The Clinical content outline has three areas: Values and Ethics 36 percent, Assessment and Planning 32 percent and Intervention and Practice 32 percent. ASWB reports pass or fail and does not publish a fixed passing percentage; your state board applies the passing score.

ASWB sets the exam fee and published figures differ between sites, so no amount is quoted here; confirm the current fee on aswb.org and with your board before you register. The content outline spreads questions across 3 areas; the largest are Values and Ethics (36.0%); Assessment and Planning (32.0%); Intervention and Practice (32.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. Your social work licensing board decides who may take the exam and sends the authorization; confirm the requirements with your board before you register.
