Many students report increasing test anxiety in the months before taking the national social work licensure exam. We evaluate whether adding a test-anxiety-reduction module to an online exam preparation course reduces MSW students’ test anxiety. A non-equivalent pretest-posttest control-group design was used to compare 42 students who did not participate in the course (Group 1), 16 students who enrolled in the course and completed the test-taking strategies module only (Group 2), and 15 students who enrolled in the course and completed both the test-taking strategies module and the new test-anxiety-reduction module (Group 3) on test anxiety. The post-hoc comparison analysis showed Group 3 differed from Group 1: students who completed the test-taking and test-anxiety-reduction modules experienced a greater reduction in test anxiety than students who did not enroll in the course. The other comparison tests were not statistically significant (Group 1 v. Group 2; Group 2 v. Group 3). Preparing students for the licensure exam by teaching both modules – test-taking and anxiety-reduction strategies – appears to benefit MSW students, with modest costs – in time and money – for social work programs.
