Sample DEASS Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the DEASS exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 8+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1At a first social-work meeting, which opening best supports assessment?

A.Explain role and confidentiality, clarify the person's request, and explore priorities and context with them

B.Begin by assigning a solution

C.Collect only deficits

D.Promise that every requested benefit will be granted

Explanation: A transparent, participatory beginning supports trust and a shared understanding of needs, resources, rights, and constraints. Assessment is constructed with the person rather than imposed.

2A person faces eviction and has received a formal notice. What is the best initial response?

A.Give generic budgeting advice and close the case

B.Assess deadlines, housing status, household risks, rights, available evidence, and urgent legal or social-support pathways

C.Contact the landlord publicly without consent

D.Assume eviction can never be prevented

Explanation: Housing crises are time-sensitive and require accurate assessment of procedural stage, vulnerability, rights, and coordinated options. Action should be agreed and documented with the person.

3Which case note best distinguishes fact from professional interpretation?

A.The parent does not care

B.The home was terrible

C.The parent missed two named appointments; they reported a transport problem, and the impact and support options were discussed

D.Everyone agrees the family is difficult

Explanation: Professional writing records specific sources and observations and clearly frames analysis as analysis. This supports accountability, continuity, and fair decision-making.

4A competent adult discloses domestic violence but is not ready to leave. Which approach is most appropriate?

A.End support unless they leave immediately

B.Contact every relative without discussion

C.Confront the alleged perpetrator

D.Assess immediate danger and safeguarding duties, validate the disclosure, offer options and safety planning, and respect the person's pace within legal limits

Explanation: A trauma-informed response combines immediate safety assessment with autonomy, practical options, and continued access to support. Any mandatory action should be explained and limited to the lawful safeguarding need.

5What is the most appropriate basis for sharing case information with a partner service?

A.Share the full file whenever collaboration is convenient

B.Identify the purpose and legal basis, involve the person when appropriate, and share only necessary information securely

C.Use a personal messaging account

D.Exclude the person from all discussions

Explanation: Proportionate information sharing balances confidentiality, participation, continuity, and protection. The purpose, recipients, content, and relevant consent or statutory basis should be clear.

6A neighborhood group wants to address food insecurity. Which action best reflects collective social intervention?

A.Design a service without consulting residents

B.Focus only on one individual's file

C.Map needs and resources with residents and partners, agree objectives, act collectively, and evaluate access and outcomes

D.Measure success only by meeting attendance

Explanation: Collective intervention builds participation and partnerships around a shared analysis and evaluable objectives. Attendance is one process measure, not the complete result.

7A service reports that 80% of users completed a program, but people with unstable housing rarely enrolled. What is the key evaluation issue?

A.Completion among enrollees does not establish equitable reach; barriers and outcomes for the target population must be examined

B.The program is proven effective for everyone

C.Enrollment patterns cannot affect interpretation

D.Only staff satisfaction matters

Explanation: A high completion rate can coexist with exclusion at the access stage. Evaluation should examine reach, representativeness, outcomes, unintended effects, and reasons for nonparticipation.

8Which statement correctly describes this bank under the September 2026 DEASS framework?

A.It is the official French certification

B.It replaces 55 weeks of practice learning

C.It validates four competency blocks

D.It is an English MCQ adaptation for a six-semester, 180-ECTS diploma assessed through French written, oral, continuous, concluding, and practice-based work

Explanation: The 2025 arrêté applies to cohorts entering from September 2026 and organizes 3,442 hours across four competency blocks. This bank can support review but cannot replace institutional assessments or the state jury.
