From my gmail inbox: Hi, I’ve been reading your blog while studying for the LCSW written exam and wanted to first of all say that I appreciate all the useful information, resources, and reading about your trials and tribulations.I’ve been using the AATBS TestMaster as one way to prepare and was wondering if you remember [...] So here’s what it was like.

The scoop: You can book an exam up to a day in advance (though it’s first come first serve). Cancellations have to happen 2 days in advance. Tests are available every couple of days [...] There’s a good post-test summary from a fellow exam-prep blogger here. Passed and passing the wisdom along. One tip for the 21st century: Seems they take your picture when you arrive at the testing center (at least in CA they do). That picture stares at you from your computer screen for the duration of the test. And [...] |
