How it works

Three steps, and the app does the deciding for you.

No study plan to build, no guessing what to review. Answer questions, and your readiness score tells you exactly where you stand and what to do next.

1

Take the diagnostic

Ten questions across the blueprint set your real starting score in about eight minutes — no self-assessment, no guessing where you stand.

8 minutesSets your baseline
2

Practice in short sessions

Ten-minute sets pulled from your weakest sections. Every answer comes with the reasoning and why each wrong option is wrong — the part that actually moves your score.

Explained answersWeak-area targeting
3

Level up to Exam Ready

Each section climbs from Novice to Exam Ready as coverage and accuracy build. Mock exams unlock at 70 readiness, so your first full attempt actually means something.

Everything you get

Nine ways the app keeps you moving.

Questions are the core. Everything around them exists to keep you honest about where you stand and coming back tomorrow.

ASWB progress screen with readiness, accuracy trend and activity grid

Progress report

Accuracy trend, study days, mistakes waiting for you, and every active day on one screen. It tells you the truth even when the truth is "not yet".

Mastery by area across every ASWB content area

Mastery by area

Every content area, tracked. "Needs review" is flagged in gold so you always know which one to open next.

Casey, the personal social work tutor chat

Instant tutor help

Casey sits one tap away on every screen. Ask why an answer is right, or what to study next, without leaving your session.

ASWB flashcard answer with a memory aid and recall rating buttons

Flashcards with memory aids

Spaced repetition on the concepts you keep missing — each card comes with a mnemonic written for the way this exam actually asks it.

Mad Minute lobby — beat the clock and create a challenge

Mad Minute

Sixty seconds, same ten questions, one shared link. Most correct wins and the faster run breaks the tie.

ASWB league leaderboard ranked by readiness

League

Ranked by readiness against everyone sitting the same exam this week. A quiet, effective reason to open the app again tomorrow.

ASWB achievements screen with badge progress

Achievements

Fourteen badges tied to real milestones — questions answered, accuracy held, days in a row. Earned, never given.

ASWB app home screen with readiness ring and today's quest

Daily quests, XP and streaks

Three small targets a day, worth 226 XP. Enough structure to start, short enough to actually finish.

Practice by topic — the ASWB level path from Novice to Exam Ready

Mock exams

Four timed, full-length papers — 4 hours each, built for the new 122-question format that most prep hasn't caught up to yet. They stay locked until 70 readiness, so your first attempt actually means something.

Coverage

Every content area of the new ASWB blueprint. Nothing padded.

We mapped all three official August 2026 ASWB content areas — Values and Ethics, Assessment and Planning, and Intervention and Practice — then wrote questions until each one had enough to matter.

Who writes the questions

Written and reviewed against the new August 2026 ASWB content outline.

Every question is written and reviewed against the new August 2026 ASWB content outline by licensed social workers — then rewritten when the outline changes. If an item is ambiguous, we cut it. That is why the bank is 1,184 questions and not 5,000.

Blueprint-mapped

Each item is tagged to one of the three ASWB content areas before it ever reaches you.

Reviewed, not generated

Questions are drafted by licensed social workers, checked against the new August 2026 ASWB content outline, and retired when the outline changes.

Explanations first

Nothing ships without the reasoning and a note on why each distractor fails.

Frequently asked

Everything about the BSW exam.

Am I eligible to sit for the BSW exam?
Your state licensing board approves your application first — for the Bachelors level, that typically means a completed BSW degree from a CSWE-accredited program, with no post-degree experience required in most states. Once approved, you register with ASWB, pay the exam fee, and schedule your seat at a Pearson VUE test center.
How many questions are on the real exam?
As of August 3, 2026, the ASWB exams use a new format: 122 multiple-choice questions — 110 scored and 12 unscored pretest items you can't identify, so treat every question as if it counts — with 4 hours to complete them. More questions now use three answer options instead of four. Our mock set includes full-length mocks built for exactly this new format.
What score do I need to pass?
The exam is pass/fail. On the new format, the passing score generally falls between 66 and 78 correct of the 110 scored questions, varying with each exam form's difficulty. There's no fixed percentage — ASWB sets the standard per form.
What does the exam cover?
The new blueprint consolidates the old four content areas into three — Values and Ethics (now the highest-weighted area), Assessment and Planning, and Intervention and Practice — and our question bank uses those exact official names. The emphasis has shifted toward applied judgment: what a social worker should do first, next, or best.
How does this app help me pass?
It removes the decision of what to study. The readiness score weighs coverage and accuracy across all three ASWB content areas, then routes each session at your weakest areas. Every answer is explained — including why the other options fail — so you build the FIRST/NEXT/BEST reasoning the exam actually tests.
What do the plans cost?
Monthly is $29.99, charged today and renewed monthly. Weekly is $7.99 — good for a short sprint before your exam date. Annual is $149.99, about $12.50 a month. Every plan unlocks everything: Casey, mock exams, flashcards, Mad Minute, and the readiness score. No tiers, no upsells.
How do I cancel?
Open your account settings and tap Cancel subscription. It takes effect at the end of your current period and you keep access until then. No email, no support ticket.
How does the $100 Pass Bonus work?
  • Open to new subscribers aged 18 or over. Not available if you have subscribed to The Health Exams before.
