Testimonials

What others say about the course

“Meagan’s detailed explanations and visual teaching approach for the basic subjects were the perfect study guide for the LMSW exam! Several of the examples given mimicked the licensure exam, making me feel comfortable with the testing process and my knowledge level.”

“Studying for the LCSW exam is hard enough but it’s terrifying when you learn differently. I have dyslexia and I learn better using all my senses. I found “Agents of Change” on YouTube one day and it changed the way I studied. I found that listening, reading and watching Meagan Mitchell explain the social work content allowed me to absorb the information. I passed my test on the first try. I highly recommend “Agents of Change!”

“Meagan Mitchell is a master instructor who weaves different learning styles to meet students’ individual needs. Having taken both the LMSW and LCSW exams, I can affirm that Agents of Change Social Work Test Prep is a perfect fit for all ASWB exam takers. Purchasing and using the ASWB Exam Prep Premium Package gave me the confidence and skills to pass my exam even under the heightened stress with the pandemic. ”
