I’m definitely counting this as a book. I’ve spent the last four months reading it and preparing for my licensure exam, and I’m so glad to be done. Now onto the flashcards I made while reading this textbook. See you in another four months

After taking the exam - I felt this over-prepared me, which I guess I’d rather have. The practice questions were not great, but the content was thorough and I just found free practice questions online. I passed my exam, and would study with this again - so I guess that’s a win from me!

I hated every second of reading this book. I read this book multiple times. I rewrote sections of this book for notes. I want to destroy this book and throw it in a furnace. But...I passed my LCSW exam first try, so I can't be too angry at it. never again.

content was good, practice questions are nothing like the aswb practice test.
