Social Work Admissions Test
Hey! I'm about to write the SWAT this wednesday and was wondering if anyone who has taken it in previous years would be able to give me an idea of how the test is. Any sort of advice would be awesome, thanks!

i wrote it yesterday... try to think about what mac's school of social work's philosophy means because there is a question about what do you think it means and why you think you are suitable for social work. There was also case scenarios and you have choice

Definitely, also think about how you view the world, think about how individual problems are caused by social structures. Analyze everything using the school's philosophy. Best of luck in getting into one of the best programs at mac!

Make sure you use anti-oppressive practice anywhere you can, they will like that a lot.
