Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
Last year I failed the Standard Written miserably. I had been buried under hundreds of pages of materials that made me feel as though "I didn't know what I know". Then, a colleague told me about Therapist Development, and how well it has worked. It worked well for me, today. It pulled many disparate facts and ways of looking at the human condition into a cogent clinical treatment package. The DSM differentials helped keep diagnostic criteria straight, without being able refer to the manual. The theoretical piece was a very helpful review. The "Top 50" gave a sense of order to everything. The Law and Ethics and mandate sections shed light on the complexity of justice system that clinicians must be aware of. I reached question "200" with 8 minutes left, which is to say that I learned to pace myself with the mock tests. Oddly, I never was able to pass the mock exams, and entered the real exam with doubt. The doubt disappeared when I realized that The TDC program had given me the skill to think through ambiguous questions regarding human problems and arrive at a best answer by processes of ordering, prioritizing the direction of treatment. This was especially useful when all choices were essentially correct, but needed order. The self care was also useful. My hat is off to Therapist Development Staff. When I needed extensions, due to my work schedule interfering with test prep, the staff was very accommodating. I will be purchasing the vignette program after resting my brain for a few weeks.
Many thanks to Amanda and the TDC team! Not only did your materials help me pass on the first try, they also prepared me to be a better clinician in my daily social work practice. Thank you thank you for the engaging materials and the effective strategies. I am so glad that I followed my instincts to stop using materials that were not working for me and start using your materials. My clinical confidence is at an all time high! I will continue to recommend TDC to everyone!!
I passed! I passed! Thanks for being a wonderful coach through this process and helping me prepare with the right information! I knew what to anticipate because of the program and I could not have passed it on my own. I passed!!!
Thank You Therapist Development Center. You have made a big difference in my life. I had one prior attempt on taking the Clinical Exam and wasn't even close to passing. I studied the wrong information and felt like the exam took me by storm. A colleague at work sent me the link to Therapist Development Center. I love how easy the study system was to use. It was beneficial to have a pragmatic, smart, and organized program like TDC providing simplistic materials to use. The audio materials, quizzes, and written exams were all great and accurately reflected the actual clinical exam. Any time you can get another experienced social worker's expertise you can really learn a lot. Yesterday I took the exam for the second time and was able to pass with some margin (10 points). I have already recommended to two acquaintances of mine.
A HUGE THANK YOU….Once again, the TDC was by my side helping me pass the ASWB National Clinical Exam!!! I recently relocated to the state of OR and my LCSW (achieved from my previous experience with TDC) from CA did not transfer!!! Unfortunately, I was faced with having to pass the ASWB Clinical Examination to become licensed. My exam coach Bethany was very supportive and graciously worked around a 3hour time difference to accommodate my schedule and availability! As I sat thru the challenging 4 hour exam, I rest assured I would be fine; not only from my own hard work, but also from the comprehensive TDC study program!! Thanks Amanda and also a BIG THANKS to Bethany!!
