Hi! I don't usually post here because I've not been in school for awhile, but I had to poke my head in and help out a fellow social worker! If possible, try to get your hands on some practice questions (either from the 'official' review book or elsewhere) prior to the test because it gives you a really good idea of what to expect. I found that to be the most helpful thing I did when I was prepping for the exam. The best advice I got about it was to treat it like you would any other standardized test, like the SAT - it doesn't test your actual ability as a social worker, it tests your ability to take the test. That's the other reason why practice questions are important. Sometimes the answer that reflects what you would actually do in the field is not the answer the test wants.
