LICSW Supervision and Test Preparation for Washington Social Workers

Nationally, about 3 out of 4 social workers pass their licensure exams (some local areas/schools have significantly lower pass rates). The 4th social worker who doesn’t pass these exams is left with worse career prospects and lower pay over the course of their careers. These are not bad social workers. A lot of people don’t test well, either because of test anxiety, because their minds just don’t work that way, or because the test- like most tests- is culturally biased. There’s no need to let a test define the next several decades of our careers as social workers. You know your ability to help others. Overcome this barrier to allow your career options to span as wide and high as possible.

Jack Kilpatrick, a Washington LICSW, has extensive experience in supervising social workers for various levels of licensure. Jack has also developed practice tests that have strong fidelity to ASWB test content. Beware of randomly sourced practice tests. The social work licensure exam is not a bunch of random clinical information. NASW/ASWB have specific social and political agendas, they want social work practice to adhere to these agendas, and the exam questions reflect this. For social work licensure candidates, the key to passing the exam is to decode the exam content. Some gifted test takers are able to do this unconsciously. For the rest of us, consciously learning the code is the key to passing.

Jack can provide you the supervision you need for licensure. while maintaining focus on test content, so that you can pass the exam and get the license you have worked hard for.
