Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

With what frequency does the ASCA recommend that a school counselor complete a use-of-time assessment?

1. Once a week

2. Bimonthly

3. Once a year

4. At least twice a year

The correct answer is: At least twice a year

The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends that school counselors complete a use-of-time assessment at least twice a year. This is to ensure that school counselors are effectively using their time to meet the needs of their students and school community. Choosing option C, once a year, may not provide enough opportunities for reflection and improvement in time management. Option A, once a week, may be too frequent and not allow for sufficient time to gather meaningful data. Option B, bimonthly, may also not provide enough opportunities for reflection and improvement. Therefore, the recommended frequency is at least twice a year.
