Read what some users had to say about SWES:
“I just wanted to let you know how AMAZING your books and class are. I took the class in the beginning of 2007, studied from the books and when I got to the test on February 18th I couldn't believe it! The exam questions were almost verbatim of what I read and studied in the SWES prep books. I passed my LMSW exam in NYC with an 83% on the first try! I was so relieved because I had heard that a lot of my peers had been failing. Thank you so much for these wonderful study materials. I will certainly come back to you again when it is time for me to study for the LCSW exam. Marissa L. Sappho, L.M.S.W. Psychiatric Social Worker, New York, NY” http://www.swes.net/who/response.html
