Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ASWB vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the ASWB vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 44 ASWB terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the ASWB terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the ASWB / Pearson VUE content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
How many questions are on the ASWB exam?
Since August 3, 2026 the exam has 122 total questions: 110 scored items and 12 unscored pretest items, delivered as two 61-question sections. You cannot identify which items are unscored while testing.
How long is the ASWB exam?
The exam has a 4-hour time limit (two 61-question sections of two hours each); the appointment is scheduled about 30 minutes longer for check-in, the tutorial and the exit survey. Because the exam is scenario-heavy, pacing and best-answer decision logic are critical.
