Josh used SWTP…and now he's got this Licensed Master Social Worker certificate to hang up. If you want to study the way he studied, here's what he suggests.

Take one full length 4 hour exam 5 days a week 1 month before your test date to prepare. Learning how to sit for 4 hours and read through each question is imperative to passing the test.

So, one grueling week going through all the material, then a month to review. Then pass.

You may not have four free hours on a weekday to squeeze in a practice test. Another similar way to go, reserve four hours on five consecutive weekends to run a full-length practice test and review through the week that follows.

Others might break exams into manageable sections, doing maybe an hour at a time here and there. You know you. You know what will work best for you.

However you plan to structure your studying, it all starts with creating an SWTP account, getting our free study guide, and ordering up some exams (they'll appear instantly (or near-instantly) on the Your Exams page).

Happy studying and good luck on the exam!

From the SWTP inbox:

Thanks so much - I am very happy to tell you that I took the exam in Boston 4/27 and passed. My third try.  The SWTP questions were terrific. Very very helpful and comparable in difficulty to the questions on the actual licensing exam. I practiced hundreds if not thousands before I found out about SWTP.  You can be sure that I will pass that along to anyone who is studying for the master's exam.

I believe practicing the SWTP questions is what helped the most.  And reading the exam questions at least twice before answering was certainly the key.

And the links to the additional material was also very useful. 

So, really - thanks from another grateful LICENSED social worker.

Congratulations to all who have recently passed the ASWB exam! Here are a few celebratory emails from the SWTP inbox:

I passed my ASWB clinical exam on the first try. The practice tests and the DSM booster were so helpful. I was able to target study areas and find common themes to the way questions were asked and what the test was looking for. So glad I found this resource and I've recommended it to my friends who are studying.
