Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
Working with the TDC was great. Prior to taking her course I had taken a packaged LCSW seminar over a year ago and yet never registered for my first test, (not to mention spent a significant amount of money doing it)!! I think my hesitation in taking the test was largely because the previous seminar gave so much information it almost seemed impossible to absorb. It took an incredible amount of time just to strategize on how to tackle the material…A year and a few months later I felt I was finally ready and passed the first exam. In preparation for the second exam however, I knew I could not wait another year, I needed someone who knew how to teach, motivate and present the most concise material to get me through. My co-worker referred me to the TDC. I contacted them on the phone and by the end of our conversation I felt totally confident that I could tackle the second exam in 6 weeks. I quickly signed up for her courses and just 2 weeks beyond my initial timeline I had passed my second exam. The TDC is all about the “test”. In referring them to my co-workers I explain their approach as “trimming all the fat and getting straight to the meat”. They gave very practical and concise approaches to taking the test. They provided the motivation and support I needed to get it done and get it done quickly. Thanks TDC.
I cannot believe how prepared I felt for the LMSW exam compared to the first time I took it. It was a completely different experience. As you know, I used AATBS the first time and just got blown away on test day. You helped me develop the test taking skills I needed to actually pass the test. What a difference! I am telling all my friends about you!
Preparing for the LCSW exam is daunting. I found that having the guidance and support of The Therapist Development Center gave me the individualized direction I needed to know what and how to study for the exam. The workshops allowed me to break down a large amount of information into a more “doable” amount of information. I found the individual tutoring session particularly helpful. My tutor was able to assess my practice exam results allowing for a tailored session that focused on areas of the exam that was most challenging for my individual case. I believe I was less anxious during the actual testing experience because I had that individual time with a tutor to talk about my individual challenge areas. I obtained a better understanding of how to read a question stem and determine what the question was asking. Overall, the support received from the Therapist Development Center was what I needed when preparing for the LCSW exam… and it worked! I PASSED!
Having used not one but two of the main prep companies promising pass guarantees did not help me and left me frustrated. I found TDC’s techniques for teaching strategies to pass the LCSW CV exam absolutely helpful to be successful in passing the exam!!!. Learning how to apply such strategies and not just take the same tests several times helped me to accomplish my goal. Thank you TDC!!!
A year ago I took the LCSW Standard Written Exam and ran out of time–resulting in a fail on the exam. I realized that I needed to learn some test-taking strategies specifically geared towards the LCSW exam. Upon doing some research and consulting with colleagues, they referred me to the Therapist Development Center. After speaking with the TDC over the telephone, I knew that they were the one to go to for test taking strategies. Less than a month after taking their two workshops; I sat for the LCSW Standard Written Exam for the second time and PASSED! I even had twenty-two minutes remaining after I finished the exam. There is no doubt in my mind that the TDC strategies were the key factor aiding my confidence to pass the exam. The TDC definitely the one to work with as you prepare for your exam. Best of luck to everyone!
