Introduction

Overview
Welcome to my free eBook Preparing for the Masters ASWB Exam! I am passionate about removing barriers to social work licensure.
I was inspired to develop this resource based on the following:
- Former students who shared facing financial struggles preparing for the ASWB Masters exam on top of the cost of the exam. I view their experiences as social and economic justice issues.
- Problems with the ASWB exams that are barriers to licensure for social workers.
This preparation aims to provide students and social workers with free preparation materials about the ASWB Masters exam, test-taking strategies, and content related to the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) of the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Masters Exam. While some of the information, such as the content outline information, is specific to the ASWB Masters exam, most of the content is also relevant to the Bachelor and Clinical exams.
Best wishes,
Alexandria Lewis, Ed.S., MSW, LCSW

Organization of the content
The content outline information in the eBook is not organized in the same order as the ASWB Masters content outline to enhance your study experiences. The KSAs included in the various chapters are highlighted at the top of each chapter. As I add new content, I will continue to organize the chapters in a manner that connects similar topics and broader topics.
Search Tool: The eBook has a search tool where you can search various topics.
Format Note: Unfortunately, words at the end of a line are automatically hyphenated by the Pressbooks program when using a regular browser.
What the exam “is and isn’t”
As you engage in your licensure exam preparation process, remember:
- The exam is a standardized national social work exam.
Conflict of Interest/Disclosure: I have no financial disclosures; the eBook is free. The information included in this preparation does not use information from the ASWB exams and adheres to the confidentiality of the ASWB exams. I do not hold any former or current affiliation with the ASWB.
