Beta Period Testing

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 5, 2026. Exams taken up through and on November 30, 2025, will use the current content outline. Exams taken January 5, 2026, and after will use a new question format for the simulation portion of the exam, compiled through an exhaustive and inclusive process of job task review, new question writing and 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.

The ACM exam MUST be taken between January 5, 2026, - January 16, 2026. Please note that due to the process involved after the statistically significant number of tests have been administered, exam scores from this beta period will be delayed by up to 16 weeks. If you wish to test before November 30, 2025, and receive immediate scores, you will pay the full price for the exam.

We will not be able to grant any extensions if you purchase a discounted exam. Additionally, partial refunds will not be granted for ACM exam purchases made prior to the discount.

October 1, 2025 Update: You may receive a confirmation email from PSI; please disregard that email. You will receive a confirmation email from Pearson VUE within the next couple of weeks.
