Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I felt extremely prepared for both the written and vignette exams thanks to Amanda and her explanations of study material. I felt like the mock exams were a good indication of what was on the real exam on test day and I liked that she gave us strategies for working through the uneasiness of not knowing how to answer certain difficult questions. Thank you Amanda for your amazing courses; I never would've been able to do this without you!
My biggest fear about the exam was my own anxiety about it. This program helped me feel prepared and confident in my knowledge base. The tips for how to take the exam were practical and really helped me feel positive as I entered the exam. Knowing how to allocate my time during the exam helped me manage my anxiety about the time and I am grateful for how well this program was organized and most importantly I was so relieved about how I did not feel overwhelmed with the material.
Ever since childhood, I have been really slow at reading comprehension, but I have always managed to be an A student by working extra hard to overcome that challenge. The exam was really hard for me and I know that if I had been able to see my score, it would not have been an A, because there were a lot of questions wherein I felt confident about the subject matter in the stem, but had trouble making sure it was the actual right answer in such a short amount of time. With this type of test, I just don't expect myself to get an A or even a B for that matter. I was the first to enter the test center and the last to leave and only had one minute at the end to use for looking back at my marked questions, so I was paralyzed with fear that I may not have gotten enough questions right. I have been in the field of social work for 21 years and I am really confident with myself in the work that I do, but if I had not had the assistance from a program such as this to help me brush up on all the latest things I needed to know for this exam and to understand how to approach it and think about it, I don't think I would have passed on account of my typically slow methodical way of doing things. I am very grateful to have had this assistance and the banana and juice definitely made a big difference half way through the exam. Thank you!
Utilizing the Therapist Development Center materials truly helped give me the confidence and knowledge to succeed. I have a history of terrible text anxiety and second guessing and through the use of this program I exceeded my own personal expectations and scored higher than I ever thought possible. Amanda has amazingly put together all of the most important topics and the audio clips truly help break apart the questions and help identify what the stem is asking and identifying the appropriate response. So thankful to be on the next step in my career : )
This program was great--it taught me what I need to know in sufficient depth without overwhelming me. I felt that the TDC program built my confidence as well as my knowledge where it seemed like other programs' strategy was to overprepare the user which tends to overwhelm and worry the test taker. Thanks for a great program.
