The most helpful part of Agents of Change was learning how to break down the questions. Learning how to break the questions down into more bite-sized and easy-to-understand parts, such as what type of social worker I am, what setting I am in, whether this is my first time meeting with the client or if we have already been established with the client, etc. really helped me slow down and process the information and take in the question.

Breaking Questions Into Bite-Sized Pieces Made the Exam Manageable

I loved that the Agents of Change program is set up to teach you how to take this specific exam. Teaching content is not the focus, as that is something that should be done through school and practice. Learning how to break down the questions and how to get through them in a timely manner is necessary and this program covered that.

Learning How to Take the Exam Made the Difference

I am a visual learner, so the video breakdowns of each topic, the additional resources and the short quizzes with rationales from Agents of Change were great! I also bought the flashcards and subscribed to the podcast so that I could review any topics I didn't feel strong about!

Videos, Quizzes, and Resources Made Studying Fit My Learning Style

I learned about Agents of Change a while ago. I obtained the free version but I was not committed to study until summer 2025. I purchased the full version and I found it amazing. I liked how Meagan teaches how to break down questions, and elimination process. Although I failed by 3 points of passing scoring score my second attempt in January, I passed my third attempt on 7/14. I learned so much with this program and I have recommended two of my friends .

Breaking Down Questions Helped Me Finally Pass the Exam

The Agents of Change practice test and rationale were super helpful. I also like the tips that were used in some of the videos as well. I don't think I'll forget "EAt, PIE"

Practice Tests, Rationales, and Memory Tricks Made the Difference

The flexibility of the learning format in Agents of Change was the most helpful for me. I could study anytime and anywhere even while sitting in my car waiting to pick up my kids from school. Being able to learn at my own pace made it possible to fit exam preparation into my busy schedule as a working mom. It helped me stay consistent with my studying, and ultimately gave me the confidence I needed to pass my clinical board exam.

Flexible Learning Helped This Working Mom Pass With Confidence

Going into my LSW exam preparation, I was overwhelmed with stress and had no idea where to begin. I had previously used another study program, but its teaching style just didn’t work for me. Even though it meant spending more money, I decided to switch to Agents of Change—and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. The licensure exam can feel incredibly intimidating, but Agents of Change broke everything down into simple, easy-to-understand language. The visuals, memory tricks, and practical explanations made the material click in a way that other programs never did. I was so confident on exam day that I finished with 40 minutes to spare, knowing I had passed. I can’t thank the team enough for creating such an effective program. I look forward to using Agents of Change again when it’s time to prepare for my Clinical exam!

Agents of Change Turned Exam Stress Into Confidence

The Agents of Change topics/courses with video, slides, and practice questions. All of it was spot on with the exam. I felt very prepared.

Videos, Slides, and Practice Questions Matched the Exam Perfectly

I found the Agents of Change videos breaking down the developmental theories/ stages and then the practice questions after to review the most helpful! During my exam, I broke down each question just like the videos and this helped with my critical thinking! I also attended the live training sessions, being able to ask questions live was very useful if I did not understand the rationale behind an answer.

Breaking Down Questions Strengthened My Critical Thinking and Confidence

The breakdown Agents of Change videos of each section that will be on the exam really helped me the most. To be able to listen to it while working out or on the go helped the most and having access to a practice exam helped me feel more prepared.
