Statement Regarding the ASWB Exams
ASWB released its 2022 ASWB Exam Pass Rate Analysis in early August 2022, confirming glaring disparities in pass rates among racial and other demographic groups. NASW does not support use of the ASWB exams in their current form and is advocating for significant changes to testing and regulation, including entry-level exam elimination where possible and alternative pathways to licensure.  However, as long as the ASWB exams remain an option, we will continue to offer this course at the lowest possible price to provide you with great resources and strategies to prepare for your exam. If you're an NASW member who has taken the exam and has not passed, or has financial barriers to registering for this course, we invite you to contact your NASW Chapter. 

*There is no Advanced Generalist electronic exam guide. Advanced Generalist registrants will receive the Clinical electronic exam guide.
