Social Work Exam Prep Reviews

Erin Cue, LCSW

In preparing for the ASWB clinical exam I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information I felt as thought I "should" study. I was weighed down by trying to memorize material and strategies for answering different types of questions. I appreciated the structure of this study system, the outlines, the lectures and quizzes. It was extremely helpful to know what to study and how to effectively prepare. And despite being insanely nervous, I passed with a 89%! Thank you!

I cannot say enough about this study program! It was fantastically organized, easy to understand and captured so much of what is missing in preparing for the test! You all are angels and have an exceptional product! Thank you for helping me pass!! It is the greatest feeling and I could not have done it without The Therapist Development Center!!! All my praise to you!!!

I used Gerry Grossman for the LCSW written exam and passed, but the materials were so overwhelming and I definitely over studied. For the vignette exam, I only used TDC. The materials were much more manageable and focused. The study plan was quite relaxing. I had an easy time studying and went to the exam with great confidence. My anxiety level was much lower than the first exam. Switching to your company from Gerry's was definitely the right decision to make. I've already recommended your courses to many of my friends. Thanks for being there for us!

I am beyond thankful that I signed up for The Therapist Development Center study package. Prior to signing up for TDC I took the LCSW exam and failed by four points.  Looking back I discovered that I was overwhelmed with using DSM IV-TR, my textbooks, hand me down practice exams and advice from others in the field.  I even purchased books and flashcards from a popular study source which only mimicked my textbooks (utter confusion).  I clearly did not know where to even begin studying and what topics were important for the exam.  I decided to sign up for the TDC system and the rest is history.  I had a life because the tasks are placed into a workable schedule so I did not have to spend the entire day studying.  The important topics are highlighted so there was no question about what to study. I was able to access the system from any computer and even on my cell phone during days where I was traveling to and from work on the train. Lastly, Amanda, Bethany and Emily are the best!!!!! I emailed questions and I would receive a quick response!  I even spoke to Bethany on the telephone on a few occasions!  She and I set up time to talk about certain questions along with my fears of attacking the exam a second time.  I am telling all of my MSW friends about this system and I have no regrets about signing up!   Keep up the good work!  This system is a lifesaver and a miracle! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! A++++

In August I took the LMSW test and failed by 7 questions...I studied with the social work study guide my school sold as well as paid for a 4 part lecture class they provided and was mortified of the test. On the day of I couldn't remember anything and stressed out the entire way through. When I stumbled upon the Therapist Development Center I read through the sample information prior to signing up and found the rationale TDC gave on how to pass made so much sense, she stated the test was more reason based which I was only taught remembrance the SW topics to made sense like never before. I immediately signed up and started the online program. Everyday I was so excited to study because I not only was studying for an exam but I felt like I was learning so much. The audio was clear and to the point and the quick studies were easy to understand. This program taught me how to break down questions to understand and how to put them questions in order to choose what a SW would do first or next. Amanda and Megen were great at being available when I needed them. Finally the pep talk at the end was the cherry on top because it gave me the final confidence I needed to get through the test day especially when TDC gave me insight into exactly what to eat and when to take a break. This system helped me a great deal and I will forever be grateful to TDC and the team of experts...Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I passed my exam with 15 more questions that I needed...
