Free Practice Questions for ASWB

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.

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.

Exams given since August 3, 2026 use the 2026 blueprints, based on ASWB's 2024 practice analysis. Every category now tests three content areas instead of four: Values and Ethics (35%, 36% on Clinical), Assessment and Planning (33%, 32% on Clinical) and Intervention and Practice (32%). The exam has fewer questions (122 instead of 170), more three-option items and the same four-hour limit.

Results are reported as pass/fail. The number of correct answers needed depends on the exam form and generally falls between 66 and 78 of the 110 scored questions. Every jurisdiction that uses the exams recognizes the same passing standard for a category, and your score report shows the number needed to pass and the number you answered correctly.
