For me I would mark it and leave it blank and then go back before I submitted it. You might get to a question and feel like you do not know the answer.

Remember you are not going to know everything. I felt like I knew nothing, but when you start the exam it will come back to you. Just make sure to breathe and remember you know more than you think you do. My advice is to study as much as you can and when you feel burnt out take a break. With ADD and my short time to study I was able to pass. I have ADD and it is difficult for me to focus at times. Also, for people who are taking the exam in the near future…just relax and keep calm. I wanted to thank you for developing this website. I looked at this website almost daily and right before I took it. I had a job depending on me passing and I was under a lot of pressure. This website helped me out a lot! I just graduated with my MSW and I took my licensing exam yesterday. I do wish everyone luck on their tests and I know you can do it on the first try! So, two days ago, I received an unofficial report stating that I passed! If I can do it, I know others can too. Since thoughts lead to emotions to actions, I made sure I kept an optimistic attitude. Like Adler states, you have to “act as if” and that is what I started doing. Tell yourself you have to believe it, to achieve it. Two other tips: study every night and use positive affirmations. In addition, I made visual tables, such as the similarities and differences of therapeutic interventions and a detailed vocabulary list. Under each section, I typed in the information required using social work textbooks, Social Work dictionary, and websites. I copied and pasted the required KSA’s from the ASWB website. What helped me pass the 3rd time is that I created my own study guide. It would have saved me time and money! LOL. I should have done this before I even scheduled my first test. Bottom line: if you have a learning disability, you can call ASWB special accomodations. By advocating for myself, the board allowed me to take the exam waiving the 90 day period and gave me extra time to take the test.

Even though I know that stigmas exist and felt ashamed, I explained that I have ADD/ADHD. Do you know how frustrating that was for me? So, I finally broke down and contacted ASWB. I failed the first time by 4 points and the second time by 1 point. I’m not trying to scare any readers, I’m just being honest about what happened to me. Thanks for having these tips available! I agree with all of them.Įven though I am a EPIC social worker now, it took me three times to finally pass my LMSW. Epic social workers don’t give up!ĭo you have any tips/advice that you’d like to share?Ĭhristmas Wrapping Paper by Patrick Hoesly Make this an EPIC pass so that you are on the road to becoming an epic therapist as Mike Langlois, LCSW describes so eloquently in his post Epic Therapists,Īnd if by chance, you don’t pass on the first time, that’s ok…you can always take the exam again, 90 days later. For yet others, this may mean not telling anyone when you are taking the test so that the expectations of your friends/family won’t be an added stressor. For yet others, this may mean going with a loved one to the test site on the day of the test. For some, this may mean visiting the test site in advance of the test.
