Thank God I saw your video. I have never heard of the "farm, grits, road" reference. I test in a month and this helped me.

I take mine next month, I’m so nervous. It’s like a weight on my shoulders.
But I really do appreciate people who give tips on how to take this test because this is the non-glamorize version of finishing grad school I don’t think people understand the amount of work comes with being a clinical social worker

She mentioned Phillip Luttrell videos. Dr. Haskell is another great resource.

thanks for sharing your experience! I've been googling terms I don't fully understand, and that really helps! Just reading it from a different perspectives seems to help it sink in.

I also watched Megan Mitchell’s videos on YouTube a lot- she’s great in addition to Phillip Luttrell!

I failed my test today. I am devastated and most of my test questions were on Marco level too I didn't take any macro classes because I was a clinical Concentration.

Just wanted to let everyone know I passed, first try! I watched this video which really resonated. Took my exam in the afternoon. Also best study tools for me were the practice exam and videos from Phil and resolution today.

🎉Many CONGRATS on passing the LMSW Exam!👏🎊 I know someone who failed the first time by one or two answers. Ugh! It totally sucks that you have to pay to retake it. I feel like if a person gets that close, it proves that he/she knows the material. Though I graduated three years ago, I plan to take the exam just keep putting it off (Pre-covid).
