Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
Another success for TDC! After 9 weeks of regular study and review, I passed the LMSW exam the first time, correctly answering 30 additional questions above the required minimum (98 required, 128 answered correctly) in 2 hours. I have always done well with organizing information and taking tests, *but* there were still challenges to overcome and TDC's study system helped me to do that.
For example, I was an older MSW student changing careers, and received my MSW in December 2011 at age 54. I have not been working in social work, or my areas of concentration, gerontology or social policy/program evaluation. After attempting to study on my own for a few months I found it difficult to measure progress toward readiness to take the exam.
What the TDC study system for me was to provide a strong focus, relevant information, and a highly effective "package" of materials that helped me identify and close gaps in my knowledge base, build confidence, and measure my progress. By the way, my financial situation has been difficult, but I am pleased with the decision to invest in my new career, and look forward to employment that uses this license. Thank you!
This program was exactly what I was looking for. I did not feel overwhelmed when studying. It helped me to remain focus and it lessened my anxiety. What I liked the most about the program was that I could listen to the lectures as many times as I wanted. It also felt comforting knowing I could access a coach if I needed help.
This program was great. It really helped me manage my time, and provided me with an organized way to study. It broke down information and provided explanations that helped guide my thinking process throughout the exam! Thank you!
I just passed the written exam today! I have to say that the Therapist Development Center (TDC) was an integral part of today's success. I followed the tips and strategies and had Amanda's voice in my head trough out today's test. My friend offered to share her AATBS test bank and let me just say that TDC is spot on about them being, for the most part, unhelpful, confusing and will make you feel like you are going to fail. I felt like TDC was straightforward and so helpful in my understanding of each concept of the exam. The DSM differentials were amazing!! And Amanda is totally spot on about the percentages of each category tested. Definitely consider this program for your written exam and I'm actually excited to start studying for the second with TDC in my corner. Thank you again. This was such a rewarding experience for me today!!!!!
I passed the LCSW Clinical Vignette exam on 11/08/2013! Using only the materials from the Therapist Development Center, I passed the exam on my first try with confidence. I also passed the Written exam on my first try using these phenomenal materials. Prior to hearing about the Therapist Development Center, I purchased materials from another company and was completely overwhelmed by them - every time I pulled them out to study, I was lost and had no clue where to start or how to use them effectively. The exam materials from the Therapist Development Center provided the breakdown and direction I needed for both exams. For the Clinical Vignette exam, I easily learned the strategies needed to manage the complexity & amount of information for each question. I felt well prepared with the content and understood what the test was testing. Happily, I felt very comfortable with my understanding of the law and ethics areas. The study materials are very easily incorporated into a busy life. In fact, part of the study plan is to continue to have a life, stay healthy and not have the exam prep take over your life. I have highly recommended these materials for both exams to my co-workers and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Amanda and the entire team at the Therapist Development Center!
