About the ASWB Masters Exam
The ASWB Masters Examination is the MSW-level licensing exam used by U.S. states and Canadian provinces to credential MSW graduates (LMSW in many jurisdictions). The exam tests human behavior across the lifespan, biopsychosocial assessment using DSM-5-TR, evidence-based interventions with individuals/families/groups/communities, and professional values and ethics. Compared to the Bachelors exam, items emphasize complexity, diagnostic reasoning, and evidence-based practice.
Exam sponsor: ASWB. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

How do the ASWB Masters vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 ASWB Masters terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the ASWB Masters terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the ASWB content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What changed for the ASWB Masters exam in 2026?
Since August 3, 2026, the Masters exam follows a three-area blueprint: Values and Ethics (35%), Assessment and Planning (33%), and Intervention and Practice (32%). The exam went from 170 total items (150 scored + 20 pretest) to 122 (110 scored + 12 pretest), the four-hour time limit is unchanged, and a higher proportion of items have three options and test applied professional judgment.
Who is eligible to take the ASWB Masters exam?
Candidates need an MSW from a CSWE-accredited program (or equivalent international program) and approval to test from the social work board in the jurisdiction where they will be licensed. Many states allow MSW graduates to test for LMSW without post-degree clinical hours; clinical practice requires the ASWB Clinical exam after supervised clinical experience.
