In last month’s FREE ASWB Exam Prep question blog, we posed a challenging question on child abuse and neglect. This month we are exploring the topic of elder abuse and neglect. Like child abuse and neglect, this is a topic that we can say with near certainty will show up on your ASWB social work licensing exams, whether you are studying for your master's level or clinical level exam. Especially for those of us who do not work with the elderly population, this can be a particularly difficult topic. Our LMSW and LCSW ASWB Social Work Exam programs will prepare you with all of the knowledge and

Child abuse and neglect are topics that we can say with just about absolute certainty will show up on your ASWB social work licensing exams (whether you are preparing for the LMSW or LCSW exam). That's why this week's FREE ASWB practice question covered this very nuanced and challenging topic. This question has proven to be a difficult one for many-did you get it right? Find out below!

Child abuse and neglect are topics that we can say with just about absolute certainty will show up on your ASWB social work licensing exams (whether you are preparing for the LMSW or LCSW exam).

Our ASWB Social Work Exam programs prepare our users thoroughly in these topics so you can go into the exam feeling confident when these types of questions show up. How Might Child Abuse and Neglect Show Up on the Exam? Specific exam questions may cover

This week's free ASWB Practice question explored the often dreaded topic of macro social work.

Much like when we hear about research questions showing up on the exam, seeing the term "macro social work" (or "indirect practice") can send a shiver down our clinically focused, micro social worker spines. I remember dreading these types of questions when I was preparing for my ASWB social work licensing exams (both master's level and clinical). Macro social work is one of the topics most frequently asked about by individuals I coach-especially for those preparing for their licensed master social worker exam where a higher number of these types of questions show up. I work with many

We know research isn't a favorite exam topic amongst most clinicians preparing for their licensure exams, but you are bound to see at least a question or two on research on your ASWB exams. In yesterday's blog, we reviewed the difference between independent variables and dependent variables, including a FREE ASWB practice question to help you get prepared for your LMSW and LCSW exams. Now it's time to see if you answered it correctly! ASWB Practice Question: Independent Variable vs. Dependent Variable A social worker is studying the effects of how different doses of an SSRI affect levels of

As a coach, there are few exam topics I hear people express greater distaste for than the dreaded topic of research & the differences between independent variables vs dependent variables (which you will almost always see show up on the exams). For most of us social workers pursuing clinical licensure in the states, research isn’t something we are engaged in on a day-to-day basis, and those terms we learned in our research methods or statistics courses become less than fresh in our minds as the years go by. While it is unlikely you will see more than a few research questions on your master’s

These two facts combined make it far more likely that test anxiety will be present, and may even be higher than you’ve experienced during past exams. In this month’s anxiety management blog, we’re going to explore some techniques you can employ when anxiety unexpectedly strikes. When Might Anxiety Strike? Anxiety can and likely will appear throughout your studies. And because of its prevalence, this is a topic we’ve

Yesterday we discussed the topic of Self-Determination including a FREE Law and Ethics practice question to help you get prepared for your MFT or LCSW Law and Ethics exam. Let us take a look at the answer and the rationale: Practice Law and Ethics Exam Question: While meeting with a long-term client, a 28-year-old graduate school student, the therapist learns that the relationship the client is in is abusive. The client tells the therapist that her partner was very warm, communicative and kind at the beginning. With time, however, he became increasingly jealous, possessive, and began
