Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
I just passed the California LCSW Clinical Vignette exam using the Therapist Development Center's study system. I tried to study using another program, but I stopped during the first practice exam because I did not agree with the rationale for diagnostic choices. I was very frustrated and worried, but I researched online and found the Therapist Development Center. This program does a great job of preparing you to take the exam, and the material is broken down in a way that makes sense. Amanda Rowan clearly explains what BBS wants to accomplish by structuring the test in this way. She also showed me that I already had all of the clinical skills and knowledge I needed to pass this exam, but I just needed to know how to apply that on the test. I really wish I'd found this program when I was studying for the Standard Written Exam; it would have saved me a lot of time and stress. This was my first attempt (for both tests), and I studied for about a week and a half for the Clinical Vignette exam.
I definitely felt much more comfortable with the material and direction. I bought some test books and some were too inclusive. Even though there was definitely material that we didn't cover I knew how to get rid of some answers and break the question down to steps. I don't know what I got but I know I passed, thanks.
I was so nervous, studied on and off for 3 months, really kicked into gear the last two weeks and passed! The tips were great and the guides and mock exams really help prepare you and get your head in the right state of mind to pass this exam. Thanks!
I have already referred the program to all of my social work and MFT co-workers and friends! The study material was just right in regards to what I needed to know for the exams. Not once did I feel overwhelmed with the amount of study material I was given. My anxiety was high but I was definitely prepared to pass both exams! Thank you!
I am grateful for friends who recommended your program, and that I had the good sense to leave AATBS in the dust (I did one of their mock tests after learning your program, but I made the mistake of reading the rationales for my incorrect answers - my mama feared I would dash one of her glass water glasses in anger! It is SO contradictory!!) I am recommending your program to my UCLA cohort. I would love to send you a photo of my scratch paper template =) THANK YOU TDC!
