Passed my exam today with a score of 123/150.
My thoughts:
I thought it was challenging! I think I had an easier time with the practice exam. maybe because there was less pressure on me. My biggest surprise was I would read the question stem and have an idea of what the answer should be but it wasn’t a choice. That really threw me off.
My exam had very little medication and recall. Maybe 7 questions total. I only remember 2 medication questions and 3 on diagnoses. No questions on defense mechanisms. I had zero on developmental theories. The majority were on ethics, the social work process and research.
To study I used-
Pocket prep
The practice exam
The Therapist Development Center
Ray tube
I started studying in early February and in march studied consistently about 5x per week.
Good luck to everyone!
