Agents of Change was an incredible asset to my clinical journey. Each time I had a question, they were super responsive and helpful. This program helped me with core concepts for both my LSW and LCSW exams, and I highly recommend this for anyone pursuing licensure.
Each of the Agents of Change session’s content areas was equally represented on the test. The techniques for answering questions were on target, and the tips that were woven into the material were extremely timely. I got an 81% on the practice test put out by Agents of Change, so I felt comfortable taking a self – care day the day before I tested.
I passed on the first try! My clinical supervisor shared Agents of Change with me when I was struggling with where to start and getting overwhelmed with the process. From the first lesson, I found it was like a compass. I set my date and followed the process. It was even easier than I expected. Taking practice tests and having the question breakdown was invaluable! Thank you!
The information from Agents of Change is so detailed. All the practice questions helped me study both the material and understand the questions better!
The most helpful thing I learned from Agents of Change was to make sure to identify what stage of the helping process I was in to best answer the question. The short, to-the-point videos from Agents of Change, as well as prioritizing safety, were also very helpful. The timed practice tests helped with pacing too!
I used this AOC 2 years ago for my LMSW and now the LCSW. I can attest that everything in this study program is key to passing the exam. However, since most of the questions are focused on application it is important to remember the social work process: engagement, assessment, planning, intervention, evaluation, and termination. This is most helpful, especially when you do not know the answer. Also important to note, no matter how much you know the content, the questions could be really tricky. So go over the first section a few times on breaking down questions, the social work process, and the 5 Ws. This will help as you get to the practice questions.
I really loved all of Agents of Change. The Agents of Change program was incredibly helpful for me because it gave me a structured and realistic way to prepare for the ASWB exam. What stood out the most was how the material broke down complex concepts into clear explanations that actually made sense. Instead of just memorizing information, I felt like I was learning how to think through the questions, which made a big difference in my confidence.
The practice questions and mock exams were especially valuable. They were very similar to the style of the real exam, which helped me understand how questions are worded and what the exam is really asking. After each practice session, reviewing the rationales helped me see why the correct answer was right and why the others were not.
Another thing that helped me was the way the program organized the study material. It made studying feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
The audio files from Agents of Change and the breakdown of how to approach the questions/vignettes were especially helpful, as I’m an audio learner. The live study groups on Sunday helped build my confidence with engaging in the comment sections and able to provide rationale as to why I chose my answer. Dr. Meagan’s breakdown of questions with the highlighting key points, and also reading the questions twice before answering also helped me feel confident for test day!
The PowerPoints and the teaching style of the videos from Agents of Change were especially helpful in getting my PASS!
The Helping Process (Eat Pie Today), the 5 W’s, and reviewing the recorded study group videos from Agents of Change was especially helpful! Also, completing all the mock exams and reviewing my answers.
