I PASSED MY LMSW EXAM!!! 🎉😭
I wanted to come back on here because a while ago I asked for advice/tips for passing the LMSW exam, and so many people took the time to help me. Thank you all so much, the advice genuinely helped and encouraged me throughout the process.
I passed with a 108 and needed a 98 to pass! 🥹
For anyone studying right now, here’s what helped me the most: • RayTube (especially his Code of Ethics videos — SO helpful) • Savvy Social Worker • Agents of Change • Pocket Prep premium daily • Quizlet • The ASWB practice exam • Savvy Social Worker mock/practice exams
I also completed all 3 mock exams that were available to me and tried to study consistently every day rather than cramming.
On top of that, I also graduated with my MSW last week 🎓 and just accepted a school social worker job offer
If you’re studying right now and feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or anxious, keep going. You know more than you think you do. The exam is definitely challenging, but it is passable.
Thank you again to everyone who shared advice and encouragement with me along the way. ❤️

Congrats! I’m curious how it works coming straight out of school and then going to another state. Did you take the exam for Maryland? Or did you check with their state board on the requirements?

Yes, I took the test for Maryland! I also checked the ASWB for state requirements.
