General Overview
We know preparing to take a Social Work Licensure Exam can be a challenging and stressful process. You want to make sure you have all the information you need to succeed, and you are not alone! We believe that you deserve the very best preparation for the exam, which is why we have partnered with Dawn Apgar, the author of the Social Work exam preparation books!

You'll also learn ways to manage test anxiety and have access to a wealth of study materials. This course does not review content; rather, it focuses on strategies aimed at helping you to pass the exam. Content review is included in the course materials.
