Synopsis

Students and social workers preparing for the social work advanced generalist licensure exam will find an invaluable study resource in the Social Work ASWB® Advanced Generalist Exam Guide. Written by a prominent social work leader and trainer for social work licensing exams in the United States, this guide is based on years of time-tested exam prep workshops conducted by the author. It mirrors the ASWB Advanced Generalist ""Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities"" upon which the exam is based and incorporates information from the DSM®-5.

The guide is comprehensive yet focused on the material most likely to be included on the exam, so readers can prioritize information as they study. A self-assessment section helps identify strengths and weaknesses before tackling the material. The author shares her extensive knowledge of the exam by providing useful test-taking strategies and tips for overcoming test anxiety. The 170-question practice test at the end of the guide (with explanations of the correct answers) mirrors the actual exam in both length and structure. Content includes human development, diversity, assessment and planning, direct and indirect (micro and macro) practice, and professional values and ethics. This book will be a valuable asset for social workers throughout the United States and Canada.

Key Features:

• Developed by a highly respected educator of social work licensure candidates
• Covers all of the content areas on the advanced generalist examination, including new content added in 2015
• Begins with a self-assessment section to help identify areas of strength and weakness
• Offers a wealth of test-taking tips and strategies to foster exam confidence
