Common questions about preparing for this exam
Three to four months. SWLE covers four subjects — Human Behavior & Social Environment, SW Practice, Welfare Programs, and Research. DSWD program knowledge is heavily tested, so don't skim it.
PRC requires a general weighted average of 75% with no subject below 50%. RA 4373 (the Social Work Law) and the Code of Ethics show up across multiple subjects — internalise both.
PRC scheduled the SWLE for September 9-11, 2026. SWLE is annual. Application opens through online.prc.gov.ph by July.
