I studied for the exam the first time on my own reading about theories and taking several on line exams. Unfortunately it wasn't enough and I failed it. I was determined to pass the second time. I ordered the LEAP guide as well as a few others. I read the LEAP book 3x took the test on the book 2x and the online exam as well. Luckily that seemed to be the right technique as I was able to pass with a good score. Thank You! It feels wonderful to have this hurdle behind me. Good luck !

I utilized both the LEAP Comprehensive Study Guide and the Audio CD's to successfully pass the LMSW exam on the 1st try! I read, outlined, and reviewed the study guide three times, and I listened to each CD at least five times without distractions. The material was presented in a clear and concise manner that made it easy for me to comprehend. I even contacted the LEAP Team and they were more than willing to provide me with guidance that I definitely applied. Thank you!
To whom it may concern…
I really liked the combo of the test taking booklet and the CD's. I used them exclusively to study from and my score on the test at the back of the book was 122 and within 4 points on the actual exam.
In terms of content the study guide gives you a well rounded review and the answer rationale helps with identifying the thought process the test demands. My experience is that this thought process is more of a challenge than the facts.
LEAP is all you need to pass the exam, and I had the same experience on the LMSW and LCSW. Great job! Thanks….

I took the Masters exam on June 4, 2016. I ordered the study guide and the DSM 5 diagnostic book. I studied the guide for roughly 6 weeks prior to taking the exam and passed more than 10 points above the score I was required to get in order to pass. The material is easy to follow, read, and comprehend. The material is organized in a logical way that flows nicely as you are studying through the book. For me, it made it like reading one giant social work textbook that held all the important/significant information from my classes at my fingertips. I still look through the book and use the DSM 5 book in practice. I'm preparing now to take the Clinical exam and plan on buying the updated materials. Good luck!
I used both the CD's and the LEAP Guide to pass both my master's and clinical exams. If you take the time to read the book and listen to the CD's well in advance before you take the exam, then you will greatly increase your odds of passing. I can say that these materials helped me pass twice!
I recently passed the Master level Social Work licensing exam. I feel that the study guide I bought from Licensing ExAm Preparation Services, LLC played a large role in my passing the exam. I highly recommend this company and the study guides they produce.
After many years and several attempts, I FINALLY passed the LCSW exam!!!
I attribute successfully passing the LCSW exam to a strong support system, a positive mantra "I GOT THIS", and the LEAP materials. I used the online practice exams, audio and written materials to help prepare for the exam. Thank you to my family, friends and colleagues for all of your support through my testing journey!
Where do I begin? If it was not for pray and the LEAP book I don't know if I would have passed on my first try. So when I first scheduled for my test I scheduled for June 23 on May 9th. As the weeks went by I decided to check to make sure what day I was scheduled for as I was unsure if I scheduled it for the 23rd or 24th. It turned out that I wasn't scheduled at all. So I called the Pearson customer service and she had informed me that indeed that I was not scheduled at all. She also informed me that the 23rd was gone but the 17th of June had just open up. That would only give me a week worth of studying. And I needed to pass the test before the month of July so that I could job hunt for the whole month of July as a LMSW. So I studied literally for a week and and took the leap practice exam A and B as well as the ASWB practice exam. I also utilized the pocket prep app to practice questions. Not only that I spoke to Ms Kym and she gave me tips on how to answer the first, next, and best questions. I also used breathing exercises to help manage my anxiety. On June 17th, 2017, I was happy to see that the congratulations come across the screen. I was required to pass the test with 95 correct answers and I passed with 104. And this was with a week of studying. When I get ready to take my LCSW I will also be using LEAP as my study material. Thank you Ms. Kym for making such an incredible book.

I live in NY and recently passed the LCSW exam on the second try. I did not use the LEAP manual the first try, due to going to boot camp training for one day. They sell you a thin book and a pipe dream. I do not recommend the Boot Camp; it tries to teach tricks and short cuts, rather than giving you good study material. Do not be fooled by the Boot Camp, there are no short cuts. The LEAP system is the most comprehensive method of study. There were no tricks, just good old study material.
Today I passed the clinical licensing exam and I have LEAP to thank! I purchased the comprehensive study guide along with the DSM-5 study guide. I studied for 2 months–Read through the material, made notecards, and completed the case scenarios in the DSM 5 study guide. I studied from other material previously that was more confusing than helpful. So glad that I came across LEAP! Kym was also very helpful when I called her a week before taking my exam to review. If your considering which study materials to buy do yourself a favor and purchase LEAP products because you won't regret it!

Basically, I read the material, listened to the audio, and reviewed what I learned from master's program. My only suggestion for those who are preparing to pass their license exam.
William Jordan
I have horrible test anxiety so I needed the BEST material out there in order to reduce the anxiety. I was hesitant about LEAP but I gave it a chance. I read it 3 times like it was recommended and purchased the DSM diagnostic book as well. When the "Pass" appeared I was ecstatic. LEAP puts everything you need to know in a book. Passed the first time too!

I took the live class in Phoenix, AZ in 05/2015, around the time I graduated with my MSW. I heeded the advice about taking the exam as soon as possible after graduation, although I was disappointed to find out that, in Oregon, the LMSW exam was not required before accumulating hours toward the LCSW. I was also a bit nervous because I have since worked in child welfare rather than in a clinical setting.
I began studying in January, and requested permission from the board to take the exam early (at 75 supervision hours). I read through the LEAP guide multiple times as suggested and I even ordered the DSM-5 summary guide. I did use a wide variety of study materials including the ASWB practice exam and practice exams available through other sites. It was all worth it, though, because on May 1st, I passed the clinical exam on my first try. I took two hours to answer the questions and took 30 minutes to review my answers.
The end result: I needed to answer 99 questions correctly and I had 114! The relief! My hands were shaking so bad, I had to sit in the car for at least ten minutes to regain my composure. The exam was pretty challenging as I kept vacillating between two answers and I had to fight my own anxiety and negative self talk. Now I am well on my way to private practice. Dreams do come true. If I can do it, so can you!

I passed my Masters Licensing Exam today. I used the L.E.A.P Comprehensive Study Guide. I am too thrilled! L.E.A.P is the way to go. The study guide covers all content on the ASWB masters outline. Loved the fact the practice test questions have detailed answer summaries. The practice test questions are very similar to the actual questions on the exam. I am so proud of myself. I promise you, you will pass if you use L.E.A.P products. Highly recommend:)

I would have not passed this exam without the support and book that I purchased from Leap! My first test I failed by a few questions which discouraged me from retaking it because I really thought I did well. I researched to find material that may help me and I ran across Leap. I was still not confident, but I was desperate for any help I could get. Leap advised me to read many times and then call before my test. I reviewed the book briefly here and there, but due to personal issues I wanted to reschedule the test for a later date to prepare thoroughly. I was informed that was not a option, I would have to forfeit my money and repay to schedule at a later date. I was devastated and had two days before the test. I studied all day and night, more time would be recommended. On my way to to the test, I called Kim in a panic and she spend 30 minutes or more on the phone with me, reviewing, giving me examples and answering my questions. She encouraged me that I can do this! While taking the test I reflected back to our discussion and did exactly what she told me to do. It is extremely difficult because I felt as there was always two possible good answers to every question, so I had to reflect back to the information Kim instilled in me. At the end of the test, I hit the button to submit waiting to see the words FAIL and instead I saw PASS!! The long ride home in a traffic jam and the high parking rate no longer mattered, I had perma grin and no one could change that. I have Kim and the book to thank for my success!! Thank you so much and I wish I would have found this site the first time I tested, it would have eliminated my stress all together. The support is amazing, Thank you again Leap! I hesitate purchasing anything from the internet because I feel it make be a gimmick, but I am here to tell you Leap is real and so very helpful. I PASSED AND SO CAN YOU, THANK YOU LEAP!
I had taken the exam 5 years ago after being out of school for 10 years and didn't pass using a different study program. This time a colleague recommended that I use the LEAP program. I am forever great-full she did. I used the LEAP program and it was the best program for me. I passed my LCSW and would recommend this program to anyone studying for the LCSW. It is a very comprehensive book and I used the audio CD's while driving to and from work. I also purchased the online practice exam. I would have not passed without this program! It is very organized and concise and was just what I needed to pass!

I passed the LCSW on the first time thanks to the LEAP study material.
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to write a quick testimonial to express how the LEAP products helped me pass the licensing exam ON THE FIRST TRY! I used the MSW Exam Prep and DSM-5 books along with the audio CDs. The detailed information in the written materials coincided very well with the CDs (which I listened to over and over for a few months). Understanding that I am an auditory learner w/visual a close second, the two modalities of materials worked together (along with my focused, concerted studying efforts) to secure the information firmly in my mind. The material has not just been memorized–for the test–I now own it; I know I will successfully utilize it going forward in each of my future amazing endeavors.
Thank you LEAP for the helpful & encouraging telephone staff, affordable products and all you do to help licensing/certification candidates like myself achieve their dreams! I am thankful and grateful for your assistance.

I passed the LSW using the comprehensive study guide. It was all I used! Thank you!!
Raquel Swardson
I easily passed the Master's level exam last week on my first try and I have LEAP to thank! I purchased the study guide book and it made studying a breeze. I read through it three times, took the practice exam and felt well prepared to pass. I can't say enough good things. I am now preparing to take the LMSW exam in MI and I'm about to purchase the clinical book from LEAP for that exam! The LEAP book covers almost every potential topic on the exam, so no question is a complete surprise and it gives sufficient information about the exam topics without being overwhelming. Thanks LEAP–highly recommend this study tool and best of luck to my fellow social workers!! Make a study plan using LEAP's resources, stick to it and you will do great!
I purchased the LEAP study guide for the Masters Clinical Exam in July 2016. I took my exam in early August and passed! I am fortunate to have summers off (school social work) so I was able to devote a LOT of time to studying. The LEAP study guide had everything I needed to feel prepared for the exam. I have been out of school for 4 years, so I felt very overwhelmed and clueless when it came to making a plan for studying. Mostly because I had no idea where to start or what materials to use. The LEAP study guide breaks down content areas in an easy to follow format. It has just enough information, without overwhelming you with unnecessary text. I found that particularly helpful. The practice exams were also a key component for studying. The rationales helped me figure out my weak areas so I could adjust my focus. Last but not least, I had a very positive experience with LEAP staff when I had an issue with one of my exams. They responded very quickly and provided a solution within an hour. If you are questioning whether or not to purchase a LEAP study guide, DO IT. It's everything you need in one book. What more could you ask for? Thank you LEAP!

I would like to take the time to thank Kym for putting me at ease. I have my bachelors in social work but I did not the passed the exam yet. After failing in 2014, I decided that it would be my last and I went back to school. As of right now I'm working full time while trying to complete my last semester in school while doing an internship as well. Lately, I had been thinking about retaking the exam one more time and this time I'll do whatever I can to pass. I just want to thank Kym for putting me at ease and helping me in choose the right products. I cannot wait to post another testimonial in passing the exam. Sorry for calling you at 6:15am. I will be buying all of the products soon.
I passed with 127 questions correct for the ASWB exam on a test with a pass point of 95 questions, I annihilated the test! I purchased 3 other types of testing methods before LEAP and felt that each covered some of the material well but glossed over other areas, even after combining them i still felt uneasy and ill-prepared. The day before Easter I began to panic and found LEAP online at midnight and ordered the ebook and test A. At 9am Easter Sunday the materials were available for me to begin studying with my ASWB test Wednesday at 8am. I was so impressed by how thorough the guide was, there were charts and clear definitions, then practical examples to help me to clearly understand. I reviewed the material 3 times and took the practice exam, then i reviewed again and took test A. For every missed question-the correct answer is shown with the reason for its selection, but also the explanation why the other answers are not the best selection are also included, some questions have multiple answers that are very close and it really helped with those subtle distinctions! Then I reviewed the items I missed from both tests. Passing was critical to me because it means a promotion and out of state transfer with my company. Failing would have cost me that opportunity and with the other materials I would have surely failed. Thank you so much! I will absolutely be returning for my LCSW exam materials!

I took my LCSW Exam on 3/19/16 after only 4 days of studying, and I passed! I occasionally still look at my unofficial score just to make sure "Pass" is still there. Words of encouragement: "Once you pass, it will not matter how many times you took it or how much money you spent!" Keep at it! Thank you LEAP!!
Candace R.
LEAP exam test materials truly represent what is presented on their website. I used the LEAP comprehensive study guides (in 2011 and in 2015) to study for the LGSW and LCSW-C exams and I passed both! The study guides are very organized, detailed and comprehensive. I have referred several colleagues to the LEAP site so that they can have the same positive studying and test-taking experience that I had. Thank you, LEAP, I passed!!
Annette Hackey-Runion
I purchased the Leap Study Material on February 5, 2016 I listened to the audio several times and I took notes. I raised my score by 30 points and passed the exam!!!!! I will recommend LEAP to anyone that is trying to PASS their exam….
Here's the truth: The LEAP program offered a two day conference for the Licensing Exam Prep at a University near me. I took it when I was finally getting around to accepting I was going to have to take this. That was about 4 years ago. Then I procrastinated. Took the test about 2 years after that and did not study like I should have and deserved a failing score.
Then I tried again – and studied but probably not like I should have and failed again! Now I was mad and determined. DSM 5 came out – and I went to the same LEAP conference and got the new material. My cohorts even gave me all their own material and I studied ways to answer the questions, ways to understand how to think like they want you to for the purpose of the test and felt more confident. Studied even better but missed passing by two points.
I was devastated. Not to mention feeling like maybe SW shouldn't be my profession – but I know that I'm a good social worker and that literally this is about the material that is provided all in this LEAP guide.
SO with the pressure on – I exclusively studied with the LEAP guide. I followed their advice for the first time and read and reread the book, I asked for help studying, and received lots of support. Everyday I studied for at least one hour for two months. Carried the book with me everywhere I went. I broke up all the sections and focused a week on each section, at least an hour everyday. My husband quizzed me.
Day before exam I purchased Practice Exam A (with a $10 off coupon!) and did not do well but then I spent the rest of the day looking up all the answers I missed, and why I missed them… took their other un-timed test and did much better.
Not only did I pass, but with flying colors. WHAT A RELIEF. It's over – I can continue to be a good fully licensed social worker:) This program is all that we need. Seriously. Thank you to the ladies of LEAP that accommodated me through email and thank you for the excellent material that I had all along 🙂
When I passed the Licensed Masters of Social Work exam in 7/5/2014, I was happy that LEAP materials helped me. It was a work colleague that recommended LEAP. I am now recommending LEAP to other work colleagues, who had given up all hope.
Yes there is hope in passing your exam!!

I graduated with my MSW over 8 years ago, and took my Licensing exam for the first time today… and passed! I wish I had taken the exam years ago, when the information was fresh in my head. However, some of us are great at procrastinating. At this point, I was afraid of the test prep because I figured that most of it would be geared towards recent graduates and that I would have to go dig through my old texts to re-learn the material. This test prep package was ideal. I didn't have to rely on any additional studying resources. I followed the instructions, and dedicated about an hour a day to studying for the last 3 months. I failed quite a few practice tests in the beginning, so it was clear that I really needed a program like this one. If you're like me, I recommend purchasing the study guide, plus the Diagnostic Summary Guide, and then taking the online Exam A about a week or so before your scheduled test date. I was under a lot of pressure to pass, I have poor memory skills, and I have been working in a specialized area of SW for many years. With all of those factors, I didn't think I would pass this exam on the first try – but I scored 125 out of 170!

Was somewhat lost in my studying and was looking at disparate materials. I purchased the LEAP guide one month before my exam, read it twice, and completed the practice exam. Passed my exam and more importantly felt confident going into the exam! The LEAP guide was worth every cent.
I passed the National Clinical Social Work exam at the end of July, 2015. Considering that I received my MSW in 1985 and took what I believed to be my last national social work exam in 1991, it is not surprising that "You Passed!" popping up on the test computer screen immediately induced tears of joy and relief!
Despite practicing for 25 plus years and taking CEU courses throughout those years, I had lost quite a lot of information needed to pass the exam. I doubt that I would have passed the exam without the Leap prep materials and Kym's wonderful pep talk. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Thank you, Kym and Leap, for saving my bacon!
I have used LEAP material for both my LGSW and now my LICSW. I passed the first time around each time. I would recommend both the main guide and the DSM 5 guide. Both were easy to understand and helpful especially with the change from DSM 4TR to the DSM 5. Just one note-the DSM 5 guide still lists V codes which are now Z codes. Not a major issue.

I passed the MSW state license exam on the first try thanks to LEAP!!!! This program is awesome and I recommend it to any one who is preparing to go to the next level on becoming licensed. Thank you LEAP and Kim. By the way Kim, I can still hear your sweet voice of instructions.

Three months ago, I failed my first clinical exam. I realized I needed to change the way I study for the exam. So I ordered some LEAP products. Within less than three months later, I passed the exam with flying colors. I strongly recommend those with provisional social worker license to purchase LEAP products because these products are specifically made just for the social workers (compared to other companies that create similar products that includes in psychologists). Not only that but also LEAP products were created only by the social workers! I don't think I would have passed if it was not for LEAP. Just recently, I recommended someone to check out LEAP products as soon as this person graduates with MSW. I know he will pass the first time when he orders your items. Thank you, LEAP for helping me to pass my exam!!
Seven years ago I graduated with my MSW and took the clinical licensing exam within two months of graduation as allowed by the state of Utah. I passed and have been working in the field since then accruing my 4000 hours. I finally had all my hours and applied to DOPL earlier this year only to learn I had taken the wrong licensing exam seven years prior. I was devastated and hysterical since the work we do in the field differs from what we learn in the classroom. In order to sit for the DSM-IV-TR exam I had five weeks to study and take the exam before the July 1st deadline.
After attempting to study on my own with various study materials, I consistently failed the practice tests. After speaking with my local NASW chapter and my alma mater, they recommended LEAP. I called Kym and she was confident I would be able to pass the exam within the five week time frame with LEAP's study materials. I ordered the manual and Exam A. I read through the book once frantically, spoke to Kym again who suggested I read it only once more, but purposefully and methodically and take the practice exam. I got a 74% on the practice exam. (75% is passing.) I sat for the real exam a week later. I needed to answer 99 questions to pass and I answered 111 correctly.
While I certainly spent all my waking hours studying, I am confident that the reason I passed is because I was studying with the right materials. I wholeheartedly recommend LEAP to social workers everywhere.
After several tries and not passing the exam I almost gave up. After many years, I decided that I would give the exam one more, and the last try. I came across the LEAP website during my research. I called the number listed and nervously tried to explained the purpose of my call. Needless to say Kim was very patient and understanding, she pointed me in the right direction and suggested the materials I would need. I went ahead and got everything, the Study Guide, Diagnostic Summary, Audio and the Exam A. I have no regrets purchasing these items, I PASSED. Thank you LEAP!!!
P.S I recommend LEAP to anyone who is on the verge of giving up.
New York
The LEAP products helped me pass my LCSW exam! The combo of the Comprehensive Study Guide, Diagnostic Summary Guide and Online Practice Exams really helped! The tips for taking the test in the Comprehensive Study Guide were so helpful! I really used those tips during the exam. Thank you LEAP!
I was studying on my own for the test for many months. I had so much anxiety and felt I was not yet prepared to pass the test. I heard about LEAP and spoke to Kim personally. I purchased the manual, which was helpful, but the in-person course really got me focusing on the specific needed to pass. I had not taken such a long exam in over 35 years. Kim was available to answer my concerns and gave me a pep talk ! I am thrilled to have passed the LCSW with the ASWB on my first try, after being a practitioner in NYS for 35 years . I would highly recommend this course and the personal interest and encouragement given to me.

I am excited to announce that I PASSED the MSW exam on today! I appreciate Kym and her encouragement along the way. I used the Comprehensive Study Guide, Audio Course and the Exam A. I had been studying previous material but did not have any success. This material is exactly what I needed. The strategies were right on point. I will definitely be using LEAP to prepare for my clinical license. Thank you LEAP for helping me to reach this goal!
I took my LMSW today and passed! First try! Thanks for the quality materials to study.

I attended the Leap test prep class and received the free study guide that comes with it. Reviewed the 3 times as suggested and took some free practice test online and the ones that came with the package. It took me about 3 weeks of studying I passed with 107pts . I did it you can too don't put it off!
I did not pass my exam a few months back missing it by 3 questions and used a totally different company which I felt still did not prepare me well. I was at a loss because it has been so long since I have been in school. I called my local chapter of SW to see if they knew of any courses in our area that I could take. There wasn't however the President of our Chapter recommended LEAP allowing me to borrow his materials and shared that he and two other people had passed and felt this program was a great asset to their studying. After going over his book I decided to buy my own with the DVD and the diagnostic book. I not only passed my exam I increased the number correct by a substantial amount. I felt very prepared and the materials that are presented in this program are what is needed for the exam.
I highly recommend this program and will pay it forward to any of my colleagues who are preparing for their exam.
New York
I tried another program, that (literally) put me to sleep with the broad content areas that it attempted to cover for social work and other disciplines. The creator of this exam was not a social worker. I felt discouraged, as there was no clear way to focus my attention and memory on this information, nor any way to actively grasp concepts. The LEAP diagnostic manual did a great job of presenting the diagnostic criteria, and then, through sample questions, provided the support I was seeking to focus and think through each section. The practice exams were great also, and the content areas were thoughtful, concise, and well written.
The LEAP exam was more challenging, in certain ways than the actual exam, so I was well prepared to pass on the first go.
I am glad that I purchased this program. Well worth the price and time invested.

I had to share that I passed the LCSW exam in PA, today, on my first try! Two and a half years ago, I used the LEAP Study Guide to pass the LSW exam after I heard about it from some recent MSW graduates. This time, I used the Clinical Study Guide, Diagnostic Summary Guide and purchased the Clinical Practice Online Exam. I am so proud of my accomplishments and recommend the LEAP system to all! Great products…thanks so much for the help LEAP!
The material really works. The manual and CD collection is AWESOME. I listen to the CD(s) so much my family began learning the material. (LOL) The manual is great. It really breaks down the material and explains the answers. The practice exams helps to familiarize you with the real exam. Therefore, it reduces some of the anxiety when you sit for the real exam. I'm loving you LEAP. LOL Thank you for helping me pass the exam. I am truly thankful. (LEAP is GREAT!!!)
Joyce Jukes
I've used the LEAP product to study the LCSW. I took the test for the first time on January 30 2015 and 10 points higher than the required score. Thank you LEAP for the studying tool in the guide!

I passed my clinical exam today and can now say that I am an LCSW-C! I took the test about four months ago and failed by 3 points. At that time, I was using another well-known company's study material. I invested quite a bit of money in them, and felt it would be worth it if it helped me pass. I remember at times feeling a bit overwhelmed, because there was so much material and in hindsight, the format was, well, just a lot…
I heard about LEAP products from another social worker. She raved about LEAP and highly recommended them. I checked out the website and was quite impressed with the products. I loved being able to read excerpts from their study guide as well as answer some sample questions. More impressive was the fact that the material is written by social workers for social workers. Sold! I purchased the clinical study guide, the diagnostic guide, and an online exam. (I also purchased an online exam through ASWB.) The material in LEAP's books was formatted in a much easier and more reader-friendly way, compared to my prior study guides/books. And again, I can't over emphasize the fact that the material was written by social workers. I was able to pick up on that many many times throughout my studying.
Preparing for this exam is quite a big deal. There's anxiety and a time factor involved. There's so much to review and retain. I say this because I truly believe that this time around, although it was "me" who passed, through my own efforts, commitment, and perseverance, it was the LEAP products that gave me the confidence to push through.
If you're contemplating which study material to invest in, choose LEAP. You won't be disappointed.
Good luck everyone! (And don't give up!)
In November I decided that I wanted to sit for the clinical exam in December. A trusted colleague who is a Social Work Professor recommended LEAP due to their being known for having the highest rate of success, higher than other competitors. On November 28th I purchased all 3 of the LEAP online practice exams. I took the diagnostic exam and exam A without studying to get a baseline score and an idea for areas I needed to work on most. I am not suggesting that the way I chose to prepare is the best but this method has served me well in the past such as when I was preparing for a math test in college. Why? Because it reduces test anxiety & because it helped me mentally prepare & focus on answering questions carefully by identifying key words such as "Best", "first" etc. When I took the actual exam on December 20th less than a month after purchasing the practice exam I was about halfway through the test when I decided that some of the practice exam questions were more challenging than the real exam questions (or I was just so well prepared & relaxed it seemed this way). I scored 107, 5pts higher than required in the state of Alabama, which may not seem like much but given the short amount of time I prepared I am very pleased. I have already recommended LEAP to other social workers I know planning to sit for their LCSW. I'm also going to recommend LEAP to my students as I teach social work part-time. Thanks for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a LCSW!
I DID IT!!!! I passed the LGSW exam today and have LEAP to thank! I could not have done it without the Comprehensive Study Guide and the Audio CD Study Guide. I highly recommend this material to anyone preparing for the license exam. It was WELL worth my money and I have already recommended it to my former classmates.
Brenda B.
I have been trying for some time to pass this LCSW exam and felt I was too old- age 64- to do it. I had lots of different hand outs to study but could not get organized. This licensing exam prep book was so well put together, so organized, great question exam that I did indeed succeed. I highly recommend it to everyone and encourage you to follow their suggestion of reading the book at least 3 times. It's a great resource too. Good luck to all.
Nancy G.
Thank you LEAP for a really comprehensive collection of materials. I purchased the audio CD's study guide, online exams and DSM study guide. I may have over done it! But by consistently reviewing material (between 2-4 hours on most days, for approximately 2 months), I am so happy to share with you and any one who is considering the financial commitment of Leap products that on December 1st I passed the MSW licensure examination, on my first attempt.
I like many others, I have test anxiety and I had procrastinated since graduation in May of this year about when, how and if I could/should take the LMSW. My advice to anyone prone to procrastination and wary of the financial investment is to first book an examination date to work towards (this really helped my focus),and then to purchase LEAP products. It worked for me and I am sure a large part of why was that I had a structure to my studying (something I had struggled with using other study materials). In retrospect I probably did not need all of the materials that I ordered, but I urge anyone reading this to think about how they learn and mix and match their products accordingly. I study better alone, and although this works for me it can feel rather intense and isolating, because there is no getting away from the fact that it is all on you. Recognize your own personal study style and go for it. If asked I would say that I found the audio tapes and online examinations to be the most useful for me. This is I am sure because It felt more proactive and the voices on the CD's became old friends sharing my journey. I (incidentally) do not have a BSW and I am an older graduate in my fifties. Don't be daunted by the amount of information you are flooded with – you graduated, you can and will do this.
Finally passed!!! Couple of points: graduated with BSW in 1997, passed Ohio basic LSW after three attempts; graduated with MSW in 2001 but decided not to pursue the Masters level license due to past traumatic experience. Moved to PA in 2007, and decided to give it a try. Studied, used multiple guides, but FAILED miserably!!! Anxiety set in!! Didn't need the license for my current position, so I decided not go through that experience again. About a year ago heard about the LEAP program via a former classmate who failed the exam over five times, he enrolled in their program and passed. Thought I would looking into LEAP. Spoke to Kim at length and I decided to purchase the study guide, and CD's. Per Kim's instruction I studied for three months, 5 days a week reading the study guide book 2 hrs daily, and listened to one CD daily for two months. Which I did while on my lunch break. Sure there were days I decided not to study!! Rested!! I was extremely anxious prior to the exam, and was shaking. Sat for the Masters level exam and FAILED by only two questions. Spoke to Kim after, she reassured me that I knew the material, which I did; but needed to address issues relating to my anxiety. So, second time around used the Study Guide to focus on the areas of weakness (two chapters), addressed issues of anxiety by reviewing test questions (over and over and over). Only listened to specific CD's related to my areas of weakness. Did this for little over a month prior to exam. Sat for the exam and PASSED!!! For many folks anxiety is major issue to overcome to pass exams, its not that you don't know the material! I hope my experience helps. Don't throw in the towel, keep trying, even if you fail after studying, and finally thanks to several long conversations with Kim and THEIR study package I did it!!! FINALLY!!!!

As of 11/22/14 I'm a licensed social worker in the state of PA. Before purchasing LEAP materials, I had taken the licensing exam a few times and wasn't successful. The LEAP guide and practice exams helped me to succeed. I couldn't have passed without these materials. My score was above the passing mark. I feel that all my hard work and effort really paid off. "Never Give up!"
I passed my LMSW today! I invested in the Leap Study guide and the audio and felt that it really prepared me for the exam. I also want to thank Kym for being so kind and understanding when approaching her with questions about the leap study material. Thank you for helping me reach this goal!!!!

I am pleased to report that as of 12pm today, I passed the LCSW exam in CT. I used LEAP Clinical Comprehensive Study Guide, LEAP Clinical Diagnosic Summary Study Guide and bought test A. I feel that the LEAP program really prepared me for the test. I read both books 3 times and took each test twice (at the beginning and the end of my studying). LEAP prepared me for the test. I am so grateful for your services. Thank you for making a dream come true.

I passed the hardest test thus far in my lifetime. Today (7/26/14) I passed the Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) examination in Chandler, Arizona.
LEAP's live class, Study Guide, Diagnostic Manual, and Audio CD Set – provided a comprehensive network that clarified and organized the abundant information required to pass the LCSW examination. The suggestion in the LEAP Study Guide states to study at least 1.5 hours per day for 3 consecutive months – that was very true for me. Thank you Kim and your staff of professionals that were supportive and encouraging every step of the way…I would highly recommend LEAP's comprehensive program to every Social Worker that aspires to be licensed to practice.
I studied from flash cards made by another company for four months before purchasing the study guide. I took the plunge when I did miserably on a practice test despite studying. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and had gone straight for this study guide. It is very comprehensive with enough relevant content without being too dense. I've been out of school for two years and this was a good reminder of specific theories, medications, etc…
I read the study guide for one hour each day for a little under two months. The content section is about 250 pages, so I was able to read the book twice through taking careful notes in the margins. I passed the exam with a comfortable cushion- this guide prepared me well.
I will come back to this product line when I take the clinical exam in a few years. It was worth the cost for me!

This morning I had taken my LCSW and passed on the first attempt. LEAP study materials were right on target and prepared me how to correctly look for the right answere. LEAP is the best!!!!! I used LEAP's Master's level book when I studied for my LMSW. Prior to taking my LMSW I had used another brand of SW exam books and two failed after attempts. When it was time to take my LCSW LEAP was the one and only company I contacted. Keep doing a fantastic job!!!!! Amanda and Kim are wonderful!!!!!

I had graduated from school four years ago and was extremely concerned about passing the test. I purchased the Clinical Social Work Exam Study Guide, studied for approximately 60 days and passed the exam on the first try! The guide was easy to read and understand! I would highly recommend!!!!!

I took the LCSW back on 8/7/13. This was the 2nd time I used LEAP (used for my LMSW) and passed on the first attempt. LEAP in my opinion, is the best product out there in preparing for licensure. I always suggest to everyone I know whose planning to take the exams to use LEAP. The study guide is the bomb, and the live seminar provides so much insight in how to prepare for the exam. The cost of the materials and the live seminar are minimal, considering the benefit you receive. Thanks LEAP, you guys are great.

LEAP materials are by far the best in the industry. I spent a while researching other exam prep materials and none compared with LEAP. I took the Clinical ASWB exam and purchased the Clinical Comprehensive study guide, audio course, and diagnostic summary guide. Each one of these items offered something that the others did not, and served as a great comprehensive study guide all together in studying for my exam. The materials arrived within a week of purchase, and were very nice. I studied for 1 month 3-5 hours/day. I listened to all 6 CD's twice all the way through, got through the Comprehensive study guide almost 2 times all the way through, and read the diagnostic summary guide once all the way through. I also took the practice test in the back of the Comprehensive study guide before I started studying to see what my weak areas were. It is so nice because after the test, it gives you all the answers and the rational for why those are the correct answers and others are the wrong ones. I also did all 90 vignette questions in the diagnostic summary guide, they were very helpful in testing my knowledge of the DSM. LEAP recommends that you get through the entire study guide 3 times all the way through before taking the exam, I completely agree with this and would give yourself about 3 months to study. I have seen my friend's study materials and they are not nearly as comprehensive as the LEAP materials. I passed my first time with an 85% (and you only need a 70% to pass in the state of UT.) So I passed with flying colors!! I know it is because of LEAP that I passed my exam. Thank you!!!!!!
WOW! I'm so excited to say that I passed the exam I tried four years ago and decided that I needed to prepare thoroughly. My co-worker, who had recently passed, suggested LEAP. I took the course the summer of 2013 at Howard University. What I learned were strategies. I have been a professional social worker for over fifteen years and had been told many times that my strength is my clinical skills. Still, the exam was a challenge. After understanding how to approach the exam, it all made sense. I would recommend that you take this course prior to taking the exam. It's well worth the cost.
I have taken the test few times since 2004 I graduated. I ruled out taking the test because each time I would be one or two points away from a passing score. I studied less than two months and I also bought the online Section A exam. I completed the timed and untimed exams. Today, I took the exam and PASSED!!!! Thank You LEAP !!!!
The materials provided by LEAP are thorough and comprehensive. If you follow the directions laid out in the comprehensive study guide you will most definitely pass the test! I plan to buy the updated version when I take my LCSW exam in two years. Thank you, LEAP!
Both the LEAP LGSW/clinical and diagnostic study guides were invaluable to me in my preparation for the test. I took the test in November 2013 and passed with flying colors first time around thanks to these two study guides. Highly recommended!
Just had to share…I passed my Clinical SW Exam today…your materials were my source of info…and I studied them thoroughly. Thank you!

I received my MSW over many years ago. In that time, I have purchased several other study guides for the Masters-level exam. Nothing compares to LEAP. Before purchasing LEAP, I failed the exam several times. The other study guides did not compare. Much of the content in these guides were not even on the exam. I became depressed, and gave up on the idea of ever becoming licensed. After 2 years, I decided to try again. I decided to purchase the study guide, online exam, and CD's from LEAP. I studied for 3 months and listened to the cd's on my commute to and from work daily. On the day of the exam, I was literally shaking. Before entering the testing center, I was able to breath slowly and remember to tips I read in the study guide to ease my anxiety. Finally, I passed! When the shock wore off, I began to cry tears of joy. I am finally an LMSW!
Thank you LEAP for helping me advance my career!
I passed my BSW Licensure with the help of the LEAP Study Guide and free practice test questions available through the website. I highly recommend the study for success!!
Whitney Davis
Thank you LEAP for your help! I PASSED!
Thanks so much for offering the study materials. I passed my examination earlier today because I was sufficiently prepared thanks to the study guide, audio CDs, and LEAP Exam A. Many, many thanks!

LEAP thank you so much for your thorough but concise study materials that helped me pass my exam. I studied nearly every day for 3 months off the study guide, diagnostic guide and the audio cd's.
"This was my second time taking the exam. The first time I took it I missed my 3 points. A year later with the combination of the study guide, diagnostic manual, Audio CDs and the live class I felt confident that I would pass and I passed my masters exam!
Thank you so much, I will definitely use you guys for the clinical exam!"
"Today, 5/17/13, I took the LCSW test in CT and PASSED on my first try! I bought the comprehensive study guide from LEAP. I studied it for almost three months. It provided me with relevant, up to date information, useful testing tips, and the two included practice exams helped to ease my testing anxiety.
Thank you LEAP for helping me to further my professional goals!"
I passed my exam on my first try on 5/2/2013. I did a lot of research before deciding on what study material to buy. The people at the NASW AZ chapter I met told me to buy the LEAP material. I bought the study guide with the two practice tests and one of the online practice exams. I shared material with another friend studying for the test and I have to tell you LEAP is the closest to the actual exam. The study guide is detailed and the only study guide you will need. I highly highly recommend the LEAP products.
I studied the test prep book and it was soo helpful!! The 2 exams at the back helped me know what content area I still needed to work on. I felt fully prepared for the exam! Thank you for keeping the study guides up to date!!
"If you are taking your aswb exam– you NEED TO BUY THIS PREP!
It works! I used it for my LMSW & LCSW & I passed both, no issues and was more than well prepared!
Your product was a life saver!!! Everything was straight forward and allowed me to pass my test with flying colors. Their practice tests helped me feel more confident when taking the real thing.
"Hi Kym, ,
I passed my LCSW test yesterday, on 8/28/2012! I am so excited to relay this news to you.
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me over the phone, two weeks ago when I was experiencing some anxiety. I think I also had to adjust to your materials, as it is extremely (content driven). I would also like to thank Rusty, for talking with me briefly as well, while I was in my decision-making process, regarding the purchase of your manual. Rusty was patient. (I hope I am spelling her name correctly)
I appreciate your prompt service with the delivery of the licensing prep manual. I ordered the book on Friday, August 10, 2012, and the book was in my possession on Monday, August 13, 2012. I only had your book (licensing prep manual), in my possession for two weeks, prior to my exam date. I read the book cover to cover four times, since your suggestion (per the manual) is to read the book at least three times. In addition to this, I did have other materials in my possession as well, which I had mentioned in a previous phone call. However, I came to realize that those materials were 8 yrs old, (Yikes). Of course this new information did not help with my anxiety. I did retain some information on several of the main theorists and theories of practice, prior to receiving the licensing prep manual. However, there was also a great deal of new information and updates that I had to study quickly! Prior to receiving your manual, I took two practice exams, which I did not pass. It wasn't until after I studied the licensing prep manual, that I began to pass the practice exams, and of course gained confidence. I am experiencing (excitement relapse) right now. I just made that term up, lol!
I am thankful that I contacted Fordham University for assistance in preparation for the LCSW exam, only to be referred to your company.
Again, thank you for your patience. I know I emailed you several times with past questions, in addition to making numerous phone calls as well.
I am so excited!
Best study guide out here!
I felt the LEAP program was very helpful. The booklet is very easy to understand. The material is very relevant and focused to the exam. I felt the full length practice exams were particularly helpful. I felt confident the day of my exam. I have recommended the LEAP program to several of my friends!
This is the best exam guide, out of any other prep material on the market. I took and passed my ex with confidence, thanks to LEAP!
Leap provided me with the confidence that I needed to pass the NJ LSW exam. I heard from others in the profession that the exam was difficult, that is when I decided to purchase the cds and study guide. I felt prepared for the exam after utilizing LEAP. Thank you for putting together a great package. I will buy the cds for the LCSW exam in a few months.
I found the combination of study guide and diagnostic supplemental to be great tools in helping me prepare for the LISW exam. I have been out of school for sometime and so the concrete review of information was helpful and relevant, and even though I was just coming off of maternity leave, returning to work and being a crazy new mom, I passed the exam with a really nice score! Awesome, and recommended.
I would highly recommend LEAP for anyone who is taking the LMSW or LCSW exams. I used LEAP resources for both test and passed with flying colors. I found the Diagnostic Manual to be an incredible learning tool. Thanks again LEAP!
The study guide was very helpful and I passed my exam on the first attempt. I have recommended it to a friend and she also passed her exam on the first attempt.
Concise and useful information to use long after passing the exam.
"I am so glad that your program was available. It really helped me to study well.
I have not worked for nearly 8 years and helped me be recertified.
I wish you also have online CEU credits available. Now I have to get CEU credits that are up to date for LCSW maintenance. I would love it if many of these great ceu courses are avaialble online so that I can save on driving everywhere…I am not that good at driving so much.
thanks so much again."
I graduated from College 15 years ago with my bachelors in Social Work. I never needed to be licensed in my job, so I never took the test. Employment circumstances have changed and I decided to start studying for my exam, but didn't know where to start. I found LEAP online and decided to order the study guide. I read the book front to back and continuously quizzed myself. This is the only book I used to study for my exam…15 years after graduating…I passed my exam! This is the best study guide and totally worth the money!
I am super happy to share with you that I passed the exam on my first attempt!!! I found the practice exams in the comprehensive study guide very helpful!! Thank you!
I bought the LEAP study guide and it was extremely helpful! The practice exam at the back of the book really helped me get an idea of what the actual exam would look like. After 4 years of college, it's hard to remember everything that I've learned and would need to remember for the exam but this study guide did a great job going over almost everything of importance. Without this study guide, I'm not so sure that I would have passed the exam! Thank you LEAP!!
"I PASSED my LGSW exam for MD in 2011. The whole exam package was very helpful. I had the 6 CDs which I listened to in the car ALWAYS, I studied the comprehensive guide 3 1/2 times and I devoted over 3 months in the studies. I took the practice test initially as you had suggested before studing, my score then was not very strong, then after studing the book twice I took the online clinical practice test exam which was better. I studied more and then took the practice test again, then I became confident in myself . Everything was very helpful. I have taken this exam four times and have always not made it by 2-7 points. This time, I did cross over and with a big margin. I have bridged the gap that people with English as their second language cannot succeed in such tasking exams! And to my fellow colleagues who have been struggling, DO NOT LOSE HOPE!! Continue trying. Remember-Continue to assess the situation. That became my mantra at some point.
Thanks Kym again for putting out the materials for ME. I feel so much empowered to continue on my career path and doing what I love doing-SOCIAL WORK. God bless you all."
I found the study guide in preparation for taking the exam very helpful. I would strongly recommend the guide, especially for someone who has not taken the exam for a while and or need some recollection of things learned at school. I also liked the testing tips, which was helpful when taking the exam.
This course is the most amazing method for prepping for the test. I passed the 1st time and received a high score. The audio program and rhe online tests were the perfect combination for me! Thanks Kym/LEAP.
The LEAP Products were very helpful in preparing me for the licensing exam. I found the study guide and the cds very helpful. They broke the information down in a way that was not too overwhelming. I liked how the information was broken up into sections covering a wide range of subjects. I would recommend these products to anyone who is preparing to take the licensing exam at the bachelor's level.
I only bought the study guide, and I did extremely well. I read through the guide three times and it prepared me for the test. I did need to take the test twice but I have test anxiety, and I missed the first test only by 1 question. I think that's awesome.
I failed the exam 3 times before attended LIVE LEAP. I highly reccomend the training – I had attended other but nothing was as clear & concise as LEAP! It made difference in me passing rather then failing again.
I attended the workshop February 2012 and took the exam 6 days later and passed! This class was very helpful, it was as if I broke the code to the matrix (test comprehension)!!
I felt so much more confident going into this exam after listening to the audio study guide.
I passed my LBSW exam and felt that using the LEAP study guide was a huge contributing factor to my success. The book is designed perfectly and the questions in the back are a great representative of what you can find on the actual exam. I was very, very happy with my investment in the study guide and have recommended it to all my classmates.
Anne Sanchez
I have never been a "studier" and was a little bit nervous to begin studying for my licensure exam. The layout of the LEAP study guide is arranged in a way that promotes studying the materials in easy to handle sections. The format of the questions mirrors the style of actual exam questions and helped me to use the study strategy of reading the question thoroughly and recognizing what is actually being asked. My primary study materials were the LEAP study guide and audio CDs. I scored a 134/150 on the Bachelors exam, and I plan to start studying soon for the clinical exam. Thank you LEAP!
I've told many of my friends about LEAP. I passed the exam in 36 days. Thank you!!!
Don't try to take the test without LEAP!

03/05/2013I used both the LCSW-C study guide as well as the diagnostic study guide (which I borrowed from a friend – this is how I learned about LEAP). I did not have too much time to study as I have a full time job as well as a contract part time job, but I took some weekends and a few days off work to study. Taking the practice tests helped, as well as familiarizing myself again with some of the material I haven't seen since grad school. I passed my clinical test on the first try. I also passed along my study guide to a coworker, and I have been telling others about this company's materials.J.I.MD
03/05/2013MSW graduate in 2011, I applied for licensure and had until September 2012 to take the test. I procrastinated because I was afraid to study and test. I realized I only had 3 weeks to take the test and pass. I ordered the online exam, study guide and cds. I studied about 3-5 hours a day a least 5 times per week. I took the test and passed after studying for only 3 weeks. I was ecstatic! Thanks LEAP.S.C.AZ
03/05/2013LEAP had a huge impact on me passing licensure on my first try! Thanks LEAP guys!!!J.T.FL
03/05/2013"Were it NOT for your study materials, I do not feel I would have passed. Utah did not provide me an actual score on my exam, but I felt I passed with flying colors thanks to the study guides and the practice exams. I followed others advice and read through the materials and took an exam each month for 3 months prior to taking my exam. This was the most beneficial in learning how questions were worded to pull out the correct answer, and not what my experience would guide me to.
Thanks again LEAP! Couldn't have done it without you!"E.C.UT
03/05/2013I had the misfortune of using an inferior study exam prep course and failed twice! After the easy to understand instruction (Study for 3 months) I passed with room to spare. I am an advocate for this system. You guys are the best there is out there! Anyone needing to pass the 1st time, needs your course!O.D.IL
03/05/2013LEAP made it so easy for me to pass my exam. I listened to the audio cds during my daily commute and read through the study guide in my spare time to reinforce the cds. I took my exam within 2 months of graduation and passed with flying colors! I will definitely use LEAP again once I am eligible for the clinical exam. J.Z.HI
03/05/2013Great information; I still listen to the CDs while I am working and I also use the study guide as a reference. I had allowed my license to expire because I was raising my children and caring for my mother that was diagnosised with Alzheimer's. I was apprehensive about retesting and your product is exactly what I needed. It prepared me for my exam as well as boosting my confindence to return to the field of Social Work. Thanks for your product!! It was worth the money.M.B.MN
03/05/2013″Leap has by far the best study preparation materials out there. I felt extremely prepared to take the clinical social work exam and I passed easily. I highly recommend ordering all of the materials especially the audio cd's and the online practice exam.
Thanks again,
Cecily P.
03/05/2013"The materials were very helpful as a guide in studying for the exam. Excellent and quick overview of all the key study areas needed.
Thank you,

03/05/2013I took the Master's Level Social Work Exam in KY. I was pretty fortunate that the university I graduated from required an exit exam in order to graduate however my program did not everything I felt I needed to know in order to pass. I purchased the study guide which filled in those gaps that wasn't covered in my MSW program. The study guide was very detailed and provided practice quizzes that also helped me prepare. S.R.KY
03/05/2013I liked the study guide a lot. It was well organized, complete, concise and easy to use. The content material was relevant to the exam. The audio discs were also great to add extra study time in the car to and from work.J.M.FL
03/05/2013I really appreciated the weekend course I took from LEAP to help me prepare for the LMSW exam. It was a great refresher and helped me feel more confident in my knowledge of the materials. It also provided a lot of useful information about the exam itself (formatting, question phrasing, etc) that I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. I plan to take the course again in a few years in preparation for the LCSW exam, and have recommended it to several friends. J.M.AZ
03/05/2013Your class was extremely helpful, right after the weekend class, I scheduled a test immediately. Your pre/post test given during the class was very accurate, especially in my case. I passed the clinical test as predicted, 10 points + above passing grade. I highly recommend your classes you offer. Thank you so much…A.I.NV
I was able to review the online exams over and over, which is what helped me to pass my LCSW.
The LEAP study guide was very helpful. The information was well written where it was very easy to understand. The online practice exams were very help also. I had less than 6 weeks to study and take my clinical exam. I read through the book twice and highlighted the areas I needed to focus on more. I took the online practice exams at least 3 times. I passed with the help from LEAP. I would definitely recommend LEAP.
Lisa F.
Materials were great. I believe that I was "over-prepared" after reading the materials. The best part of LEAP was the customer service, however. I had a couple of questions and received immediate and sympathetic service. I would highly recommend LEAP materials to anyone. When I prepare for the LCSW, I definitely will look at LEAP materials first.
I have been out of school since 2009 and have been very apprehensive about taking the masters level exam. I found LEAP production online and called and spoke with Kym. She was very kind and so helpful. I purchased the LEAP study materials in late 2011. I purchased both of the practice tests and took the time to study the guide. I got busy, but finally was able to begin studying in late 2012.
I work full time but took the time to study, off and on, for several weeks and intensely for 2 weeks before the exam.
The study guide was easy to read, follow, and learn from. I read it over and over and studied hard! It is full of a lot of detailed information and I felt it helped prepare me for all of the case scenario's on the exam.
The practice exams were helpful as well. I took them at different times throughout my studying and felt that they helped me prepare for test day with the type of questions we would be asked.
I took the exam for the first time in January 2013, and passed!
Thank you for having LEAP products available! They helped me so much!
The LEAP products were quite helpful in restoring my confidence for test taking. I would encourage anyone preparing for a clinical exam to please consider LEAP products as your source for study materials.
Leap study guide was very helpful! I like how all the material was organized and in a easy to use book. The on line test was very helpful as well and was similar to the actual test- it helped to make me less nervous for the real test. I passed the licensing exam on the first try and with time to spare! 🙂
The best thing in the history of exams. I absolutely rocked this exam because LEAP absolutely rocks!
I thought there was no hope for me passing my exam to become a LMSW, I tried every step I could until I took the next LEAP forward. Literally and figuratively, the LEAP helped me pass my test, become a better clinician as well as give me confidence to attain MY LCSW. Thank You LEAP for making a useful and adaptable study guide for social work students.
I am very grateful that I purchased the study guide and diagnostic manual from LEAP. They gave me a great structure and they are well put together. The study materials come with practice exams and they were extremely helpful as well. I am very pleased with my results and was able to pass my Masters level exam with the help of these LEAP materials. Thank you so much for putting these materials together.
This study guide was the best. I had tried others but felt this one was better to understand and provided updated testing subjects.
I just wanted you to know I passed my exam on Saturday! I had to tell you that your workbook and exams were great, but the CDs were the best! I actually listened to them so much that in the test I could hear your voice on the cd with the answer! I have been out of the social work field for over twenty years. It took me five months of preparation and your materials were very comprehensive.
PS. Please tell Terry I could hear his voice too.
This email is to let you know that I passed my exam December 28 2012 and I owe it all to LEAP products and you will hear from me again. Thank you very much!!! I'm so glad that I chose you guys for my study prep work and I will again in the future.
"So, I just took your LEAP course in DC this last Sat and Sun. Prior I have failed the exam 3x!! I took it for the 4th time this morning and PASSED!!! I know it is because of the LEAP course!! That training was awesome and I felt confident! If only I had take the course 2 yrs ago before I sat the first time! LOL THANKS!!!!!!!!!!"
Sarah W.
"I can't thank you enough! I took the clinical exam the second time on Aug. 6, 2012 and PASSED! Your wonderful on-line support and study guides helped me gain confidence and the success to pass! I will definitely pass this along to others that are seeking successful resources!"
Helen B.
"I just walked in the door from passing the masters level exam with an 85%, first try!!!! I can honestly say that I contribute much of my studying success to your study guide. It was first recommended to me by several MSW students taking the LSW prep class offered by NASW in Pennsylvania. They had to purchase the book for a course they had just completed and had heard many success stories as the result. I feel this book really solidified my preparation, and will recommend it to anyone I know who is studying for their own licensure. Thanks for the great product!"
Pamela P., LSW
"After being disappointed for years without passing the LGSW exam after a number of attempts, today, Wednesday, May 16, 2012, I finally passed the LGSW exam!!! I learned to keep being consistent, stay focused, trust, and believe that I can pass the exam and will not let anything stand in my way of accomplishing my goal this time around. I suffer from test anxiety and did not want to admit this in the past. However, I was able to get that under control by utilizing breathing and guided imagery for example and here I am today, a licensed social worker! There was something about taking this particular exam that made me so anxious and prevented me from passing the exam before!
I learned so much from LEAP's study guide, the LEAP prep course, and the LEAP online practice exam. These tools helped me tremendously in preparing for my exam. I want to thank LEAP for all they have done. They all have been wonderful! Kym has been great throughout the years! I want to say if you are working hard to try to pass and you have tried everything, but have not passed, trust me I have been there! Keep trying and do not give up because hard work does pay off in the end. You will pass!!!"

"I had been out of school for eleven years, and knew I was facing a huge task in preparing myself for the test. After researching the best materials available to facilitate the study process I chose to purchase LEAP's study guide. When I called to discuss the purchase, an individual with LEAP spent time on the phone with me walking me through the study process; providing me with important tips and areas of focus to assist me as I began the long journey toward test readiness. One month prior to taking the test I contacted LEAP again to ask for assistance in ascertaining where I was in the process as far as test readiness. LEAP, once again, provided fantastic guidance and advice. I am happy to announce I successfully passed the LSCSW exam on my first try yesterday!! The material provided in the study guide was extremely beneficial, and undoubtedly made the difference between my passing or failing the exam. The practice test was very useful."
Sara B.
"I just wanted to let you know that one week (to the day) of taking the live course in DC, I passed my ASWB Clinical exam by a very comfortable margin! I used the audio CDs to reinforce the study guide from class (I am an auditory learner). Thanks again for your help!"
Holly F.
"I just passed my CSW in April and because of it I was able to get a new job!! Thank you so much for this great program that I have recommended to others. The study guide and audio CD's were a tremendous help to me. Thanks again!"
Lisa C.
"I cannot recall the presenter or the coordinator's name, but the dark-haired young lady was so helpful when I attended the class. She even took the time to discuss with me my concerns as I was preparing to take the test for the fifth time. I am very happy that I paid the money to attend your class and even happier that I passed. Your staff was wonderful and proof of what you do is priceless for what you have assisted me with in one weekend. Thank you, thank you and thanks again…"
Adrian G.
"Well, I PASSED my LISW exam on Saturday!! Kym, I could not have accomplished this without your help and support. I cannot thank you enough for what you helped to achieve. I will always be grateful to LEAP!!"
Mark R.

"I already took the clinical exam last Friday and passed with a 91%! All the study materials were great and really helped in my preparation."
Sara F.
"I just wanted to thank you for your commitment to helping social work students pass their licensing exams. I passed my Master's level exam today, on the first try. I purchased the comprehensive study guide and audio course last year, and used them for about 4 months prior to the exam. I also purchased a full-length, timed practice exam. I'm very happy with the outcome, so thanks again."
Kelly R.
New Jersey
"I just wanted to let you know that I took the clinical exam today and passed. I got 124 questions right [83%- way above the needed passing score]. I feel this weekend's course definitely gave me the boost I needed to pass the test. Thanks for all your help!"
Stacy F.
"I just wanted to let you know that I passed my LICSW exam in December after using your Comprehensive Study Guide and Diagnostic Guide. I found them to be very helpful and they undoubtedly helped to prepare me and ease my stress level as the exam approached. Thanks very much for a very effective, comprehensive product!"
Peter B.
"I just wanted to let the staff at LEAP know that I passed the LMSW today, Dec 30, on the first attempt. I live in Atlanta, GA and attended the preparation seminar in Washington, DC. The exam was definitely challenging. Had I not taken the prep class and without your study guide I would have been lost. The only other item I used in addition to the study guide was my human behavior book. Your knowledge, expertise and professionalism are greatly appreciated. I will be looking to utilize LEAP again when I begin preparing for the LCSW. Thank you very much."
Janet C.
"After 20 years of trying to take the Clinical exam, I finally passed after I studied from your book. I was almost ready to leave the profession and you saved me! I cannot tell you how much this means to me. I tried every company out there and did not pass until I had the LEAP materials."
Margaret J.
"I passed my Bachelor's licensing exam with flying colors. The book helped me out so much and helped me guide my studying for the exam. Thank you again"
Heather M.
"I just wanted to let you know that you can add one more passing score to your count; I passed my LMSW test last Tuesday!!!! I want to thank you for the wonderful CD set, I truly believe that helped more than words can express. I wish I could send you some chocolate éclairs!!!!! You made me laugh and relax while listening/studying. I appreciate all that you do. Have a wonderful day."
Christa M.
"I took three months off from studying after failing the first time (did not use LEAP products). I then this past weekend after listening to the LEAP audio reviewed the LEAP written material for the first time and passed! The audio REALLY made a HUGE difference. I was in a study group for 6 months prior to taking the test the first time. We met about three times a month. I found one time of listening to the audio more helpful than all my group meetings."
Noelle L.
"I just wanted to let you know that on my third attempt, I FINALLY passed my Clinical Exam! I have tried different study guides and nothing helped until I ordered your book. I am so very happy! I am actually still in a state of disbelief!
Thank you so much for all of your help! Especially, to Kymberly! I spoke with her several times on the phone. I did not take your two-day training workshop; I just ordered the book and studied until I felt comfortable with the material. I truly enjoyed your study guide, as it was not too long or too brief as some of the others I have tried in the past."
Ramey K.
"I wanted to inform you I took the Masters licensing exam yesterday and I PASSED! I am not going to lie, it was hard, but I feel that your class/book really helped me to pass the test. I really appreciate the tools you gave me. I will be contacting you in about 2 to 2 1/2 years to prep for the clinical exam."
Jenny C.
"I now have my clinical license. I just have to say that your study guides are terrific and right on but that interactive course really placed me over the top in terms of preparation. The interactive course helped me focus on some of the details of the study guide I might have missed otherwise and really helped me understand what I needed to focus on for the test. Thank you for offering these wonderful programs."
Suzanne H.
"This will be my second time attending one of your classes. I took a class in Maryland back in December of 2005. I took my test and I passed! I'm now preparing for my Clinical examination and am taking your class again!"
Myisha L.
"I passed the Clinical ASWB exam this past Saturday. I studied almost exclusively from your material. I felt that the study guide was comprehensive yet concise and to the point. The practice exams were helpful as well. Thanks so much for the useful study material!"
Andrea W.
"I am sending you this short note to let you know that I took and passed the LCSW exam yesterday, with an 86, so I am particularly happy that I passed by a nice margin. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that I took the course in Kansas City. I feel it most definitely prepared me to pass and move on professionally. "
Eric C.T.
"Just a note to let you know that yesterday, in North Miami Beach Florida, I took the exam and passed with an 81. Not bad for an old Social Worker! I thank both of you for your insightful program, and very well written study guide. The program definitely helped me be successful in this endeavor."
Lynda G.
"I wanted to write and tell you that I ordered the 6-CD set with the comprehensive study guide and diagnostic guide several months ago. I was preparing for my clinical exam after being out of school for 11 years and only working part-time in the field. I listened to the CD set about four times and read the study guide twice. I also took the practice exams in the back twice. I'm happy to report that I took my clinical exam for the first time on Monday and passed with an 81%! I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation for a job well done. Your materials were very helpful and I attribute a huge part of my success to you. Thanks again for your help…I'll refer you to all my friends."
Craig H.
"I took and passed the Arizona MSW licensing exam April 2. I attribute a great amount of that success to your study guide with its practice test and your December workshop in Phoenix I attended… When I began preparing for my exam I was a mess. Desperate, I ordered a study aid which was two large binders targeted for psychologists and social workers. It only confounded my difficulties. Two additional aids still were of no help. Since I had a 4.0+ grade average, and was constantly reminded that my research papers did not have to be comprehensive, I knew my problem was not insufficient knowledge but an inability to condense information and over-analyzing questions.
Fortunately, a former classmate told me about your products. As an older student, there was always that nagging idea that maybe I wasn't up to it. Your workbook and workshop provided the guidance I needed to dismiss that notion and thereby pass the exam, for which I am very grateful.
In the December workshop I was impressed and appreciated your attentiveness and willingness to help as well as Dr. Delewski's ability to merge and condense academic and practice knowledge and then present it in a succinct manner."
Tom D.
"I have passed my test today … the one I got was VERY hard I thought but using your tests was very helpful. There is way more abstract thinking than memorization going on and way less straight information. I have returned to practice after a 22-year absence."
Patrice K.
North Carolina
"As promised, I am e-mailing you to report in with my results. I ordered the comprehensive study guide a month ago or so, studied it like crazy, and passed the exam this past Saturday. Just for some background, I graduated with my MSW degree nearly 9 years ago and for a variety of mishaps and life events, I never managed to get my supervision settled to where I could take the exam. So when I finally had it scheduled, I knew I had my work cut out for me in terms of trying to refresh my memory. Your study guide was thorough, up-to-date in terms of new treatments and medications, and very helpful. It saved me from digging through boxes in my basement on a search for old textbooks. Thank you!
And, in particular, I must mention a special thanks to the gal that I spoke with on the phone on the day that I ordered the study guide. I'm sorry – I don't recall her name, but she was very helpful in terms of discussing general preparation for taking this exam and understood my concern for being out school for so long. She provided some helpful study tips and it felt like I was talking to an MSW classmate, which was very nice. And in particular, an extra note of thanks to her for actually chasing the postman down the street to ensure that my study guide landed in my mailbox in a timely manner! I was in a time crunch and she went the extra mile for me. Thank you!!!
Keep up the great work. I'll definitely recommend you in the future."
Jerri C.
"I just wanted to let you know that after purchasing your comprehensive study guide and studying it, I passed the master's level social work licensing exam! I am so excited to be licensed and was unsure of how I would do on the exam as I have been out of school for 3 years. I am very happy that I purchased this guide as I am not sure I would have passed without it."
Carrie Pahlkotter,
"I am writing this letter of recommendation for the LEAP program that prepares individuals for the Masters level social work exam. Even though I am a new practitioner, with the help from the folks from LEAP, I passed on my first attempt. I found the exam and the preparation requirements for the exam difficult. Therefore, I recommend that anyone attempting to pass obtain the help of professionals. The combination of written materials coupled with their CDs was an excellent resource toward this end. The folks at LEAP not only presented excellent materials, but also were available for personal support and encouragement."
Dianne R.
New Mexico
"I just wanted to let you know that I finally passed the fifth time I took the test (did not previously use LEAP's products). I used your study guide and the class to help me. I appreciate all your help!!!"

It's a common video on facebook and other social media : people utilizing hotwater to remove snow on your windshield. Even though it may seem like an easy alternative for de icing this may cause severe issues for your vehicle.
Here is a video for this demonstration . Please watch the movie to find out how breaks can form when utilizing hot-water to clean a window.
An alternative solution compared to that is currently using a combination of water and rubbing alchohol and apply it on your window.
This can prevent snow from growing on your own window over-night. Please enjoy this video for details.

Travel destination: Philippines ( Tagaytay with Taal volcano in view)
Tagaytay Highlands
Driving up to Tagaytay Highlands gives so much pleasure knowing what is awaiting us when we reach our destination. A short distance drive from the heart of Manila, one would truly be amazed at how fast one can be transformed from a local scene to a seemingly-out-of-the-country-setting. That is Tagaytay Higlands.
The Belle View West ( Unit 306) where was stayed for a while, caputed our hearts, our eyes and souls at what beauty was to be revealed right outside of our windows...or terrace, i should say.
Breathtaking view of the world famous Taal volcano seemed to just be a stone's throw away from where we were. A picturesque horizon where peace and quiet was just beguiling, you wish time would just freeze.
What's more fascinating to look at and think about is how the mouth of a volcano just peaks from above the placid Taal lake. Its just so mysterious and awesome, that even while I have seen this view over and over and over again, a certain magnetism never fails to work in me, in us.
From tagaytay proper, one can have a boat ride accross and get to the foot of the volcano. There, one can irresistibly enjoy horseback riding, fishing or go for a really cool swim, specially on hot summer days like today!
Zoom in to Tagaytay Highlands this time, one has a wide variety of activities to choose from. From go-carting, to riding the cable car or simply enjoying that ride aboard the funicular. At the sports club, everything is there to your heart's delight! Bowling, indoor swimming, badminton, and a great variety of cafe's and restaurants where one can be assured of a good, satisfying meal.
The Highlands is equipped with excellent facilities and one can choose from a variety of authentic thai, japanese, spanish, chinese food! We loved dining at the steakhouse where we had the pleasure of listening to a folk singer render ol' jim croce songs while masticating on our well-done t-bone steak. Wonderful!
The highlands also boasts of a spa and lounge where one can surely get pampered, relaxed and refreshed with either a swedish, siatsu massage or just your favorite body wrap. Way to go.
After two days of pure relaxation and restrospect, we drove down back to the city but didnt forget to pass by tagaytay market to get those fruits and flowers that tagaytay is known for.

I'm starting to think that the Universe is out to get me.
The unfortunate coincidences (U.C.'s) continue and I still can't do anything but laugh.
The other night, I explained some of my life and the U.C.'s that just seem to "happen" to me over and over again to a new friend.
She had no response other than, "I've heard some coincidental stories from people, but you have the worst... 'luck' if that's what you want to call it."
I could probably write a novella based on the past four years alone, connecting all of the main characters and even ending with an arch nemesis that unfortunately slept with two out of the three boys I have selectively fell in love with. (Yes, I say "selectively" because when I fall in love it's like a Broadway production.)
Hmmm... my love as a Broadway production seems pretty accurate; along with a description of my life in the form of choking on (and almost dying) Cheetos and water as I watched the most recent episode of Grey's Anatomy.
I think Broadway and Cheetos go hand in hand. Don't you?

Despite the dismal winter we've had, SuperTour Finals was a resounding success and a fun end to the 2015/16 race season for the GRP skiers. It's always great to race at home with friends and family lining the course! The groomers did an impressive job farming snow and we were able to race on a hilly and challenging 3.5k loop composed entirely of manmade snow. The weather cooperated, freezing overnight, and the many enthusiastic volunteers made the whole event run incredibly smoothly. Here's a smattering of photos from the week. You can read, in more detail, about the first two races here (the individual skate and classic sprint) and the second two races here (the relay and the 30/50k classic). Also, you can view results here.

Mad-Town22.Feb.2010 by Ollie Burruss
Pepa told us to blog and since I'm generally terrified of raising her ire, I figured it was a good idea to do what she said. Even from a thousand miles away, she still strikes fear into the hearts of men.
The SuperTours in Madison were a unique experience. I spent 8 years of my life skiing close to a city, but I'd never skied in a city (unless you count cruising around the Cambridge streets on rock skis before the plow came). I can understand why the concept of city sprinting is appealing – it introduces a ton of new people to our rather esoteric sport. But, I have to say that after two days of city sprinting, the concept is cooler than the reality. The unfortunate reality involves a lot of soft snow and asphalt.
On Saturday we raced a criterium format, which basically meant doing a distance race consisting of a ton of tiny laps. The men's race was twelve laps and nine kilometers, while the women's was eight laps for six kilometers. Hannah was 4th, Chels was 6th, Matt was 15th, I was 14th, and Tim should have scored his first SuperTour podium with a 2nd, but he was questionably disqualified for changing lanes and allegedly impeding a CXC skier in the finish. The finish was so messy that some of the tracks were worn down to pavement, so we figured the jury would cite force majeure and exonerate Big Tim, but it was not to be.
Sunday Tim took out whatever anger he might have been harboring for the previous day's injustice by posting a blistering qualifier and moving on in the sprint. Continuing with the bizarre race formats, the organizers decided to only take 8 men and 8 women into the heats. This was fine for the girls, since they only had 6 women again, but for the field of 22 men, it was a bizarre choice. Matt and I were left on the outside looking in with our 14th and 17th place finishes respectively. In the finals Han and Chels repeated in 4th and 6th place, while Tim wound up 7th.
I think I speak for the whole team when I say that I'm glad I'm done with city sprinting for the year. Bring on the Birkie.

After directing the last four Transformers films, Michael Bay is attempting a blood-and-grit story next. The director — known for heroes with swagger, kinetic action, CGI wizardry and multiple product placements — is out with the first trailer of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
The film is based on Michtell Zuckoff's book which tells the story of the six members of a security team that fought to save the lives of Americans stationed at the embassy in Benghazi, Libya when it came under attack on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 attack. The Paramount film stars Pablo Schreiber, John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, David Denman, Max Martini and Dominic Fumusa.
The book's description says, "13 Hours presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack."
US ambassador J Christopher Stevens, US foreign service information management officer Sean Smith and CIA contractors Tyrone S Woods and Glen Doherty were killed in the attack.
State department officials were later criticised for refusing requests for added security at the compound and Hillary Clinton, as the secretary of state at that time, accepted the responsibility for the attacks.
The film comes at a politically-charged moment when Clinton is running for the President and Benghazi attack can be a hot-button issue during the 2016 US presidency race. The trailer also hints at how the attack was mishandled by those in power and the limited security.
However, 13 Hours has all the hallmarks of a Bay film and its political ramifications, if any, seem to be limited. The trailer does work in terms of action. It begins with a sense of menace which gradually builds up till the attack actually happens. Unabashedly patriotic, the trailer is about American heroes who saved American lives, or die fighting for American pride. Even the tagline emphasises on the point, "When everything went wrong, six men had the courage to do what was right."
The film will miss the Oscar rush by a whisker and releases on January 15, 2016.

A senior commander of Iran's revolutionary guards, who is subject to comprehensive international sanctions, has been nominated as the country's oil minister, a position that currently includes the presidency of Opec.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, sent a list of four ministers, including Rostam Ghasemi, commander of the revolutionary guards' Khatam al-Anbia military and industrial base, to the parliament for approval, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Should the parliament confirm Ghasemi's nomination next week, the commander, who is targeted by US, EU and Australian sanctions, will be automatically appointed as head of Opec, giving the revolutionary guards access to an influential international platform.
Under Iran's constitution the president is in charge of appointing cabinet ministers, who take office after the approval of parliament.
Iran took the Opec presidency in October last year, its first time at the head of the oil exporters' cartel since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Unrest in the Middle East, especially the ongoing war in Libya, has given Opec a crucial role in determining the current oil price. Iran is the second-largest crude oil exporter in Opec.
The nomination follows an extraordinary power struggle between Ahmadinejad and Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Ahmadinejad attempted to take over the oil ministry as its temporary head in May but his move was blocked by parliament. He then appointed Mohammad Aliabadi, a close ally, as a caretaker.
By involving the revolutionary guards – who are under the control of Khamenei – in his cabinet, Ahmadinejad might be trying to alleviate the tensions with those of Khamenei's supporters who have been threatening the president with impeachment.
The revolutionary guards have won significant economic power since Ahmadinejad took office in 2005. The organisation has signed contracts with the government in fields such as oil, gas and telecommunications. Khatam al-Anbia's involvement in the country's gas field developments exceeds $7bn (£4.3bn), according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.
In an interview with Fars on Wednesday, Ghasemi said the revolutionary guards would also work as a contractor with the oil ministry if his nomination were approved by parliament. "We have strong and skilful people working for Khatam al-Anbia who are capable of taking up oil-related projects and I don't have any concerns over the activities of the base," he was quoted by Fars as saying after the news of his nomination broke out.
Khatam al-Anbia, the construction arm of the revolutionary guards which is already in control of some of the country's most important recent oil and gas contracts, was mentioned in a list of Iranian institutions targeted by UN sanctions.
Revolutionary guards' assets, including those personally owned by Ghasemi and dozens of his colleagues, have been blacklisted by the US Treasury and western powers.
Other officials in Ahmadinejad's cabinet have been also subject to international sanctions including the foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, the defence minister, Ahmad Vahidi, and the vice-president, Fereidoun Abbasi Davani.
In a letter addressed to the parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, Ahmadinejad also nominated Mohsen Abadi as the minister for sports and youth, Abdolreza Sheikholeslami as the minister for co-operative, labour and social welfare, and Mehdi Gazanfari as the minister of industries, mines and trade.
