Social Work Exam Prep Reviews
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!
Thank you for sharing your exam strategies with me, it absolutely helped me pass my LCSW CV exam. The TDC framework provided clear and practical techniques to navigate the exam confidently. The on-demand conference web-based experience was perfect for my busy schedule and learning style. I found the material concise and methodical. I first saw you present at Gerry Grossman when I was studying for my written exam. It was clear to me early on that you possessed the clinical knowledge and competency to teach the content, but you did in a way that is relevant to social workers. What the other test prep companies lack is the clarity and concise framework that you so clearly present, packaged in a way that is easily digestible user friendly. Thank you for your encorougement and support toward my licensure.
I wanted to first inform you that I am finally an LCSW!!! I had used AATBS and Gerry Grossman for the second part of the vignette and studied really hard, but failed in 2011. I only missed it by 1 point, but I finished barely on time and half the time I felt like I was guessing. When I heard about your program I decided to try it out especially since I knew 2 other people who reported you had helped them tremendously. After I listened to your first workshop the test made sense. I was shocked. I practiced all your techniques, I realized that AATBS makes you assume things and therefore I failed my exam the first time. But I took the exam on 2/24/11 and not only did I pass, I finished in 90 minutes!! I am not joking. I was wondering if it was that simple, and I was going to review my answers at the end for fear that I had answered prematurely, but as I read a few questions I realized it made sense and that I had followed your instructions. And I passed!!! I am so thankful to you. I am telling all my friends about you. Truly, this is huge for me and I am so happy. Thank you and keep up the great job!!
