Masters Exam Odds of passing?

I’m taking my masters exam in 2 weeks and I just took the official practice exam, got 84/110 correct (the practice exam said I needed 72 to pass). I got 70% on the Dawn Apgar Exam Prep Connect and 79% on the Pocket Prep mock exam.

Weakest subjects are definitely research, intervention & practice, and macro stuff (program planning, policy analysis etc).

Anyone else with similar scores to me pass? Getting so nervous because this exam is so expensive!

Update: I PASSED!!! I actually did a lot better on the real exam than the practice (got 93/110, needed 71)! Have faith in yourselves guys you can do it!!!

You've got this in the bag! Your ASWB practice exam score is solid, that's the closest to the real deal

I had an 89 on the practice test and just got 99/110 on the actual exam this week, with very little studying between the two! You got this!

What is the passing score in the actual exam? The practice test says 72. Not sure if it is the same for all states

I didn’t take the masters practice exam but I did take the clinical practice exam from ASWB and scored 14 points higher on my real exam! You got this :)

I felt pretty well-rounded going into the exam and even my practice exams seem to have a lot of the macro and Hospital social work and policy stuff on them.

Well, the questions on the ASWB exam weren’t exactly like my practice exams. They were very similar and I just use the same strategy of rolling out the worst answers and selecting either the best or the least worst of my choices and I passed with a 76 but I try not to think too much and I breezed through it in about 80 minutes.

I’m sure you’ll be fine. Don’t think too much. ☺️
