For those who’ve cleared the first-exam hurdle and are a mere 40 vignette questions away from an LCSW, more free practice awaits:

Love that pic!
I have a question, maybe someone can answer for me. I recenlty was approved to test for my LCSW. I have all the hours etc. completed, and have an MSW degree. I notice reference on this site for 2 different tests, the first and the second vignette. What is the difference, I was unaware that there were 2.
Anon,
If you're in California, there are two tests, a "standard written" and a "clinical vignette." Most other states, I'm told, have just one test. If you're in CA, the BBS explains in their booklet:

Good Luck.
Does anybody know how many of the 40 questions you have to get right to pass the Clinical Vignette Exam?
Not sure about the passing percentage. Seems to be a BBS secret. I don't think the correct answers # is higher than sixty-something percent. (An AATBS advisor seemed to think I was test ready getting 70%+ on their practice exams.) Remember this: Of the 40 questions, 10 are testers and don't count for your score, so don't be alarmed if some questions make little-to-no sense. Enjoy.
THANK YOU!
Hi can anyone recommend a good training course online to prepare for the LCSW in California?
Try out the practice questions linked on the right to see what looks good to you. I went w/ AATBS. No complaints.
Try gerry grossman seminars, it was helpful. just google them.
I’ve been working with the Berkeley Training Associates and have been very satisfied with their workshop, written prep materials and especially the online practice exams. I passed my LCSW written with no problem (wasn’t nervous, felt totally familiar with the exam format and content). I feel pretty good about the upcoming vignette exam and find that the online practice helps me hone in on the areas I need to study more closely. As a mom of 2 toddlers who works full time & commutes, I don’t have much extra time to study so BTA has been very helpful in maximizing the time I do have!
