How are LEAP's products different than those of its competitors?

LEAP's pass rates top the charts. LEAP updates products at least once per year and LEAP also produces materials that are specific to the SOCIAL WORK exam. One of the most expensive companies (a LEAP competitor), produces study materials that are for other mental health professional exams and then advertises them for social work and changes the cover page! According to our review, approximately 40% of the information in the multiple volume study guide they sell, is not likely to be covered on the various social work exams (and sometimes impossible as some of the information is not even covered in a Social Work program). Be a careful consumer! We also track our pass rates- for all customers not a favorite select few- and we are pleased to have record success!

Each year we receive thank you cards, phone calls and emails of appreciation from our customers. A few comments have been compiled and are listed below (with permission):

"I had been out of school for eleven years, and knew I was facing a huge task in preparing myself for the test. After researching the best materials available to facilitate the study process I chose to purchase LEAP's study guide. When I called to discuss the purchase, an individual with LEAP spent time on the phone with me walking me through the study process; providing me with important tips and areas of focus to assist me as I began the long journey toward test readiness. One month prior to taking the test I contacted LEAP again to ask for assistance in ascertaining where I was in the process as far as test readiness. LEAP, once again, provided fantastic guidance and advice. I am happy to announce I successfully passed the LSCSW exam on my first try yesterday!! The material provided in the study guide was extremely beneficial, and undoubtedly made the difference between my passing or failing the exam. The practice test was very useful."

"I just wanted to let you know that one week (to the day) of taking the live course in DC, I passed my ASWB Clinical exam by a very comfortable margin! I used the audio CDs to reinforce the study guide from class (I am an auditory learner). Thanks again for your help!"

"I just passed my CSW in April and because of it I was able to get a new job!! Thank you so much for this great program that I have recommended to others. The study guide and audio CD’s were a tremendous help to me. Thanks again!"

"I can not recall the presenter or the coordinator's name, but the dark haired young lady was so helpful when I attended the class. She even took the time to discuss with me my concerns as I was preparing to take the test for the fifth time. I am very happy that I paid the money to attend your class and even happier that I passed. Your staff was wonderful and proof of what you do is priceless for what you have assisted me with in one weekend. Thank you, thank you and thanks again..."

"Well, I PASSED my LISW exam on Saturday!! Kym, I could not have accomplished this without your help and support. I can not thank you enough for what you helped to achieve. I will always be grateful to LEAP!!"

"I just wanted to thank you for your commitment to helping social work students pass their licensing exams. I passed my Master's level exam today, on the first try. I purchased the comprehensive study guide and audio course last year, and used them for about 4 months prior to the exam. I also purchased a full-length, timed practice exam. I'm very happy with the outcome, so thanks again."

"I just wanted to let you know that I took the clinical exam today and passed. I got 124 questions right [83%- way above the needed passing score]. I feel this weekend’s course definitely gave me the boost I needed to pass the test. Thanks for all your help!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I passed my LICSW exam in December after using your Comprehensive Study Guide and Diagnostic Guide. I found them to be very helpful and they undoubtedly helped to prepare me and ease my stress level as the exam approached. Thanks very much for a very effective, comprehensive product!"

"I just wanted to let the staff at LEAP know that I passed the LMSW today, Dec 30, on the first attempt. I live in Atlanta, GA and attended the preparation seminar in Washington, DC. The exam was definitely challenging. Had I not taken the prep class and without your study guide I would have been lost. The only other item I used in addition to the study guide was my human behavior book. Your knowledge, expertise and professionalism are greatly appreciated. I will be looking to utilizing LEAP again when I begin preparing for the LCSW. Thank you very much."

Janet C.

"After 20 years of trying to take the Clinical exam, I finally passed after I studied from your book. I was almost ready to leave the profession and you saved me! I can not tell you how much this means to me. I tried every company out there and did not pass until I had the LEAP materials."

Margaret J.

"I passed my Bachelor's licensing exam with flying colors. The book helped me out so much and helped me guide my studying for the exam. Thank you again"

I just wanted to let you know that you can add one more passing score to your count; I passed my LMSW test last Tuesday!!!! I want to thank you for the wonderful CD set, I truly believe that helped more than words can express. I wish I could send you some chocolate éclairs!!!!! You made me laugh and relaxed while listening/studying. I appreciate all that you do. Have a wonderful day.

I took three months off from studying after failing the first time (did not use LEAP products). I then this past weekend after listening to the LEAP audio reviewed the LEAP written material for the first time and passed! The audio REALLY made a HUGE difference. I was in a study group for 6 months prior to taking the test the first time. We meet about three times a month. I found one time of listening to the audio more helpful then all my group meetings.

"I just wanted to let you know that on my third attempt, I FINALLY passed my Clinical Exam! I have tried different study guides and nothing helped until I ordered your book. :) I am so very happy! I am actually still in a state of disbelief!

Thank you so much for all of your help! Especially, to Kymberly! I spoke with her several times on the phone. I did not take your two day training workshop; I just ordered the book and studied until I felt comfortable with the material. I truly enjoyed your study guide, as it was not too long or too brief as some of the others I have tried in the past."

"I wanted to inform you I took the Masters licensing exam yesterday and I PASSED! I am not going to lie, it was hard but I feel that your class/book really helped me to pass the test. I really appreciate the tools you gave me. I will be contacting you in about 2 to 2 1/2 years to prep for the clinical exam."

Jenny C.

I now have my clinical license. I just have to say that your study guides are terrific and right on but that interactive course really placed me over the top in terms of preparation. The interactive course helped me focus on some of the details of the study guide I might have missed otherwise and really helped me understand what I needed to focus on for the test. Thank you for offering these wonderful programs.

"This will be my second time attending one of your classes. I took a class in Maryland back in December of 2005. I took my test and I passed! I'm now preparing for my Clinical examination and am taking your class again!"

Myisha L.

"I passed the Clinical ASWB exam this past Saturday. I studied almost exclusively from your material. I felt that the study guide was comprehensive yet concise and to the point. The practice exams were helpful as well. Thanks so much for the useful study material!"

"I am sending you this short note to let you know that I took and passed the LCSW exam yesterday, with an 86, so I am particularly happy that I passed by a nice margin. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that I took the course in Kansas City. I feel it most definitely prepared me to pass and move on professionally. "

Eric C.T.

"Just a note to let you know that yesterday, in North Miami Beach Florida, I took the exam and passed with an 81. Not bad for an old Social Worker! I thank both of you for your insightful program, and very well written study guide. The program definitely helped me be successful in this endevour."

I wanted to write and tell you that I ordered the 6 CD set with the comprehensive study guide and diagnostic guide several months ago. I was preparing for my clinical exam after being out of school for 11 years and only working part-time in the field. I listened to the CD set about four times and read the study guide twice. I also took the practice exams in the back twice. I'm happy to report that I took my clinical exam for the first time on Monday and passed with an 81%! I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation for a job well done. Your materials were very helpful and I attribute a huge part of my success to you. Thanks again for your help...I'll refer you to all my friends.

I took and passed the Arizona MSW licensing exam April 2. I attribute a great amount of that success to your study guide with its practice test and your December workshop in Phoenix I attended… When I began preparing for my exam I was a mess. Desperate, I ordered a study aid which was two large binders targeted for psychologists and social workers. It only confounded my difficulties. Two additional aids still were of no help. Since, I had a 4.0+ grade average, was constantly reminded that my research papers did not have to be comprehensive; I knew my problem was not insufficient knowledge but an inability to condense information and over analyzing questions.

Fortunately, a former classmate told me about your products.  As an older student, there was always that nagging idea that maybe I wasn’t up to it. Your workbook and workshop provided the guidance I needed to dismiss that notion and thereby pass the exam, for which I am very grateful.

In the December workshop I was impressed and appreciated your attentiveness and willingness to help as well as Dr. Delewski’s ability to merge and condense academic and practice knowledge and then present it in a succinct manner.

I have passed my test today ... the one I got was VERY hard I thought but using your tests very helpful. There is way more abstract thinking than memorization going on and way less straight information. I have returned to practice after a 22 year absence.

As promised, I am e-mailing you to report in with my results. I ordered the comprehensive study guide a month ago or so, studied it like crazy, and passed the exam this past Saturday. Just for some background, I graduated with my MSW degree nearly 9 years ago and for a variety of mishaps and life events, I never managed to get my supervision settled to where I could take the exam. So when I finally had it scheduled, I knew I had my work cut out for me in terms of trying to refresh my memory. Your study guide was thorough, up to date in terms of new treatments and medications, and very helpful. It saved me from digging through boxes in my basement on a search for old textbooks. Thank you!

And, in particular, I must mention a special thanks to the gal that I spoke with on the phone on the day that I ordered the study guide. I’m sorry – I don’t recall her name, but she was very helpful in terms of discussing general preparation for taking this exam and understood my concern for being out school for so long. She provided some helpful study tips and it felt like I was talking to an MSW classmate, which was very nice. And in particular, an extra note of thanks to her for actually chasing the postman down the street to ensure that my study guide landed in my mailbox in a timely manner! J I was in a time crunch and she went the extra mile for me. Thank you!!!

Keep up the great work. I’ll definitely recommend you in the future.

I just wanted to let you know that after purchasing your comprehensive study guide and studying it, I passed the master's level social work licensing exam! I am so excited to be licensed and was unsure of how I would do on the exam as I have been out of school for 3 years. I am very happy that I purchased this guide as I am not sure I would have passed without it.

I am writing this letter of recommendation for the LEAP program that prepares individuals for the Masters level social work exam. Even though I am a new practitioner, with the help from the folks from LEAP, I passed on my first attempt. I found the exam and the preparation requirements for the exam difficult. Therefore, I recommend that anyone attempting to pass obtain the help of professionals. The combination of written materials coupled with their CDs was an excellent resource toward this end. The folks at LEAP not only presented excellent materials, but also were available for personal support and encouragement.

I just wanted to let you know that I finally passed the fifth time I took the test (did not previously use LEAP’s products). I used your study guide and the class to help me. I appreciate all your help!!!
