The LCSW exam is not driven by learned facts, only 10% of the exam tests for factual knowledge, 90% of the exam is on critical thinking.  I do have some good study materials for the LCSW exam and will be happy to share those with you if you are interested.

>> Good Afternoon,
>> My name is Shikha and I will be graduating on May 13 with my masters in social work. Does anyone have any experience with taking the LMSW exam? Does anyone have any study material or any advice on how to prepare for it and any accessibility barriers? Also I would like to move out of Georgia to Maryland or DC so how would I do that. Should I start looking for jobs in Maryland or DC. I am not a good test taker so is it OK to just have a MSW or do I need to get the licensure.
