Look at the last sentence of the question - many times too much detail - which can be misleading and put you on the wrong path. Try not to think too much on the questions - just go with the information in the question - it's difficult not to make assumptions when your'e reading the question. Take the practice questions on line it gives you a sense of what the exam is looking for and try to figure out why the answer is the answer it may help with a quesiton on the exam. I made flashcards for the DMS dxs. this helped with the assessment portion. Good luck - there were a few good postings on this site with some good advice that I found helpful.

In that letter will be a form that guides you on how to set up an appointment. It's done online. The fee is $75. Ironically enough, I did that this morning in Paramus, NJ. I had set up my fingerprinting time online about a week ago and then went this morning. I'm not sure what my next step is. I might have to send the receipt I got this morning to the NJ Board, but I haven't even looked at it just yet. They will not issue you a formal License certificate without getting fingerprinted and a criminal background check. I'm not sure how long that takes once they receive the fingerprints. It's just an arduous and expensive process. Hope that makes sense and helps.
Crazy as I am, I'm scheduling my C exam for Nov. So the process begins again!

I didnot like the write up for SWES( the small book) so I used their question book for questions. I used the complete swk guide for reading and I did not cards..( girl I have alot of them...it took me like 1 1/2 to get through them) but it was more helpful then reading over a giant book with social work terms...also I tired to zone in on what the exam writers are always asking. If you need any more help let me know...are you trying to take the exam anytime soon?

First try to familiarize yourself with theories. I try to study 5 days a week for 3 hour a day, also I utilize audio books ( from LEAP). Try to take a practice test at least once a week just to see where your weaknesses are? Study your weak areas.

At 6:07pm on August 23, 2009, Natalie said…: I took the LMSW exam a few months ago the exam is very generalized; "don't think what you would do in everyday practice but what the social work literature would suggest you do". I have purchased many books over the last few months. I would suggest that you purchase The Complete Guide to Social Work; the book is very easy to read and not as expensive. The book seem to be very helpful as a guideline, you should do additional studying and focus on group practice, human behavior, direct and indirect practice and clinical practice. I am not familiar with SocialWorkExam.com material but I will be utilizing their services in the future. My major advice is to practice test questions, learn how to zone in on what the questions are really asking and you will do well on the LMSW exam.
