These questions can be miserable to answer. Here's the trick to knowing what to do first or next:
[1] Acknowledge client's feelings
[2] Assess situation
[3] Refer (always to the highest educated person: neurologist over generalist)
[4] Educate
[5] Advocate
[6] Facilitate
[7] Intervene
One, or more, of these choices will be in the answer selections. Know this order, and look for the order within the answer choices. ALWAYS acknowledge a client's feelings or emotions first. Write this order down on the scrap paper the exam proctors will give you.

Thank you so much for your blog and this super tip. I passed the LCSW exam in Illinois yesterday on my first try!
Thank you !
Yes! Practice with taking exams. I recommend the LEAP and ASWB practice exams. I passed the test LCSW on my first try yesterday!
I personally need a trainer or coach to help me. I just can't seem to push myself that extra mile without support. I dug up these guys: http://www.therapistdevelopmentcenter.com/exam-prep/social-work I read that they have coaches to help you free with their course. Real people on the "other end" is exactly what I need. Wish me luck!
Good information! Since I am also busy with my Bar Exam Prep these days, I don’t get time to go through such informative and helpful posts. I am working as a paralegal in a reputed firm and I wish to work as an associate here after I clear my exam.
