Social Work Program- SWAT
So I did the SWAT last year and I didn't end up getting into the social work program. I was just wondering if there is anyone who DID get in and are currently in the social work program that could give me some advice on the type of answers you wrote for your swat test.
What types of things did you include that would be really helpful?
Thanks a lot.

And yes, I know that the swat test is only 50% of the reason they accept you but I have really good marks and I met with someone and went over my last years test and they said that it was the reason I didnt get in.

I wrote the test last year, it's really hard to say how to do well on the SWAT, it's all about your character, personality and how you view the world. If you took 1A06, think about how you view the world and draw course concepts based on that perspective. Also talk about the person you are, why you think you'd do well in the program, and any volunteer/work experience you may have. Also, think about 1A06 very carefully when doing the case study. That's the best advice I can give.

Best of luck!
