Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I put all my faith and trust in the Therapist Development Center's study material once again, and was not disappointed. I just passed the clinical vignette exam and am officially an LCSW! I used TDC's study materials for both of the LCSW exams as recommended by a friend. I did not use any other study materials from other companies and did not need to. I had started to look at AATBS sample materials before purchasing TDC's material and found it to be confusing. TDC's study materials are comprehensive and easy to understand. I passed both exams on the first attempt and felt very well prepared by the TDC study program. Listening to Amanda Rowan and her style of presenting the information in the lectures made me feel supported and confident that I was being well prepared to pass the exams. I have recommended the material to other friends who also passed the exams on the first try. Thank you TDC for helping me become an LCSW!
I didn't pass the vignette exam the first time because I rushed through studying and didn't fully learn and utilize the strategies taught and I ran out of time on exam day. The second time around I focused on strategy including frames and using my "X's" with confidence and I finished with 20 minutes left and I passed with confidence! Another strategy I used this time around was anxiety management (especially since this was my second time taking it) which for me was a LOT of mindfulness, meditating on the word "pass" while deep breathing and I also exercised a ton in the days leading up to the exam. Thank you for this program, I always recommend it to colleagues and we are all full of gratitude for the TDC materials.
The Therapist Development Center really prepares you for HOW to take the test. The pep talks were so helpful, reminding you of how to talk yourself through the question and sometimes how to pick the best of the worst answers. I am looking forward to using the TDC study material for the second test, as well.
I've told SO many people about this system. Prior to learning of this system, I took the exam and missed it by three points. I was devastated and very hesitant to take the exam again. I felt like I KNEW the information but applying it in the way that the test required was very difficult. After using this system, I felt much more confident and passed the exam by leaps and bounds. I will definitely be back when I'm studying for the LCSW and I will not be utilizing any other study materials!!! Thanks
With the help of TDC, I was able to successfully pass both the SWE and CVE only 8 weeks after finishing my clinical hours. Had I gone at studying on my own without TDC, I'm sure I wouldn't even be close to taking even just the first test. TDC takes care of supplying you with all the materials in a way that is both organized and easy to understand. It was worth every penny, and I highly recommend this program to anyone preparing to take the LCSW Exams.
