An independent study tool for the ASWB social work licensing exams — Clinical (LCSW), Masters (LMSW) and Bachelors (LBSW) / Associate. 1,100 case-based practice questions, each explained.
WRITTEN TO THE OUTLINE THAT TOOK EFFECT AUGUST 3, 2026
The Social Work Licensing Exam changed: three content areas instead of four, 122 items instead of 170, and items that carry three or four answer options rather than always four. This bank was written to that outline from the start.
WHAT YOU GET
- 1,100 practice questions across the three content areas: Values and Ethics; Assessment and Planning; Intervention and Practice.
- Every item follows the exam's published item style: a short case, then one judgment call — what to do FIRST, what comes NEXT, which condition is MOST likely.
- A full explanation on every question, plus a separate reason for each wrong option, so you learn why the tempting choice was wrong.
- Practice by content area, or drill your weak topics.
- Full-length timed practice exam across the three content areas.
- Missed-question review notebook.
- 230 flashcards and a study note for every topic.
- Works offline. No account, no sign-up.
THREE EXAMS, ONE BANK
Every question is written to content the three licensing levels share, so one bank supports study for the Clinical exam behind LCSW, the Masters exam taken after an MSW for LMSW, and the Bachelors exam behind LBSW — Associate candidates are examined on the Bachelors outline. Check the content outline and eligibility rules for your exam category and jurisdiction. Level-specific practice is being added.
WHAT IT COVERS
Ethical decision making, boundaries and dual relationships. Confidentiality and its legal limits — protected health information, duty to warn and protect, mandated reporting. Informed consent, self-determination and capacity. Biopsychosocial assessment. Trauma, violence and substance use. Risk assessment for suicide, abuse and neglect. Treatment planning. Crisis intervention. Individual, family and group intervention. Supervision.
