Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I took and passed the LMSW exam the first time! I am so thankful for the Therapist Development Center for their study materials. The easy access to the program including the variety of teaching methods enhanced my overall learning. The study plan works. I am forever grateful.
I took the National test 33 years ago and have been practicing psychotherapy all these years. Since California has no reciprocity with other states, I was, much to my chagrin, forced to take the exam if I wanted to practice here. TDC does an excellent job giving you, not only the facts, but the strategies to pass the test. I really appreciated all the insights and felt I had a great supporter on my shoulder throughout taking the exam. I would highly recommend the investment.
TDC was an excellent study program- well paced and organized. I like how the program focused on thinking strategies opposed to rote memorization. I actively drew on the testing techniques while I took the exam and they helped me power through the questions when I felt fatigued. I passed on the first try and feel confident about studying for the next exam.
I passed my Clinical exam today on my 1st attempt. I attribute this to the LCSW study program. I had previously purchased a program through aatbs and I was struggling with limiting my focus (if you're researching program options, don't choose that one...it was a waste of time/money!!). A friend of mine recommended this program as she passed her exam in November. I only studied the program for 2 weeks (it was doable but I'd recommend giving yourself more time if you have it). This program gave me focus and confidence in the material I was studying. The questions on the aswb exam were nothing like the ones in the practice exams, but with the rationales provided it helped me tease out the info needed on the actual exam to pass it. Feeling so relieved to have this over with in one attempt!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Could not have done it without the help of TDC, Amanda and Yirley for answering questions I had along the way. I passed both exams on the first attempt. The strategies of the program were excellent in that they were focused and relevant to the test. Studying with TDC eased a lot of my anxiety entering the test and I felt prepared. Cannot stop smiling! :)
