D., LICSW  \nMADDISAN HEIDEBRINK  \nTAYLOR ERNSTE  \nAPPLICATIONS (APP)  \n• Online Practice Test: • Cell Phone:  \n• [https://www.aswb.org/exam/getting](https://www.aswb.org/exam/getting)ready-for-the-exam/online-practicetest/  \nTEST TAKING SKILLS  \nThe Bachelors Licensing Exam is:  \nA grueling, difficult, endurance test which is 170 questions (4 hours to complete). The one must be ready to read, comprehended, and apply the concepts learned from the BSSW curriculum.  \nOne will spend about 70 seconds or less on each question. This will permit one to have about 40 minutes to take breaks or time to review one’s answers.  \nTime management is key. Advice: Take the ASWB practice exam about 30 days prior to the test day. Use one’s phone to time 70 seconds. Determine how much you can read and make a decision within  \n70 seconds. Practice this to develop an internal clock.  \nWhile taking the exam take at least 2 breaks. One at 70th and 85th questions and one the 140th- 150th questions. Take time to move (stretch, stand up, stretch one’s neck and arms). At the 140th question take a break then return to the test and decided if a review of questions is needed.  \n• One’s brain consumes 20% of one’s energy. Therefor, eat a nutritional food before one begins the exam and during one’s break. One cannot take a snack into the testing room (unless medically required) but have the snack in the waiting room in case one needs a snack.  \n• Have a friend or family member take you to the exam. Arrive 30 minutes early.  \n• Strategies for answering specific questions will reduce one’s anxiety level. Also, anxiety and stressed are reduced by exercise. Exercise a few days before the exam. Stress and anxiety are chemical pumping through one’s body. The quickest way is to filter the kidneys through kidneys. People feel better after a walk or workout. Increased heart rate will remove these chemicals faster. Take a 15-minute walk before studying and before taking the exam.  \nINFORMATION ABOUT THE EXAM  \n• ASWB’s Bachelors Social Work Licensing Content Outline and KSAS:  \n•  [https://www.aswb.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2018-Bachelors. pdf](https://www.aswb.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2018-Bachelors. pdf)  \n• ASWB Examination Guidebook:  \n•  [https://www.aswb.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ASWB-Examination-Guidebook. pdf](https://www.aswb.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ASWB-Examination-Guidebook. pdf)  \n• Applying for the Exam:  \n• Prior to last semester schedule to take the bachelor’s exam during the break before the  \n last semester (summer or winter break)  \n • One must wait 3 months before taking it again if one fails the exam.
