See what practice looks like

A licensed clinical social worker has been treating a client for depression for six months. The client reveals that her husband, who is also a client of the same agency but seen by a different therapist, has been physically abusive. The social worker should FIRST:

A.Report the husband to law enforcement for domestic violence
B.Notify the husband's therapist about the abuse disclosure
C.Assess the client's immediate safety and develop a safety plan ✓ Correct
D.Recommend couples counseling to address the marital conflict
Why It's Correct
When a client discloses domestic violence, the social worker's first priority is always safety. Assessing immediate danger and collaboratively developing a safety plan respects the client's autonomy while addressing the most urgent clinical concern. Reporting, notifying other providers, or recommending couples counseling may be appropriate later steps, but none should precede a safety assessment.
Expert Insight
On the ASWB exam, when you see "FIRST" in the question stem, they're testing your ability to prioritize. In domestic violence scenarios, safety always comes first — before reporting, before involving other parties, and before any therapeutic intervention that could escalate risk. Couples counseling is specifically contraindicated when there is active abuse.
See why the other answers are wrong
Why the Other Choices Are Incorrect
A. Report the husband to law enforcement

Domestic violence reporting laws vary by state, and in most jurisdictions, reporting is not mandatory for adult victims who have the capacity to make their own decisions. More importantly, reporting without the client's consent could escalate danger and violates the client's right to self-determination. Safety assessment must come first.

B. Notify the husband's therapist

Sharing this information with the husband's therapist without the client's explicit consent would violate confidentiality. Even though both are clients of the same agency, each therapeutic relationship has its own confidentiality protections. Cross-disclosure could also put the client at greater risk if the husband learns she disclosed.

D. Recommend couples counseling

Couples counseling is specifically contraindicated when there is active domestic violence. It can create a false sense of equality between partners when a power imbalance exists, and the abusive partner may use information from sessions to further manipulate or harm the victim.

Try 20 Free Practice Questions

As of April 2026, TDC, Grossman, and the official ASWB practice exam are all still selling the old 170-question format — with four months until the blueprint changes. LCSW Booster ships both blueprints, side by side, for $179.

1,350+ Practice Questions with Expert Rationales
0 Video Lectures to Sit Through
$179 One-Time — Less Than One Retake Fee

Adaptive LCSW Practice Questions

Lectures teach concepts. LCSW Booster makes sure you can actually apply them under exam conditions — with immediate, expert-level feedback on every question.

No Video Lectures. Just Smarter Practice.

No 57-hour video slog. Every question comes with a quick-read expert explanation and test-taking tips. You already learned the material — now practice applying it.

Adaptive, Not Random

Our PAL™ algorithm tracks your performance across all 27 sub-topics and focuses on what you're getting wrong — not just shuffled repeats of the same question bank.

Flexible Timed Mock Exams

Full-length 170-question timed exams, 85-question half tests, and quick 25-question sessions. Because working clinicians can't always block 4 hours — but you still need realistic exam pressure.

Learn From Every Mistake

Every answer includes a full explanation of why it's right and why each wrong answer is wrong. Real clinical reasoning you can apply on exam day — not just "the answer is C."

Spaced Repetition

Missed questions come back sooner. Mastered ones fade to the background. Every minute of practice is spent building real retention — the scientifically-proven way to remember what you've studied.

Know Exactly Where You Stand

Progress tracking across all 27 sub-topics so you can see precisely which areas still need work — and stop wasting time on topics you've already nailed.

Unlimited LCSW Practice Questions — No Caps, No Paywalls, No Per-Exam Fees

Most LCSW practice tests give you 10 free questions, then ask you to pay $39 per exam. You take one, run out of questions, buy another. By the time you feel ready, you've spent more on practice tests than on your actual exam prep course.

LCSW Booster gives you unlimited access to our full adaptive question bank for one price — $179, versus $295 for TDC or $289 for Grossman Self-Study. Practice as many questions as you need, take as many timed mock exams as you want, and revisit questions through spaced repetition until you've locked in the material. No caps. No per-exam fees. No expiration while you're actively studying.

And unlike static question banks, our adaptive system doesn't just give you random questions. It identifies your weak areas and focuses your practice there — so every session is targeted, not wasted.

PAL™ System

Practice That Learns What You Don't Know

Most question banks just shuffle a deck. Our PAL™ algorithm watches what you get wrong, finds the patterns, and builds every session around closing those gaps. It's the difference between practicing and actually getting ready.

Focuses Where You're Struggling

Every question is tracked as New, Learning, or Mastered. The algorithm automatically spends your time on the material that will actually move your score — not topics you've already locked down.

Makes It Stick

Spaced repetition is the most effective way to retain what you've studied. Missed questions resurface sooner. Mastered ones fade. Your study time goes where it counts.

Tracks All 27 Sub-Topics

Your progress is tracked independently across every ASWB Clinical sub-topic — so a strong ethics score doesn't mask gaps in diagnosis and assessment.

3-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Comparable prep courses run $175 to $295. We deliver the same depth — adaptive practice, 2026-blueprint mini-lessons, unlimited questions — for $179. Less than one failed retake.

Not sure if you'll test before or after August 2026? That's the right time to start. One price covers both the current 170-question format and the new 2026 format — whichever applies when you sit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LCSW Booster ready for the August 2026 exam format change?

Yes — and we're one of the few that are. As of April 2026, the major courses at the top of most Reddit recommendation lists (TDC, Grossman, and the official ASWB $85 practice exam) are still only selling the old 170-question, 4-domain format. If you sit for the exam on or after August 3, 2026, you'll face a 122-question, 3-domain test — and a 170-Q prep course won't match what's on your screen. LCSW Booster has both blueprints built in from day one. You can practice either format or switch between them as your test date firms up.

I'm already using TDC / Agents of Change / another prep course. Do I need this too?

That's exactly who LCSW Booster is built for. Lecture-based courses teach you the material. We give you the high-volume, adaptive practice to make sure you can actually apply it under timed exam conditions. Most of our users are using us alongside or after another course.

Is this another video lecture course?

No. Zero video lectures. LCSW Booster is pure practice — 1,350+ questions with quick-read expert explanations and test-taking tips. You already learned the material. We help you practice applying it.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. You can try 20 free practice questions without entering a credit card. You'll experience the full system — timed questions, detailed rationales, and domain-level results. No pitch, no pressure.

I'm a working clinician. I can't block 4 hours to practice. Will this work for me?

Absolutely. We have full-length 170-question timed exams when you're ready, plus 85-question half tests and quick 25-question sessions. You can get meaningful practice in as little as 20 minutes.

What if it's not for me?

Try it risk-free for 3 days. If it's not for you, full refund, no questions asked. We'd rather you try it and know than wonder.

I failed my first attempt. Will this help?

Many of our users are preparing for a second attempt. The adaptive algorithm identifies exactly where your knowledge gaps are and drills those areas until they're solid. It's a different approach than re-watching the same lectures.
