ASWB changed this exam. Which version is this built for?
The current one. For administrations on or after 3 August 2026 the Clinical exam is 122 questions in 240 minutes — 110 scored and 12 pretest items that do not count — and you sit it in two sealed halves of 61, so you cannot go back to the first half once you close it. The 170-question form most people have heard about is retired. Everything here is built to the live version: the mocks are 122 questions on the 240-minute clock, and the bank and the guide follow the 2026 content outline, weighted the way ASWB weights it — Values and Ethics 36, Assessment and Planning 32, Intervention and Practice 32. Worth checking the question count on anything else you buy for this exam, from a book to a course; a 170-question practice test was written for the old paper.
How does the SurePass Guarantee work?
Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On Lifetime, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at “Getting close” or above and we also pay your full $260 retake fee — one funded retake. That 80% is OUR bar, not ASWB's, and it is deliberately stricter than anything ASWB requires. You file in your study portal with your official ASWB score report.
How many full-length mocks do I get?
Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 122-question paper built to the 2026 Clinical outline in the shares ASWB prints and timed to the real 240 minutes. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. Worth knowing what you are comparing that to. ASWB's own Online Practice Test is one 122-question paper you may sit once, for $85.
Which pass should I buy?
Lifetime, for most people sitting this exam, and the reason is the retake rule rather than the price. If you don't pass, ASWB makes you wait 90 days before you can test again and charges the full fee a second time — so a pass that expires in 30 days expires in the middle of a three-month wait, and you would be buying prep twice. Lifetime is also the only tier that pays your full $260 retake fee if you qualify and still don't pass. The 30-Day Pass is the right call if your date is already booked inside the month and you have done the reading; the 7-Day is built for the final week, when you want a last full sweep of the bank and one timed sitting on the real clock. Whichever you pick, an upgrade always credits what you already paid.
What score do I need to pass?
There isn't a single one, and ASWB says so itself: “Because each exam has multiple forms, there is no single correct number of questions that must be answered correctly to pass.” The passing score generally ranges from 66 to 78 correct answers out of the 110 scored questions, and it moves with the form you happen to sit — your report gives you a pass or fail verdict, not a percentage to beat. So if you are handed a single number to hit for this exam, check whose number it is. The 80% our mocks are marked against is ours, set well above the top of ASWB's range on purpose, and it is also the score that qualifies you for the guarantee.
What does the exam cost, and what happens if I fail?
ASWB charges US$260 to register for the Clinical exam and states plainly that all fees are nonrefundable. If you don't pass, there is no discounted second attempt — you register again and pay the $260 again — and you must wait 90 days before your next appointment. A waiver of that wait exists but it is narrow: your score has to be within 10 correct answers of passing AND your board has to allow waivers, and California and North Dakota do not permit them at all. That is what our Lifetime guarantee is aimed at: qualify, sit it, don't pass, and we refund your purchase and pay your full $260 retake fee. One thing to be clear about — that covers the ASWB registration fee and nothing else. Your board's own application, registration and licence fees are separate and can be substantial; New York alone charges $294 for licensure and first registration.
Are the questions like the real exam?
Mostly, and here is the part that is not. Every item is written to the 2026 Clinical content outline and weighted the way ASWB weights it, with four options, one key and a reason given for every option — including why each wrong one is wrong, which is where the recognise-the-best-answer skill this exam tests actually gets built. Most read the way the real ones do: a short clinical vignette, four defensible-sounding actions, one that is correct at that point in the process. What we do differently: ASWB's own sample questions include some with three options as well as four, and every question here has four. A four-option item is the harder of the two to guess, so our mocks read a shade tougher than the real paper — which is the honest reason our bar sits where it does.
What about ASWB's own materials?
Get the free ones on day one. ASWB's Examination Guidebook is a free PDF carrying the full 2026 content outline and 37 sample questions with rationales, and every registered candidate also gets the Test Mastery Inclusion resources — a self-assessment, a coaching guide, a guided journal and a webinar — at no cost, bundled with the fee you have already paid. Their Online Practice Test is the one that costs: $85 for a single 122-question paper, which you may sit once, with 30 days to review the questions and rationales afterwards. It comes from the body that writes the exam, which is something we cannot claim. What it is not is a study system — one paper, one sitting, no guide, no teaching, and nothing returned to you if the real exam goes badly. Prices move, so check them on aswb.org before you buy.
What happens when my pass expires?
Your account stays and your work stays with it — notes, highlights and flashcard history are all there if you come back. The paid features stop. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you left off, and an upgrade always credits what you already paid.
My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?
Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost, and on this exam dates move often: eligibility, board approval and Pearson VUE availability rarely line up on the first try.
Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?
Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, and the whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included — so a commute with no signal is still study time. Scored mocks and the tutor wait for a connection.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?
Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.
Why are SurePass guarantees limited?
Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
Have questions or concerns?
A real person reads every message and replies by email.
