Professional Licensing and Exam Preparation

1.    I learned that to successfully passed the Clinical exam or the Advanced Generalist exam (for the Macro designation), both given by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB). A passing score is 75% ,which I received a 73% on the practice exam, so I have some studying to do.

2.    In addition the WSU/SSW  – Office of Continuing Education & Professional Development typically offers a 1 day licensing preparation workshop in the fall and spring.  Approx. fee is $125.00 includes material

3.    The application process is very lengthy to fill out and it takes about 6-8 weeks for processing which I found to be  long  time.

4.    LIMITED MASTER’S SOCIAL WORK LICENSES ARE VALID FOR ONE YEAR AND CAN BE

RENEWED FOR NOT MORE THAN SIX (6) YEARS. Im not sure what this means what happens after the 6th year?

I think all the information learned is useful for future social workers because we have to abide by the requirements before obtaining a lincense.  

I chose the following site below because I think they were informational to talk about the requirements and some questions that could possibly be on the clinical exam.
