What they are saying about the Ventajas Social Work Licensure Examination Manuals:

“ The personal coaching I’ve received from Ventajas for my social work exam has helped me put all the pieces together and see the big picture that I’ve been missing. My coach is very sincere in wanting to help her students and there is a grace and generosity in her sharing of knowledge. Not only have I gained knowledge, but I have also received a great deal of encouragement and support throughout the process, which has kept me going. Allow yourself to swim in Ventajas’ knowledge of the social work profession.”

The information on taking the exam (or any exam, for that matter) will be extremely beneficial. I might even be willing to try after reading it.... The infusion of humor made some pretty dry material more readable (and consequently more "rememberable").... The explanations for answers to questions are very helpful. They let the student get the feel of the thought processes of examiners - and that's the most helpful part of all.

You have given a very clear description of the sequence the reader will go through in order to master and use the material. If we know where we are going, the trip is not nearly so arduous.... The way the whole process is introduced can be most comforting to one anticipating the gueling experience of preparing for licensure. You help the reader see the process of testing in a realistic, nonthreatening manner.... I am finding the manual invaluable in my clinical practice. It reminds me of important material I may have learned but have forgotten and need to remember and use again. It also provides new information which I can begin using.

Part I demystifies the process of item selection and Part II is a very comprehensive overview of content areas to study for the exam. The writing style is clear, concise, and infused with the author's light and humorous examples. I wish I had had this book when I studied for and took the exam in 1983.
