Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
Using the TDC study system I was able to pass the CVE on the first try. I am so grateful for the ease of the study materials and the focus on what's really needed for the exam. I also appreciate how TDC breaks down the material so that you an get a good understanding of what the test is going to ask of you. I would say that the test taking strategies and the test anxiety techniques were the main keys to my passing the exam on the first try. I thank Amanda, and her coaches, for helping me pass and become an LCSW.
I would like to thank the Therapist Development Center for getting me through both my California Standard Written and Clinical Vignette Exams. I was able to go into both exams with confidence and pass the first time. I have colleagues that used other systems and failed, sometimes more than once! My experience was that the TDC material was everything that was important to passing and nothing that was extraneous. Thanks again, and I would recommend the system to anybody.
I purchased this program, studied diligently for 10 days, and passed on the 11th day. I would not recommend doing it in that short of a time period but it can be done. I don't believe I would have passed without this program. You get tests and quizzes and lectures and handouts. There is also email support from an actual person. It is all beautifully organized. It is designed for 5 or 8 weeks of study, but if you are committed to the process you can get it done sooner. (I would not recommend doing it in 10 days.) I want to say that after going through this program, I feel so much more polished as a professional and clinician, an added benefit to the help they provide of passing the exam.
The actual exam questions are not the questions on any of the practice tests but somehow the TDC helps train you to think differently, analytically, and you feel a little more confident when you sit for the exam. You are able to figure out the answers they want after completing this program. And they help you with strategies on the day of the exam, when to take breaks, etc. I highly recommend this program. Thank you, TDC!
I just want to say THANK YOU TDC!!!! Without you, I am sure I would not be licensed right now. Amanda has an immense knowledge and expertise in her field and knows how to relay the info to make sense. I had studied AATBS and Berkley for the first two written exams and I failed both times. I was so discouraged and almost gave up, when I heard about Amanda Rowan and her prep course...TDC. You were a God send. I passed the written exam on the first attempt and passed the vignette exam on the first attempt using TDC's material. I am beyond grateful...and always will be!
There could not have been any other test prep material for me than this one. It is so well organized (which I totally lack on my own) and it is very straight forward, you CAN'T go wrong. I'll be logging in again very soon for my purchase of (Part II) the vignette testing material. Thank you TDC for the pep talk feedback and advice. It was sooo useful and validating.
