Today I review 5 questions that have varying clinical considerations. I provide insight on the type of questions: Recall, Reasoning, or Application, as well as apply the SFAREAFI as applicable.

Tutoring schedule: PhilintheGaps.as.me/
The ASWB Masters/Clinical Exam is a test that was made to determine whether or not an individual's level of knowledge of social work in a clinical setting is sufficient. You will have four hours to complete 170 multiple choice questions, including 20 pre-test questions, that test your knowledge in Human Behavior, Diversity Issues, Diagnosis and Assessment, Psychotherapy, Communication, Therapeutic Relationships, Professional Ethics, Clinical Supervision, Practice Evaluation, Service Delivery, and Clinical Practice and Management. To register, you must have at least a Master's degree from a social work program, and two years of clinical social work experience.

Ashley Williams this is all I used this go round. One of my big take aways, schedule the exam during the time that you function with. I am not a morning person. I always scheduled the test in the morning. This time I took the test at 3pm! I also purchased the ASWB practice exam and I bombed it (missed it by 15). I studied the rationales and broke the questions down as Phil suggested. 💪🏾❤️

I failed my first attempt by 7 points in Aug. I had my 2nd attempt on the 13th of this month & am so excited to share I passed!!!! I am now an LMSW. Your videos & your podcast definitely aided me. Not only in slowing down, taking my time, breaking down the questions, using the acronyms & other techniques you suggest, but also in being more compassionate & understanding with myself along the process of trying to study for this type of exam. So right, gotta respect this exam. Others responses have been so reassuring, empowering, & inspiring as well! Thank you so much for what you do I appreciate it so much! -Brittany N.

I took a practice test for my LSW exam before studying and then another after a month of studying with pocket prep and the Apgar book. My score only improved by 5 points. I was really upset because I put a lot of time/effort into studying and it made me feel like I was totally unprepared for my test which was only a day a way. I spent what time I had left watching your videos and on test day I not only passed but my score went up by 13 points. Thank you so much for these videos!! I’ll be suggesting them to everyone!

My problem is this…for example…question 1 is unclear whether everything is happening in current time frame. One could assume the 26 year old lesbian female was not directly under intake and is sitting in the office which would make C the best answer.

@PhilintheGaps Жыл бұрын

I appreciate you rocking with me 🤓I can definitely understand your perspective, however at the same time as social workers we need to help our clients regardless of our own views. Therefore, even though the social worker is uncomfortable with lesbian couples having children, it does not state they lack the information on how to adopt children, so they would need to help the client.
