Understand what type of learner you are. This will help you develop effective studying skills.  \n2. Get a study group if you struggle with studying alone or need accountability. Working in a group can provide structure and support.  \n3. If English is your second language, read the questions out loud until you are sure nothing is getting lost in translation  \n1. If possible study with someone who English is their first language and compare understanding.  \n2. Remember you will never feel completely ready for the exam (see readiness indicator)  \n4. Study 1-2 hours a day for six weeks.  \n1. After every study session, do a summarization for yourself or group on what was covered. It should not be memorization but a synthesis of the materials covered.  \n2. As you get closer to the exam, study for 4 hours to simulate the actual exam experience. Remember, the exam is a marathon not a sprint.  \n5. Do not memorize (Recall questions are not that many on exam)  \n6. Taking too many practice exams does not ensure readiness, it builds confidence. Know the difference.  \n7. Avoid telling too many people when you are taking your exam---why add this pressure to a high-stake situation.  \n8. Do not use multiple study guides, and test preparation tools. Less is more in this case. Avoid confusing strategies.  \n9. Trying to read your MSW texts will be overwhelming. Get a comprehensive study guide and use this instead.  \n10.Do not study from sample questions. Use sample questions for the following:  \n1. Practicing test taking strategies  \n2.

There is ample amount of time to take this exam.  \n3. Do not leave any question blank– You have a 25% chance of getting it right.  \n4. Treat each question like an individual client. They are not related to eachother  \n5. Always ask yourself-What is the question asking—then go to the answer choices.  \n6. Remember the key words and qualifiers  \n7. The examination is about your Knowledge, Skills and Abilities—in standardized format.  \n8. Do not get misled by social work jargon or language. Read the entire questions and answers thoroughly.  \n9. Do not fight with the exam—its wasted energy and will only frustrate you.  \n10.Answer the question and move on to the next one.  \n11.Remember practice principles and order of practice  \n12.Do not diagnose when insufficient information is provided in question.  \n13.Watch out for distractors in the questions. Some information is not relevant to the scenario.  \n14.There is only one answer-Choose it.  \n15.Most of the time FIRST CHOICE=RIGHT CHOICE.  \nTips for Managing Test Taking Anxiety  \n1. Accept that you will feel anxious  \n2. Settle down and Relax  \n3. Breathe, Breathe, Breath some more---Deep Breathing.  \n4. Find your personal stress reliever and implement it.  \n5. Think Positive Thoughts and push away negative thoughts and doubts  \n6. If your anxiety is severe/crippling, get professional help. It makes a difference  \n7. Take a break from the screen if you are feeling overwhelmed.  \n8. Visualize your preparation plan  \n9. Visit the test center prior to day of the exam so you know what the environment looks and feels like  \n10.Celebrate your accomplishment so far. You have completed your MSW, or completed your hours towards your LCSW.  \n11.Have perspective—If you do not pass, it does not mean you are not a competent social worker. Most importantly, you can take the exam again.","cbCairMtU3KQcy6z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairMtU3KQcy6z","pdf",281069,"English","# Tips for Preparing for the Exam\n## Tips on what to do during the Exam\n## Tips for Managing Test Taking Anxiety","[{\"question\":\"How should you decide which study skills to use?\",\"answer\":\"First, understand what type of learner you are.
