Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I passed!!! I just got out of the whirlwind of taking the first LCSW exam. It was not easy...but thanks to TDC, I knew how I would feel and I was prepared. I followed Amanda Rowan’s instructions to a T Ater reviewing other friend's study materials, I felt very thankful that I chose TDC. I was not overwhelmed with books of info that would not have been helpful on the exam. I knew the Strategies/What to expect/How I would feel, etc. I knew the material but equally importantly, I knew how to study and I understood the craziness that this test is (both, thanks to TDC). I am so relieved and proud to have passed. Even though I am taking a little break to celebrate, I am surprisingly excited to get ready for the 2nd test using TDC again...I know I'll pass. :) Thank you Thank you TDC!!!
The Therapist Development Center was all I needed to pass the LCSW standard written exam. All of the test taking strategies I acquired allowed me to lean in and tackle the exam. I strongly recommend this study system!
After trying two other mainstream test prep materials, I switched to TDC. As soon as I did, I felt relieved. I was relieved to have a structured plan to use as a guide to breaking down such a daunting task! Also, I was relieved to have a down-to-earth resource to sift through the material for the essentials. With the other material, I was intimidated and overwhelmed by the amount of info I was thinking I needed to learn, and I was putting it off. With TDC, I was encouraged by the first lecture; when I plotted out my study schedule with the sample schedule provided, I felt immediately in control. I do well with a plan! Finally, my audio-visual learning style and the need to "study smarter rather than harder" (we all have lives, and we already went to grad school!) met my needs much better than the other material. Just wish I'd bought this first. Hence my testimonial! Hopefully, my story saves some people some money and stress. PS: I passed on the first go, plowing through the TDC course in 3 weeks.
Today was the best day!!! I had to get 99 questions right to pass and I passed by 129. I completely relied on your system and I was so nervous and anxious for the test. Throughout the exam I could hear Bethany talking me through each question and it REALLY helped. Thank you so much! I can now get my dream job! TDC was the perfect study program for me!
I used TDC to prepare for the California LCSW Standard Written Exam. I passed on my first try and felt that TDC truly prepared me for the exam. I love the way TDC organizes the material in "bite-size" amounts. I went from feeling overwhelmed and hopeless before using Amanda’s material to feeling confident and prepared after using her material. I had talked with friends who had huge books and binders of material to review from other study companies and that just seemed daunting. Luckily a friend recommended TDC. I followed her study plan and took 8 weeks to study (repeating the material twice and some sections 3 times). It was something I could handle, even with all my other responsibilities as a wife & mother and working two jobs. I love Amanda’s audios and her down-to-earth approach to the lectures. You really feel like you are in supervision with someone you know and trust. Amanda's strategies to passing are right on cue, and I believe that the strategies are the key to passing the exam. However, be prepared, it is true... during the exam, you will feel like you are bombing the test! I felt like I was going to see a big fat FAIL at the end. The test is tricky. However, I applied all of the strategies and believe that is the only reason I passed on my first try. I recommend TDC to everyone I know!
