February 2, 2009 | exam day

There's a good post-test summary from a fellow exam-prep blogger here. Passed and passing the wisdom along. One tip for the 21st century: Seems they take your picture when you arrive at the testing center (at least in CA they do).

Overload

January 30, 2009 | meta | quiz | misc

Just read a bunch about delirium, dementia, amnesia, substance abuse, so taking a blogging break. It's a habit I'm trying to catch: blog-as-study-break rather than blog-as-procrastination-tool. Or tools--

Free Social Work Test Prep?

January 23, 2009

Yeah, I bought the full package--books, CDs, workshops, online practice tests. (There's also phone question questioning I've yet used.) Do I regret it? Is it possible to get fully prepped for the licensing exam without laying out that kind of cash?

Mindfulness v. Test Anxiety

January 21, 2009 | less stress

Just studying can be anxiety making. 'Cause you don't know the stuff yet. 'Cause the vignettes are all so grim. Just because. Test day? The same, but more.

More Social Work Flash Cards

January 19, 2009 | flash cards

More flash cards here. Some of these are actually pretty good. I've heard it suggested that, even if you buy fancy company cards (e.g., AATBS), you ought consider writing out each of the cards you don't know at first go-through.

The Social Work Exam Prep Blog

January 18, 2009 | meta | misc

Now I tell me. Using Google's keyword tool, it becomes clear that I may have misnamed this blog (assuming I've been putting it together to be read and used and not just to divert my own test--I mean, exam--anxiety).

Mnemonics for DSM

January 16, 2009 | materials

Memorizing the DSM in full is strictly unnecessary. Exam questions tend to be more about a small set of differentials (Schizophrenia ve. Schizoaffective D/O, PTSD v. Acute Stress). But, then again, why not get some details down?
