Need-to-Know Caseworker Exam Tips & Strategies
General
- Relax the night before the test
Don't cram. Studying at the last minute will only stress you out. Go to a movie or hang out with a friend - anything to get your mind off of the test!
Test Specific
- Practice, practice, practice
When you take the test, you want to have a thorough grounding in basic skills. The best approach is to get to know the test with many kinds of exam questions, so be sure to take several practice exams. - Explore your chosen field
It is also very important to have a strong knowledge of social work and related procedures and topics such as public assistance, housing and social welfare, and public health. Make sure that you get to know each. - Neatness counts
Mark answers neatly and carefully. The answer sheet is the only record of your answers. Blacken each answer space firmly and completely; simply drawing an "x" or check mark through the bubble will prevent the machine from being able to read your response.


Your civil service career awaits. Score high and go get it.
