What are the ASWB exams?

Congratulations on your decision to become a licensed social worker! The ASWB (Association of Social Work Boards) exam is your next hurdle.

Exactly what can you expect?

The ASWB licensing exams are used to verify that the social work candidate has the skills and knowledge to practice ethically and safely. The exams measure the minimum competency acceptable to practice at the entry level.

To register for an ASWB licensure exam, you must first submit a license application to your social work board and receive approval to register for the ASWB exam. Once you have the approval, you can register with ASWB for the appropriate exam. You will then receive an ASWB Authorization to Test notification. At that point you can schedule a testing appointment with Pearson VUE.

All ASWB exams consist of 170 four-option multiple-choice questions, of which 20 are non-scored items being pretested for possible use in future exams. Four hours are given to complete the exam on a Pearson VUE computer. Breaks may be taken during those four hours, but the time continues.

Scores are reported as pass/fail, with the number of questions needed to pass (pass point) and the number of questions answered correctly shown. The pass point varies from 93 to 107 of the 150 questions scored, depending on the version of the exam. You will receive a printed unofficial score report before leaving the testing center. Official test results will be forwarded to ASWB and the social work board in the jurisdiction in which you are applying for licensure within two weeks of you testing date.

Further information including a candidate handbook and exam content outlines is available at the ASWB website at www.aswb.org.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker - FAQ Sample Questions

The attachment theory of C. Ainsworth, J. Bowlby, and others identifies four general patterns of attachments. They are:

Correct Answer:
secure, ambivalent-insecure, avoidant-insecure, and disorganized-insecure
attachment theory, originally developed by john bowlby and later expanded by mary ainsworth and others, describes how the relationship between children and their caregivers influences their emotional and social development. this theory outlines four primary patterns of attachment that can develop between a child and their caregiver. these patterns are:

**secure attachment:** children with secure attachment feel safe when their caregiver is near. they use the caregiver as a secure base from which to explore the environment and seek the caregiver for comfort when frightened or distressed. securely attached children are generally well-adjusted and have positive relationships with others. this attachment style in childhood leads to healthy emotional and social development into adulthood.

**ambivalent-insecure attachment (also known as anxious-ambivalent):** children with ambivalent-insecure attachment often feel uncertain about whether their caregiver will respond to their needs. they may become excessively needy or clingy, showing high levels of distress when the caregiver leaves and ambivalence when the caregiver returns. this behavior results from inconsistent caregiving, where the child's needs are sometimes intensely met and sometimes ignored.

**avoidant-insecure attachment:** in this pattern, children typically learn to avoid seeking comfort from their caregivers. they appear to be indifferent when the caregiver leaves the room and avoids them upon return. this attachment style often develops in environments where emotions are not openly addressed or where the caregiver is emotionally unavailable. these children learn to rely heavily on themselves and often struggle with intimacy in relationships later in life.

**disorganized-insecure attachment:** this style is often seen in children who experience fear or fright from their caregivers. these children exhibit a lack of clear attachment behavior; their actions and responses to caregivers are often inconsistent and contradictory. disorganized attachment can occur in environments where there is abuse, neglect, or chaos. it is associated with severe adverse outcomes concerning a child's ability to regulate emotions and form healthy relationships.

attachment theory is critical because it highlights the importance of early relationships in the development of personal and interpersonal dynamics. it emphasizes that early emotional bonds influence the pattern of attachments in later life, affecting emotional stability, personal identity, and the ability to maintain successful social and romantic relationships. understanding these attachment styles helps caregivers, educators, and therapists provide better support for emotional and social development based on individual needs.
