Excellent Stepping Stones

The Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) exam is a stepping stone for many people who want to progress to LCSW. I used this audiobook to learn most of the non-clinical information and I look forward to using a similar audiobook for the LCSW which is where I want to go.

Expertly crafted!

My professor asked me to buy this audiobook to help me understand the practice tests. I could see why immediately. The questions were detailed and the answers explained the chosen option in depth.

The explanations are easy to follow

I went straight for the questions and answers sections and I love how they broke down the explanations into simple to understand details.

How would I have passed this exam?

Without this audiobook I am sure I wouldn’t have been successful on my second try. But I learned a lot during my first try and I couldn’t stand another text book. This audiobook was my lifeline.

The flow of topics made sense

I love the organization of this audiobook because the flow of the topics made studying easy and relevant. Each topic led into the next and I could easily follow the narrator because of this. Kudos.

The narrator is top-notch

I love a good narrator and the one in this audiobook doesn’t put me to sleep but is not over stimulating either. One of the best narrations on the market.

Helps to study while working

Working while studying is quite challenging and my work is too time consuming. Having this audiobook I was able to listen to it while working out, babysitting and on nature trails.

This is an investment

I am invested in my career progression so I will keep this audiobook for future reference. It is worth every penny I used to buy it.
