Studying for the ASWB exam, you quickly learn: knowing the content isn't always enough.
Many capable social workers don't struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because the exam requires a very specific way of thinking — strategic, structured, and disciplined under pressure.
That's why we built Exam Coach.
What Is Exam Coach?
Exam Coach is a strategy companion built directly into SWTP. It's an added layer, strengthening how you move through exams.
As you work through practice questions in Study or Review mode, Exam Coach provides structured guidance to help you slow down your thinking, clarify what the question is really asking, avoid common traps, and build clinical reasoning under timed conditions. It's not about memorizing more. It's about thinking better.
Why We Built It
After years of helping thousands of social workers prepare for licensure, one pattern kept emerging. People would say things like, "I knew the material… but I second-guessed myself." Or, "I narrowed it down to two and picked the wrong one." Or, "I changed my answer at the last minute."
Those aren't knowledge gaps. They're strategy gaps. Exam Coach was created to close them.
How It Works
Instead of reacting emotionally to a tough question, you learn how to identify the core issue, separate clinical content from distractors, anchor your reasoning in ethics and best practice, and choose deliberately — not anxiously. Over time, that thinking becomes automatic.
Who It's For
Exam Coach is especially helpful if you feel confident with content but inconsistent with scores, if you tend to overthink or change answers, or if you find yourself stuck between "best," "first," and "most appropriate." If you've ever finished a question and thought, "Why did I pick that?" — this tool is for you.
The Goal
Passing the ASWB exam isn't just about knowing the right answer. It's about recognizing it with clarity and confidence. Exam Coach helps you build that skill.
It's now available inside SWTP. Start practicing — and start thinking like the exam.
