Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I enjoyed the TDC self-directed LCSW exam prep program very much. It is very comprehensive, organized, flexible, and self paced. It has a variety of study methods, great support (thanks Bethany!) and, most importantly, empowers us to think like a clinician so we can be in a position to successfully *attack* the exam from above and not from below. Every tip of advice was appropriate and in addition to the study information per-se, Amanda's audio support empowers us with a mentality of "I can, and I will" especially for many of us with a history of previous exam failure. Thank you so much!
It was a bit of wait to find out from BBS that I had passed the LCSW L&E exam due to the analysis process. I studied for just about 4 weeks for this exam. There were a few bad studying habits I had to break and replace with some healthy coping strategies to manage my test anxiety and build my confidence prior and during my course of studying for this exam. Those included remaining physically active on a regular basis, eating healthy diets, prioritizing time out of my busy weeknights and weekends to study, practicing meditation, and stealing time away to engage in social gatherings with friends. I do believe that keeping a balanced and healthy routine really helped keep me staying mentally strong, focused, and reduced my anxiety to the minimum. Most importantly, I appreciated the wonderful study tools that TDC offered, as well as their patience and ongoing support for giving me extensions as I took a long time to overcome my test anxiety and build my confidence up to take this exam. Despite not knowing the result right on that day, I walked out of the test center after my exam with a good feeling, believing that I had passed. And I did!!! I had utilized all the test taking techniques that Amanda talked about and was able to quickly identify the right answers for the majority of the questions without second guessing myself. Thank you Amanda and the team for your brilliance and commitment to getting me to pass. I am excited and so ready to dive into the study materials for the ASWB clinical exam.
When I took the test, I felt very well prepared. The study material was exactly the same material that was presented on the test. There was not a single question on the exam that I felt I was unprepared for. The practice exams were just like the actual test, if not a little harder. Therefore when I was taking the test, I felt just like I was at home taking a practice exam. These test materials were amazing prep for the actual exam!! The audio is fantastic because you can go back, rewind, and listen to it as many times as you want, and at your own pace. I found they broke down the study topics into easily manageable and digestible pieces and I did feel that it made me practice as a better clinician. I am a full time working mom of 3 children (including an 8 month old baby) and could only study 1 hour at the end of the day. I took the test after about 3.5 weeks of studying and felt it was just right for me. I was so happy that I passed the first time I took the test. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of taking the CA Law and Ethics Exam!!
Thank you so much for this program. I have taken the previous exam 4 different times. For some reason with this particular exam, everything just clicked. Today I found out I passed. Thank you!! This has been 5 years in the making. Now I just have the national exam to conquer on my way to getting my license!!
This study program was so good I passed even when I was sick!
