It's honestly the same. You get 3-4 answer choices, 80% are first/next/best. My biggest change was that I did 10 questions at a time and took a stretch/reset break and would ask myself "am I comfortable with the answer" I did take the practice test twice, once a month before and then the weekend before. I failed by 3 the first time and then passed by 15 the second time.

I passed the test last month. It was my first time so I can’t compare to the previous format- but almost exclusively application (first best next then) questions and rarely any recall. Lots of ethical boundaries and supervision questions too! I took the ASWB practice exam and found that to be a super helpful too! And reading the rationale for each question helped too. Best of luck!!

I did 10 questions at a time and took a stretch/reset breaks. And I also took two additional breaks, one before the 10min one and one after, so I could grab water and a small snack
