Beta Period Testing

The best practice in the credentialing industry is for exam forms to be reviewed and updated periodically. ACMA follows this practice and will be launching new exam forms for the ACM-SW and ACM-RN on January 1, 2024. Exams taken up through and on December 31, 2023, will use the current content outline. Exams taken January 1, 2024, and after will use a new content outline, compiled through an exhaustive and inclusive process of job task analysis, new question writing and review, form review, and scoring. Many subject matter experts holding a current ACM-RN or ACM-SW took part in question and form writing, review, and scoring, as did hundreds of you during the job task analysis part of the process.

The last step of this “rewrite” process is to evaluate newly administered questions after a statistically significant number of tests have been taken. This is a critical step to maintaining the integrity and validity of the ACM-SW and ACM-RN certifications. While ACMA isn’t happy with the idea of keeping you from receiving your results immediately, to skip this step in the rewrite process would jeopardize accreditation efforts and cause a lack of confidence in our exams.

As part of the discount guidelines, the exam must be taken anytime starting January 1st – February 15, 2024. We will not be able to grant any extensions beyond February 15, 2024. Additionally, refund requests for 50% discounted exams taken during the beta period will not be granted after February 15, 2024.
