Should the Licensing Exam be the only tool used to determine our right to earn and be granted a license?

Social Workers are being fired for not being able to pass a Standardized Test. To preserve the integrity of our profession, I agree with the need for licensing. However, should we be thrown out to the wolves because we are not “good test takers?” Considering the sacrifices we have made to fulfill the philosophies of the Social Work profession, the debt we have incurred in the process, the money invested in passing this endeavor and the unjustified monetary level at which we are compensated, I think an alternate method of testing should be used to measure the competence of social workers. What do you think??
