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 that need to be addressed.
- Structural issues (how questions are written) with the ASWB exams that are barriers to licensure for social workers.
This preparation provides 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 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 for the Bachelor and Clinical exams.
If this eBook helps you prepare for and pass the exam, I appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to send me a LinkedIn message to share your feedback. I also share free practice questions, tips, and resources on LinkedIn.
If you are a social work educator using this eBook with your students, I am interested in learning how you incorporate the eBook into your teaching!
Best wishes,
Alexandria Lewis, Ed.S., MSW, FT, LCSW
Let’s connect on LinkedInOrganization 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 that the exam is a standardized national social work exam.
