I passed the LCSW exam!!!!

Had to share that after failing on my first try by 4 points, yesterday I passed the LCSW exam with a score of 117!!! I took the exam for the first time last week, was so anxious and rushed through it (I had two hours left of the test). Yesterday, when I passed, I made sure I paced myself. I took about three unscheduled breaks to just go for a walk and take a mental break when I noticed I was doubting myself. I would pause and doodle on the provided scratch pad just to slow myself down, wrote down positive affirmations, and focused on my breathing. Also…… I did not use anything other than pocket prep, the official practice exam, and quizlet questions someone linked in a previous post to study for the exam. The content itself was not super difficult, managing my anxiety was difficult. But nonetheless, I freaking passed!!!
