I am so delighted I passed the Clinical Social Work Exam today. I needed to answer 99 questions correctly and I answered 110 correctly. I tested previously in 2007, but missed passing by four points the first time and one time the second time. This devastated me. I finally built the courage to try again but kept asking myself if I was crazy for doing so because so much has changed since I received my MSW in 2002. I started exploring different test preparation programs and learned so many positive things about TDC so I decided to go for it. I took my time studying. Gave myself three months to prepare. During that time I went through the TDC study materials twice and took several mock test from TDC and other programs. I was a lot more confident after consistently passing all the mock tests I took. This to me was a testament of how well TDC had prepared me to take the real exam. Needless to say, I was still nervous to take the exam but felt more confident that I had before. Went in to take the test with strategies to manage my anxiety. What I found most valuable from the TDC program is the many different study aides and the easy access to exam coaches who responded quickly to all of my questions. I felt so supported by them! Bethany and Heidi are really great at explaining test taking strategies and breaking down question/answer rationales to provide further clarification. Thank you so much to all the staff at TDC. I am so grateful for everything.
