The 2026 ASWB exam is shedding rote memorization in favor of real-world application. It’s no longer about proving what you can remember it’s about proving how you practice. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Robin Bartee, LCSW, an exam prep creator and social work expert within the Level Education Group family. Together, they break down the major 2026 ASWB exam overhaul and explore what this massive shift toward competency-based testing actually means for candidates. Robin brings over two decades of diverse field experience to the conversation. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, her career spans community education, non-profit leadership, therapy, and clinical supervision. After earning her master’s degree in Bilingual/Bicultural Social Work from New Mexico Highlands University, she later returned to her alma mater as a contingent faculty member teaching social work ethics and research methods. Passionate about mentoring the next generation of professionals and building "self-sustaining healing systems," Robin lends her deep expertise to help candidates cut through the test anxiety, understand the new exam structure, and trust their clinical reasoning. Whether you're a recent graduate or a seasoned veteran in the field, this episode is your strategic roadmap to conquering the new exam layout.
