Mira passed the social work licensing exam. Here's her advice to everyone who is still studying:
I would highly recommend the NASW Code of Ethics, when in doubt I remembered to use that to guide my answer choices. These are the core of every choice the social worker makes in any scenario.
Also understanding the overall responsibilities of social workers will do no matter what role they are in. Practice, practice, practice the questions and look at the resources and rationales for the questions. SWTP has so many questions to practice from. I took all the practice exams and even took them as a practice quiz or to practice the questions. It depends on the person, but you might want to time yourself on how long it takes to take the whole exam if you haven't gone before and don't know about it.
IF you can get accommodations, get them! They aren't a bad thing; they really did help me. Especially with being able to have snacks and more time because English is my second language.
Lastly, I highly recommend taking a break where you can and stretching throughout the exam. It can be stressful to take the exam and sit there for a whole four hours without getting up.
Also, don't study too hard before the exam day because I learned that it could cause you to burnout quicker. Make sure you remind yourself of the past successes you have made, and that this exam does not define you! You made it so far and worked so hard to get to where you are!
Congratulations, Mira, and thanks for writing up your suggestions!
