As always, we will conclude with a FREE practice question for those of you preparing for your social work licensing exams.
On October 24th, after months of planning and discussion, we launched our first private Facebook study group for our LMSW and LCSW users. We weren’t sure what to expect or how many of our users would be interested. Now, just over 3 weeks in, we are excited to share we already have over 500 group members, and it is growing every day! The first couple days the posts rolled in slowly as people became acclimated to what the group is and how to use it. Now, the page is flooded daily with people asking questions about some of the trickier content, discussing specific practice questions from the programs, asking for and lending support to their peers, and sharing their stories of success as we have people passing their exams every day!

In my last two blogs on test anxiety, I provided psychoeducation about the benefits of moderate levels of anxiety, as well as guidelines for how to utilize self-compassion to temper anxiety when it becomes debilitating. The goal of this month’s blog is to help you identify some common and unhelpful behaviors you may be engaging in when anxiety gets the best of you, and identify strategies to shift away from these behaviors and instead prepare for your exam more effectively and confidently.
