Social Work Exam Prep Reviews

I came out of graduate school with the intentions of taking my LCSW exam soon after. Due to life circumstances, that wasn’t a viable option for me, and there I found myself trying to study for the biggest exam of my life with an infant. I had so much anxiety about how I would have enough time to adequately study for this exam. TDC breaks down every topic so thoroughly, and I went into my test feeling the most confident. I also have found myself being more assertive in my practice due to the knowledge that I feel like I have learned from TDC. It truly gave me the confidence not only for my test, but for my day-to-day too. I couldn’t have been more happy with the program and the resources it offers. I’ve told all of my interns and coworkers about it and will continue to sing its praises! Thank you for helping me not only pass this test, but for helping me the best clinician possible.

I felt fully prepared for the exam thanks to this study program! A coach answered all of my last minute questions that came up while I was taking the mock exams. She responded to my emails almost immediately even on a Sunday! I am a horrible test taker but I passed with flying colors and felt confident on most of the questions. Just do exactly as Amanda says and you'll be good to go!

I've never purchased a test prep program before and was hesitant to do so. I'm glad I listened to my coworkers and bought this program. This program put everything in one place, helped me plan out and organize studying, and most importantly taught me how to approach questions and navigate the nuances. Not only did I pass on the first try but reviewing the study materials has sharpened my clinical practice as well. Thanks TDC for putting this together to help us get through this final hurdle. 

My first exam was taken "cold turkey"- no significant studying. I convinced myself to initially view the first try as a practice, which reduced the test anxiety associated with it. I didn't pass, but I was determined to pass it after obtaining some additional CE units. I made the two-hour trip to the Los Angeles hotel for the seminar, which was time-consuming and costly, but I assumed the in-person approach would give me a better chance of absorbing the material and passing. I was shocked that results of my second exam showed only a minor improvement from the first try. Now, the stakes were higher, and I had already lost money on obtaining units and exam costs. I then recalled what a colleague shared with me (when at the L.A. seminar), which was her plan to take this course in addition to the CE units. I remember liking the idea, but the cost scared me away at first. I later reconnected with her, and discovered she passed the exam on the first try. I finally purchased this course for myself, and passed the exam! I would have saved money in the long run if I had taken this course from the start.
