ASWB has contracted with FifthTheory, an independent firm with expertise in helping test-takers become aware of and develop the test mastery mindset that may help them succeed on high-stakes exams.
This program is offered at no cost to registered test-takers.
When you register for the social work licensing exam, your Authorization to Test email invites you to access the FifthTheory Test Mastery Inclusion program, beginning with its validated self-assessment.
If you choose to participate, you will receive an individualized report with information and insights you can use to prepare for and perform as well as possible on your exam. Participants will also receive a test mastery coaching guide, a guided journal, and access to a self-interpretation webinar and positive affirmation audio files.
