I personally should've studied more. I bombed the research quiz- 58%. I felt confident as I scored 100% on personality disorders and treatment interventions (beginning, middle, termination). Overall I was scoring okay. So I just went in with positive thoughts, confidence, and prayer. I've done my job as a hospital social worker for 11 years. Plus I worked two years in a group home and as a case manager and 1.5 years in an inpatient psychiatric facility. I had to remind myself to use my past experiences to answer the questions, too. I have the knowledge- pull from it. I had a great strategy for myself: read each question twice and take my time. I had four hours. Use the time to my advantage. It worked, but I only scored 69% 118/170. The test needs to allow a snack. I was shaking at the end and dying of hunger. So done! Thank you Amanda Rowan!
