Social Work

I'm kinda surprised I passed. I'm not usually very good with standardized tests and honestly, I hate studying. However, I am so glad I purchased this program. I was hesitant at first because it is much cheaper than other programs and it made me wonder why. I was also not used to studying with an audio format and I wasn't sure if this was gonna work. Well it totally did. This program somehow managed to teach me how to understand what was being asked and which choice was the best answer - without investing weeks and weeks of time in studying.

Thank you again TDC for developing such a great study prep program.  I have used both your study preps for the Standard Written and the Clinical Vignette and it was the best money ever spent!  I feel like a much more confident and skilled clinician after your program and lectures. I procrastinated for years because I did not know where to begin with other study prep programs and though they had a plethora of information and materials - I was so overwhelmed by all of it, I decided to just pass on going after my license.  A friend of mine told me about TDC.

I just wanted to share with you that I passed my exam the FIRST time a few weeks ago using your study method and I just want to say THANK YOU!! While, I am not going to make it seem like it was an easy exam, because it was not, I can HONESTLY say, that by using your study method, I felt VERY prepared.  I was amazed by your study method, I felt as if it was concise, informative and I felt well prepared for the exam.  Thank you also for creating a study method where I did not feel as if I needed 6 months to study.

Thank you so much TDC, for your coaching services and materials.  Today I passed the LCSW-CV exam! (after taking it 5 times previously using others study systems).  Your approach, the rationales and especially the 'frames' were what made the difference for me. Honestly, when I finished the last question and the time ran out, I did not know whether I had passed.  The joy I currently feel in finally achieving such a significant hurdle in my professional development is awesome.  Your system is the best out there!- I know because I have tried all the others!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I felt very prepared for the exam after failing the first time by 2 points and AATBS prep. I experienced support, guidance and confidence as I navigated the pragamatic and interesting study materials. I was fully ready to take on the exam on test day July 31st. I felt as if Amanda Rowan was right there next to me saying "Absolutely! " whenever I recognized a correct answer. TDC truly has unlocked the logic of the Clinical Vignette exam. I can easily and enthusiastically recommend the Therapist Development Center.

I wanted to let you know that I passed the LMSW exam on August 8th!  I am thrilled.  I really appreciate the study program, it gave me a structured framework for studying, gave me confidence that I could pass the exam and I learned a lot as well.  I think the material is well organized and by following the study program exactly as suggested I passed with 131 out of 150 and I needed only 96 point to pass.

I also appreciated the phone call with my coach which was great to help me feel connected and confident moving forward. Thanks so much.

I wish I would have known about this program two years ago when I purchased the complete $900+ packet for AATBS.  The strategies and the recommendations of how to study the material are exactly the guidance that we need to pass.  I am so excited to finally be an LCSW and cannot say enough great things about the Therapist Development Center.

I was using another company's materials and was frustrated that I "wasn't nailing it." I enjoyed your presentation;  taking a pre-test and then listening to the tape felt more personal. You also streamlined the materials...just what was needed to pass.  It feels great to have the test behind me.  Thanks for your help.

This program really prepared me for the exam. The mock exam questions were very similar to the actual exam, so there weren't many surprises (if any) the day of the test. The test taking strategies were very valuable as well and made me feel confident throughout the test. The length of the program was just right and the material was well organized. I highly recommend this program to everyone!

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.
