Anyone else studying for LCSW in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker exam in 3 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "LCSW" and working on my weak areas — specifically around LCSW exam.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:
The LCSW exam is more concept-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand LCSW, not just whether you can define it.
My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.
Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.
