I have been out of Graduate School for 17 years. I am so glad I found your system. It kept me focused and organized. It also helped me to identify my weak areas so I could focus on those. The mock exams helped me to practice taking the real test and the recommendations for taking the test really helped. Thank you!
On 4/18/14 I officially became a social worker, what a great feeling. I would like to thank Emily and Amanda for the development, execution, and support that this program offers. I was confident and well prepared. The importance of this program can not be overstated. I can honestly say that I feel I have learned more in the last 3 months, than I did in 2 years of grad school. It has actually inspired me to continue to pursue the learning process that this program has started. I only I wish I knew about this 4 years ago.
I found the thinking that TDC put into designing the program for the Written Exam fabulous. TDC's ability to put together behavioral and neuroscientific information was very creative, helpful and in the end, effective. I found that the program's emphasis on using relaxation and imagery coupled with the hammering home of this test being mostly an exam on reasoning and picking the "best answer" not the "right answer" extremely helpful. I look forward to now studying for Part II - the Clinical Vignette and passing.
I passed my LCSW exam today! On my first try too! TDC prepared me for the exam and I went in feeling confident. There were no surprises on the exam and I felt well prepared for the exam. I can't thank TDC enough for helping me lower my anxiety about the exam and helping to focus my studying on the material that was important. I completed the program in 3 weeks. Thanks again, I couldn't have done this without you!
I used another study guide three years ago when I took the LSW exam. I passed then but I didn't felt confident going into the exam. I looked for something else to prepare me for the LCSW exam and stumbled upon TDC. I loved how the course was broken down into specific learning areas and how it was a mixture of online practice exams, audio lectures, study sheets, and lectures. I carried the study sheets with me as .pdf files on my smart phone. I also listened to the lectures on my phone as I drove and when I was sitting in traffic.
I passed my LCSW exam 1 week ago. I studied other program materials and failed. I stumbled on TDC's website and what a blessing it was. I loved that it was organized, increased my social work knowledge, and taught exactly what I needed to know to pass the exam. I have been recommending this program to others as I truly feel it works. Thanks also to my coaches and I hope this program helps many others as it helped me.
I just want to thank you and your amazing study system. I passed my LCSW exam this afternoon (4/12/14) in Virginia. I failed it in January by just a few points and was so bummed out. I did not give up and you all graciously gave me an extension with your program. After I had failed, I put all of my study things away for a few months and picked it back up. Your program organizes the broad scope of data into a managable and conceivable format to study. I know it is because of the Therapist Development Center that I passed this afternoon!!! Thanks! Well worth it!
TDC's programs are superior! I passed the first CA LCSW exam with ease using TDC and I just passed the LCSW vignette exam using the Therapist Development Center's materials again just 4 months later. These materials are straight forward, clearly communicated and easy to work with. Highly recommended!
Your material was instrumental in my passing the exam. I was able to finish the exam in a timely manner, because I didn't spend lots of time on wrong answer sets. Material was easily understandable, not conveluded with additional information to study. I appreciated the free extensions as well. Staff got back to me in less than the 2 day time frame. Thanks.
In preparing for the ASWB clinical exam I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information I felt as thought I "should" study. I was weighed down by trying to memorize material and strategies for answering different types of questions. I appreciated the structure of this study system, the outlines, the lectures and quizzes. It was extremely helpful to know what to study and how to effectively prepare. And despite being insanely nervous, I passed with a 89%! Thank you!
