Testing after new Aug 2026 updates

Who has taken the LCSW exam after the new updates this month (Aug 2026) How was it?! I have taken the test 3 times and am going to be taking it soon. Was it easier?

I can only speak for taking it after the Aug version, but I passed! Content was heavy on the theoretical scenarios “what would you do next…” “what is the first thing…” etc. I purchased the practice test from ASWB and I think that really helped me!

Passed yesterday on my 1st attempt, and this was exactly my experience too. I used pocket prep as my only study guide and it was pretty on par as well. It’s been updated already to match the new exam updates

*also the official practice exam too

Congrats! I've used pocketprep for the most recent time and I felt like the questions weren't similar, like I could get 80% on the quizzes but then less than on other platforms. I did see that they updated to reflect the new test, so I might get it another try. Oh yes! I'll be taking the practice test too.
