The exam is entirely multiple choice, and each question has either 3 possible answer choices (A, B, and C), or 4 possible answer choices (A, B, C, and D). Note that this is a new change for 2023. Before 2023, every question had 4 possible answer choices (A, B, C, and D). Either way, each question has only one correct answer. There are 3 types of questions that you will see:
Recall Questions
Recall questions test your memory of factual information that you can recognize or remember from your social work coursework or your studying for the exam.
Application Questions
Application questions test your ability to apply factual information to a case scenario. You may be asked what a social worker should do in a particular situation.
Reasoning Questions
Reasoning questions involve case vignettes that may have both relevant and irrelevant information. In a reasoning question, you are required to think critically and analyze a situation using your social work knowledge and skills.
