How is this different from a prep book?

A book shows you questions; Prepia learns from your answers. Every session is scored instantly, your progress is tracked by subject area, and missed questions become your next study session. The same bank follows you across phone and web, so practice fits wherever your day happens.

How long do I need to prepare?

Most students study four to eight weeks, but the honest answer depends on your baseline. Start with a practice session, look at your category scores, and put your time where the gaps are. Short, consistent sessions beat cramming: the app is built for exactly that.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes: Prepia runs on iPhone, Android, and any browser with one account and synced progress. Answer ten questions in line for coffee, review rationales on the couch, and take a full practice run at your desk.

What happens if I don't pass?

Our Pass Guarantee kicks in. If you do not pass your exam, we refund your purchase in full. We do not ask for a score report. The full terms are at prepia.com/docs/pass-guarantee.

You work as a licensed social worker at a community health clinic that serves many uninsured and underinsured clients. A local coalition has drafted a city ordinance that would fund multilingual enrollment navigators and expand evening clinic hours in neighborhoods with high rates of preventable hospitalizations. The ordinance does not require sharing any client-identifying information, but it would require testimony at a public hearing within the next week. Clinic leadership is generally supportive but has asked staff to follow agency policy about public statements and to ensure community members most affected have meaningful input. As an advanced generalist social worker, what is the most ethically responsible next step when you learn about the proposal described below?

Incorrect

A.Decline to participate in any discussions or advocacy efforts in order to maintain professional neutrality.
B.Support the ordinance only if it aligns with your personal political beliefs, regardless of the community health data.
C.Review the ordinance and agency policy, consult with affected community members and relevant stakeholders to assess equity impact and feasibility, then advocate through appropriate channels (for example, coordinated testimony) while documenting your rationale.
D.Postpone any action until you can meet with a mentor for guidance, even if that means missing the public hearing deadline.

A patient tells a social worker, “I’ve been drinking heavily every day for years. I want to stop today.” The patient reports their last drink was about 8 hours ago and they are now experiencing tremors, sweating, nausea, and anxiety. The patient also reports a prior episode of severe withdrawal that included a seizure when they tried to stop drinking suddenly. What should the social worker do FIRST?

Correct

A.Encourage the patient to attend community support groups (e.g., AA) as the next step
B.Arrange an immediate medical evaluation for possible alcohol withdrawal (e.g., emergency department or medically supervised detoxification)
C.Explore psychosocial stressors and reasons behind the patient’s drinking pattern
D.Evaluate the patient’s readiness and motivation to stop drinking

When evaluating a community outreach program, which indicator provides the best evidence of the program’s effectiveness?

Incorrect

A.Measured changes in participants that are attributable to the program (for example, improved knowledge, behavior, or health status)
B.Number of activities completed or people reached (for example, events held, flyers distributed)
C.Stated goals and objectives in the original program plan
D.Predicted long-term community impact based on assumptions

Ethical advocacy in social work includes promoting access to needed services while acting competently, transparently, and within appropriate professional and agency channels. The choice describing reviewing the proposal and agency policy, engaging impacted community members and stakeholders, assessing equity impact, and then advocating aligns with the profession’s commitments to client well-being, social justice, and informed, responsible advocacy. It also reduces risk by ensuring accurate representation of the policy’s effects, centering the voices of those most affected, and adhering to organizational expectations for public testimony. Remaining silent prioritizes neutrality over the social worker’s role in addressing inequities. Basing support on personal beliefs substitutes individual preference for professional ethics and community need. Waiting to act until after a deadline undermines timely advocacy when sufficient information and appropriate consultation pathways are available.

Correct

A.Encourage the patient to attend community support groups (e.g., AA) as the next step
B.Arrange an immediate medical evaluation for possible alcohol withdrawal (e.g., emergency department or medically supervised detoxification)
C.Explore psychosocial stressors and reasons behind the patient’s drinking pattern
D.Evaluate the patient’s readiness and motivation to stop drinking

The presentation suggests imminent alcohol withdrawal (recent cessation after chronic heavy use with current withdrawal symptoms), and the history of a withdrawal seizure indicates high risk for complicated withdrawal (including seizures and delirium tremens). The first priority is medical safety, so the social worker should facilitate urgent medical evaluation and medically supervised detoxification. Encouraging support groups, exploring reasons for drinking, and assessing readiness can all be important parts of longer-term treatment planning, but they do not address the immediate risk of potentially life-threatening withdrawal.

When evaluating a community outreach program, which indicator provides the best evidence of the program’s effectiveness?

Incorrect

A.Measured changes in participants that are attributable to the program (for example, improved knowledge, behavior, or health status)
B.Number of activities completed or people reached (for example, events held, flyers distributed)
C.Stated goals and objectives in the original program plan
D.Predicted long-term community impact based on assumptions

Program effectiveness is best demonstrated by observed and measured outcomes—changes in participants or the target community that can be documented and linked to the intervention. The choice describing “measured changes in participants” reflects outcome evaluation and provides direct evidence of whether the program made a difference. Counts of activities or people reached are primarily process/output measures and show what was done, not whether it worked. Stated goals are intentions rather than results. Predicted long-term impact is speculative and does not substitute for measured outcomes.
