Abstract: In this paper we investigate the exactness of the WKB quantization condition for translationally shape invariant systems. In particular, using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we generalize the Langer correction and show that it generates the exact quantization condition for all conventional potentials. We also prove that this correction is related to the previously proven exactness of SWKB for these potentials.
