helpful in preparing you for the LCSW exam. The quizzes and tests, along with their rationales helped the most in my opinion. I am so grateful to you all!! I highly recommend this program!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the way this program is organized. It really helped me focus on how to read and answer the exam questions. I am very pleased and I have recommended this program to several colleagues.
