Does anyone have this right now or took the test for masters level yet? No matter how much im studying the practice exams on this program are ridiculously hard and even come across questions that have nothing to do with what i studied or is in the review books. Also does anyone know of a site that would have message boards to discuss the exam?

Hi there...the exam is really not as hard as you think. I completely understand how nervous you must be (I was too!), but I don't know anyone who hasn't passed the MSW exam. Most people seem to pass with a 79 or so....
They have a lot of review classes through colleges (I know NYU, Hunter and Columbia usually have them), but frankly, everone I know says they are a waste. I didn't take one, and instead just reviewed my materials from grad school and was fine.
I found that the exam was A LOT less clinical than I expected, and was more administrative, supervisory, research, policy, etc. (yuck). Anyway, best of luck! I'm sure you will be fine.
Welcome to the field! :)
