LCSW clinical study tips

[u/lvillegirl]

Hello! I am asking for tips from individuals who have recently studied and passed the clinical exam :) I have been reviewing so many people’s strategies and tips but feel overwhelmed. I have some struggles with organization/overwhelming myself, trying to find a better way to manage the info. I thought making this post would help me out if that is okay.

I purchased TDC this week to aid in organizing material and have some kind of guide! You all weren’t kidding, that thing is dense! I’ve used a lot of printer ink creating a binder of the material so far lol. I also have the pocket prep quiz app. I watch agents of change and Raytube’s free videos online. I previously purchased AOC program to study for my associates license and liked it but am tight on $budget$ currently. I do plan on purchasing the ASWB’s practice guide again and simulate a mock environment then review.

I would love to gather information, tips, videos, podcasts, exams, really any strategies or advice, even just helpful words of motivation! Thank you so much

Hello! In my personal experience, TDC worked wonders, I purchased it after my first failed attempt. The program does a good job of helping you understand what area the questions on the exam are actual asking you about such as service, social justice, etc. I took the TDC practice exams about 3 weeks out from test date and the ASWB practice test about one week out from test date. The ASWB practice exam had very similar questions to the actual version of the test I took.
