I researched quite a few online prep companies after scouring old textbooks and realizing I was quickly getting overwhelmed at not having an organized curriculum from which to study. Once I found TDC I called Amanda, and found her to be really in touch with a student like myself who’d been out of school for years and had a lot of text anxiety. Our phone discussion ‘sealed the deal’ for me because I found Amanda to be reassuring and clear in her explanation as to what makes TDC unique among so many test prep companies.
I was immediately drawn to the idea of a streamlined, efficient approach that taught not only the specific concepts needed, but also offered very specific test taking strategies that addressed the reasoning emphasis of this multiple choice test. I also loved the one-on-one support from Bethany, who was so responsive in quickly emailing back to answer all of my questions. I’m a learner who benefits from both the visual materials as well as audio lectures, and I never tired of re-reading and listening to the curriculum repeatedly. Having Amanda’s voice in my head the day of the test was an added comfort.
I cannot imagine having had the success I had passing this exam on the first attempt and being so test phobic after so many years out of school had I not used the TDC materials. I totally agree with TDC that the key to success in this exam is to be careful not to study unnecessary information that overwhelms you or emphasizes pure memorization while ignoring the critical factor of test strategy. The test is testing knowledge from a very specific vantage point, and students need to prep for success by having the advantage of a curriculum that offers tools and strategies in a user-friendly and efficient way that directs your learning towards the ASWB expectations.
