Generally, you begin by applying for your license. Once the board reviews your application, it notifies you of your eligibility to take the test. After you receive this notification, you may call ASWB to register for the examination. The ASWB examinations are administered electronically at testing sites across the country. The examinations are given on-demand at these sites, which are usually open during normal business hours.
Some sites are also open on evenings and weekends.
Once you have registered for the exam and received authorization, you may call a test site to schedule an appointment at your convenience. Although the ASWB examinations are administered through a computer, they require no previous computer experience. The equipment will allow you to skip questions and return to them, change your answers, and flag questions for later review. You will be given a brief tutorial on the operation of the computer. But many states do allow special arrangements for candidates whose primary language is something other than English.
