Examination Preparation

Preparation for the MFT or LCSW licensing examinations should begin early.  Because the exam features a general scope of clinical knowledge, being well rounded helps.  All education gained from graduate programs and work experience is important when preparing for the exam.  If you have limited experience with certain demographics or subject matter areas, additional study is recommended.

Developing a strategy towards taking the examination is a great way to prepare.  Supervisors can assist you by providing useful feedback.  Forming study groups with candidates of different expertise broadens your knowledge.  Also, studying past cases and creating sample “vignettes” like the ones used in the actual examination can prove to be advantageous.

We now offer the new MFT Examination Study Guide and LCSW Examination Study Guide online.  Inside you will find preparation strategies, exam information, and helpful practice questions.
