From PsychCentral, here’s a list of 10 Highly Effective Study Habits (see article for details). The list: 1. How you approach studying matters Aim to think positively when you study. Avoid catastrophic thinking. Avoid absolute thinking. Avoid comparing yourself with others. 2. Where you study is important 3. Bring everything you need, nothing you don’t [...] This applies only to the CA vignette exam. The thing about the vignette exam is that it’s complicated. Long vignettes, groups of long, similar answers. Typical result while studying: dizziness, confusion, frustration. Solution: Slow down. You can try just winging it; not recommended. Better to be extremely deliberate with this one. First, adopt a [...] You may have had this experience–some of my tutoring clients have reported it: You read a vignette and you get sucked in. The heartache, the pain, the misery. It’s all too much. Your burnout meter goes into the red. Or, harder still, elements of the vignette remind you of your own experience–family problems, relationship [...] A questions-and-answers page all about exam preparation sits at Berkeley Training Associates. Maybe your burning questions are answered there. Among the inquiries: HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I SPEND ON EXAM PREPARATION? WHAT DO YOU FIND THAT SUCCESSFUL EXAM CANDIDATES HAVE IN COMMON? MY SUPERVISOR IS VERY CREATIVE, INSIGHTFUL AND SUPPORTIVE, BUT I’M NOT SURE [...] Here’s a multiple choice test rule of thumb that social work test preppers should keep in mind: Read the question, then, hit pause.

Really [...] A long page of licensing exam tips from Berkeley Training Associates is here. How to prepare, what to study, and approaches for exam day. Take a look.
Just finished my 800th online test question (that’s four of the five AATBS exams). Doing okay–not as well as I’d like–not yet test-ready. [Sigh.] On some questions, seems it’s all too easy to get dragged into answers by personal experience–especially work experience. As they say often, that’s not how you’re supposed to do it. Think [...] Here’s another oft-repeated rule of thumb that bears repeating again: What the board is testing for is basic competence. That means that if you become licensed, they want to be sure you will do no harm. How do they test for this? They ask again and again about clients who haven’t been screened for [...] This from a PsyD: The questions on the practice tests are the same as the ones on the exam. Run the practice questions over and over and over…and over. It’s worth it. On exam day, you’ll know the questions, you’ll know the answers. It’s the same stuff. Hope so. Those questions cost enough.
