You know people who have passed this
exam. Even if you're not friends with any of them. You went to
school with them. They are your co-workers. Track them down and
talk to them. They have ideas. They have materials.
Maybe, if you're lucky, you can find a set of books that hasn't
been scrawled in. A set of CDs. Maybe someone has ready-made index
cards (though making them yourself is considered better learning).
Get 'em. Look 'em over. Use them. The exam is updated, information
changes, but not by much. Materials that are only a few years old
are going to be just fine.
Then try this: The
Social Work Podcast. Out of the apparent goodness of his heart,
LCSW Jonathan Singer, a doctoral student at University of
Pittsburgh, has been posting mini-lectures about "all things social
work" since early '07. Podcasts cover, in easy-to-digest,
half-hour-or-so chunks, lots of stuff you need to know for the
exam.
I've got them in an iPod via iTunes and listen as I commute. Start
with the beginning. It
unfolds not unlike a high-end test prep course. Kind of
awesome.
