Always remain aware of the perceived or required role you are asked to act through in Case Study Q's
|
(EXAM Q's STRATEGY)
|
|
|
When test-taking, read the Q's out loud. This slows you down so you won't miss the Q because you didn't see the "NOT" or "FIRST" or "BEST" or other qualifiers you might've missed if you'd read the Q too fast (silently).

|
|
Always look for the most universally and/or socially accepted response.

Principles/Steps When Guessing:
(1) Eliminate obviously false answer choices (2) If the Q is generally worded, the answer will be, too (3) If the Q is specific, the answer will also have more specific wording (4) If none of the above applies, choose the longest answer (5) If all else fails and you can't eliminate any choices, choose "C" |

Everything that is written in the Case Study is true. There will be no deceptions or setups. Don't infer or add anything into a Q that is not specified.

Steps to Processing Case Study Q's:
Step 1 - Classify the type of Q (Is it Memorization, Application, or Reasoning?) Step 2 - Identify the "foundational factors" in the Case Study Step 3 - Filter the Case Study info using "contextual coding" Step 4 - Find the Case Study "alerts" |

Classifying Exam Q's - Ask yourself three Q's:
(1) Am I being asked for some factual information? (2) Am I being asked to take an action? (3) Am I being asked to make a judgment or evaluation? |

"Foundational Factors"

(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
Examples of Foundational Factors:
Group Administrative Diversity Ethics Diagnostic Treatment Social Work Roles Counseling Developmental |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Contextual Coding"
>A filter that consists of Social Work principles applied to the Case Study >The more complete answer provides the basic services for the client AND addresses a universal principle that the other correct answers do not take into consideration |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
Examples of Contextual Coding:
>Protection of Life >Report legal violations - do not evaluate >Responsibility to client supersedes all other responsibilities >Deal with the client's here-and-now >Treat clients with unconditional positive regard >No signature, no service >Evaluate before proceeding >Eliminate possible physiological causes >Clients determine interventions >Confirm 2nd party evaluations with clients >Stabilize crisis first through actions >Implement least intrusive solution |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Alert Words"
>Should automatically stimulate a chain of thoughts and associations |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Application"
>Putting knowledge to practice use >Using understanding to solve problems |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Analysis"
>Separation of the whole into its constituent parts fo rindividual study and the study of such consitituent parts and their relationships in making up the whole >Recognizing patterns suggested by facts |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Synthesis"
>Producing something new >Examining and combining processed info with other knowledge and info for a final interpretation >Process of deductive reasoning, as from cause to effect, from the simple elements to the complex whole |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Deducton" / "Deductive Reasoning"
>Process of reasoning in which a conclusion follows necessarily from the stated premises >Inference by reasoning from the general to the specific >Drawing of a conclusion by reasoning |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
"Evaluation"
>Judging quality of a solution or theory >To appraise >Assessment or estimation of the worth, value, or quality of a person, thing, or situation |
(TERMINOLOGY)
|
|
|
Memorization Q's:
> Ask for factual information > If you don't know the answer, use the guessing strategies |
(EXAM Q's CONTENT)
|
|
|
Application Q's:
>Require analysis >Ask yourself: "What should be done first?" |
(EXAM Q's CONTENT)
|
|
|
Common Format of Application Q's:
>"What should you do first?" |
(EXAM Q's CONTENT)

Tasks to Case Study Analysis:
>Determine the BEHAVIOR the client is exhibiting >Identify contributing FACTORS responsible for the client's actions or primary problem >What procedures, CONCEPTS, legal issues, theoretical models, or ethical considerations will determine your interactions with the client? >What should your ACTIONS be taking into consideration: CONCEPTS, BEHAVIORS, FACTORS? |
(EXAM Q's STRATEGY)
|
|
|
In MOST case studies, before you take an action, make an assessment - look at the options that deal with assessing the client.

When answering reasoning questions, you are looking for the response that's best and most complete for the particular case study. Focus on what is being asked.
|
(EXAM Q's STRATEGY)
|
|
|
In reasoning questions, focus on MODIFIERS (most or least, likely, significant, important, appropriate, priority, best), SITUATION (intervention, diagnosis, characteristic, facilitate, referral, resolving, describing)
|
(EXAM Q's STRATEGY)
|
|
|
The BEST choice when a number of correct choices are given in order of correctness:
-The answer is Correct and Applies to all aspects of the question -The answer is Correct and Applies only to a portion of the question -The answer is Correct but Applies only to one example of the question |
(EXAM Q's STRATEGY)
|
|
|
When all else fails:
-Absolutes (always, never) are usually incorrect responses -Qualifiers (usually, sometimes) are usually correct responses -Correct choices may be noticeably longer or shorter than incorrect answers -If two choices are opposites, one of them is probably correct -If choices are numerical, the correct answer may be the middle value -Correct answers may be more precisely worded than incorrect choices |

When asked "What do you do NEXT/FIRST?":
>Helps to know the below list of tasks in order >Always look for these within the answers, and, given two options, choose the one closest to the top of the list... Feelings Assess Refer Educate Advocate Facilitate Intervene |
