All three major content areas from the 2026 ASWB Examination Guidebook: I. Values and Ethics, II. Assessment and Planning, and III. Intervention and Practice. Each exam level has specific percentage weightings for these areas. Our analytics show your performance across each domain.

ASWB exams use a raw-score passing standard that is converted to a scaled score. Candidates typically need between 96 and 106 correct answers out of 150 (under the older blueprint) or approximately 70-75% on scored items under the 2026 122-question blueprint. Exact cut scores vary slightly by test form difficulty.
