Video Test Prep

Some variety in your ASWB exam prep can't hurt. SWTP's growing a collection of question walk-through videos. Each takes a social work licensing exam practice question and takes getting to the correct answer step by step.

Also browse the entire channel. It contains lots of prep-helping material including old time footage from people like Carl Rogers, plus new exam tip videos from various sources.

The more practice, advice, and knowledge you can fit before exam day, the better. Enjoy.

ASWB Social Work Exam Prep Video

Seen this? Free ASWB exam tutoring from Rachael Haskell via YouTube. Haven't watched it, but poked around here and there and it looks solid. Can't hurt, if you've got four hours to spare (!).

You never know which exam prep is going to be most valuable when you get to exam day. Some practice question, that podcast, or maybe this video. Time will tell.

YouTube Exam Prep

Sometimes you just want to sit back and be given some information. Strategies for passing the social work exam, acronyms, a little how-to. For when that mood hits, here's something to fill the space: a series of tutoring videos from YouTuber and exam tutor, Phillip Lutrell.

Within the videos, get walked through a series of practice questions (LMSW/LCSW) level, with Lutrell walking through best practices for passing-minded exam takers.

Maybe try an A/B test by taking a practice test before and after watching the videos. Did the wisdom in the videos help? It should. Are you ever-more ready to pass the social work licensing exam? Yes, you are.

Happy prepping. Happy holidays. And good luck on the exam!
