At Least It's a Start

I graduated with my MSW degree eight years ago. A year later I moved to this great state of Texas and took the LMSW exam, which I passed immediately.  Why have I never bothered to complete my two years of supervised clinical work?  Good question. Sometimes I think it was birthing and raising the six kids that got in the way, and sometimes I feel like it just might have been pure exhaustion.  The motivation has finally hit me, and next month I will start working on supervision. I'm not starting from scratch, as I already have four months under my belt, but in 20 months, in theory, I will be sitting for the LCSW exam. This scares me more than it should. Perhaps it is the reality that graduate school was a long time ago and the knowledge is not as fresh in my mind as it was when I took my initial exam that scares me. I am sure that I need to begin to study now. I need a strategy. There is a wealth of free knowledge on the Internet and it would be a crime for me to spend hundreds of dollars on study materials that I can get for free. You, my dear readers, get the benefit of my research. This will be based on the exam that will be taken in July 2015. What that means is that the information present will be based on the DSM V, as opposed to DSM IV-TR. Other than that, I am pretty confident that much of the material will be the same as it was on previous exams.  I plan to use the ASWB's outline of KSAs as a guideline, and will present at least one new topic per week, time permitting.   Ready or not, here it starts!
