ASWB Intermediate Exam
Apr. 12th, 2004 10:47 pmI have spent the night answering sample questions for the Intermediate ASWB exam off of a website that
myskin gave me the password to. (She bought a week's worth and has a few days left. THANKS!)
I haven't picked up a book or a piece of paper and have been scoring between 60% and 70%. This of course leaves me feeling incredibly paranoid of failing the test. One would think a more rational person would be thinking, "Hey, not bad, almost passing without any review after several years!" but I never claimed to be rational (although there is more person here than there was two years ago - wahoo happy fat). I get this crazy test anxiety and it's even more present when I know that the test costs a ton of money /and/ I absolutely need it in order to get a social work job in Boston. La la la.
I know that this website isn't even endorsed by the ASWB, so it's likely that the questions are not exactly the same, but I can't help feeling nervous. I would feel better if I was scoring a little higher, like, say, 75%. I guess this means I should start getting off my ass and going through my notes from my MSW program. Ugh. I do very much hate to study, have terrible study skills, and even worse school discipline. Maybe when my stolen website access is gone on Thursday I will start hauling my big binders o' notes to some coffee shop and just read until my eyeballs fall out.
Okay, not really. I have pretty eyeballs. :)

Date: 2004-04-14 03:37 pm (UTC)1. Jennifer and I will be in Boston from May 1 - May 9. We should be in Columbus every other weekend after that, including Memorial Day weekend.
2. However, Memorial Day Weekend is the weekend we're packing the apartment, so it might be a little crazy then. However, if you want to be with two crazy women packing an apartment, be our guest. ;)
What's your schedule look like? Maybe we could take a little mini-road-trip to, like, Detroit or Ann Arbor or Chicago while you're here. If you give me set dates (pref. a weekend), we'll set it up!
