- Passing the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) exam requires thorough preparation and a solid understanding of behavior analysis principles. Here are some steps you can take to increase your chances of success. Study tips leading up to the exam, and tips to be successful during the exam. On top of that, I am going to explain this material using ABA terminology so you can have the opportunity to study while you watch.
1. Change your behavior to 'Study Mode'. You have to know the material front and back and the only way to do that is to study as much as you can. It's like back in the day when you really wanted to learn lyrics to a song you would listen to it over and over again and pause and rewind the part you missed until you memorized the whole song and the adlib. That's how hard you have to study this material.
2. Track your study days: You can track latency, or how long you spend time studying each day. You can track frequency or number of pages read from the textbook. Track and graph your progress
3. Adjust the response effort : Last time we talked about reducing the response effort to studying by making studying easy. We want to do the opposite for anything that can distract us from studying.
Put that group chat on mute, turn off your notifications, matter of fact leave you phone in your bag and leave your bag in the car. If you cant just cut off life, layer it!
Engage in behaviors that are also compatible with studying. That’s why I like going to coffee shops, or going to dinner alone. I use that time to study, while eating a delicious meal or indulging in my favorite caffeinated drink. If you have kids, take your kids to the park, the library, or chuck-e cheese. A place where they can entertain them and get some studying done.
4. Invest in Study Materials: Utilize study materials such as textbooks, online courses, study guides, and practice exams specifically designed for the BCBA exam. Make sure to use resources that align with the most recent BACB Task List.
Pass The Big ABA (PTABA) Study Manual - great for definitions & clear examples of every concept in ABA, $160 for 5th ed manual. (passthebigabaexam.com/product...)
BDS Modules - great for learning the formatting of exam questions, but more on the expensive side and takes a long time to finish fully (takes about 3-4 months to complete altogether). Some people also find them aversive due to their formatting. But this is the one I used and here we are!

5. Check with Cooper
Don't be afraid to write in your Cooper textbook. Highlight, insert sticky notes, draw a fuzzy baby bunny in the corner if that helps you remember a concept.
6. Have a contingency manager: That’s someone or something to hold you accountable
Sometimes your contingency partner could be the BACB, if you went ahead and scheduled your testing date for 3 months from now, instead of just studying without an end date, it may motivate you to be more consistent with studying.

Thank you for always sharing your resources
My pleasure!❤❤
Your book! How convenient that it would fall apart during filming 🥴 it really shows it’s been used 💪🏾*We are in the 3rd edition of Cooper now 😊
My book has been holding on for dear life. 😩 but I can’t get rid of it.
We are on the Third Addition. Love your content! This was really helpful information as a Master of ABA student❤
Glad to hear!! Thank you for also contributing to the content.
Hey! Miss watching your BCBA/ Fashion videos!
Ha ha 😂Coming soon!
Can you please send me ABA notes. Im using the 5th edition
What do you mean by ABA notes?
It was hard.
Thank you for this! I am getting my bachelors in psychology right now and am looking to start as an RBT once I graduate. Still not sure if I should just straight through and go into the ABA masters program instead
You are very welcome. Please keep us posted along your journey.
Side note: you can be an RBT now to see if you enjoy this type of work.
Notes are on her site already
I’m working at a company as a RBT and now I’m collecting unrestricted hours to become a BCBA. I know I can have more than one supervisor, but how can I collect hours from another supervisor at a different company when we don’t share a client?
Great question, your client (and or guardian) would have to sign a consent that your other supervisor can have access to video recordings of you work h with your client for supervision purposes.
Hi I'm new to ur channel . I learned ABA course and wrote an exam. I'm not able to clear the exam. I asked my admin to help me out how to prepare, and they told me to read the terminology properly. Can u help out.
I’m not clear on your question. Are you referring to a practice exam or the actual BACB exam?
Apply the science to yourself
EXACTLY!!! Thanks for watching
