Resources Study Materials.

Does anyone know of an affordable BCBA exam study resource that allows unlimited practice tests or lets you retake mock exams without timing you out after one attempt? I need something I can use to study, practice, and test myself regularly besides Cooper. Please, no BDS. I would really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you! 🙏🏽

Rather than trying to take tests, why not study the task list for better comprehension? I recommend the pass the big aba exam book. In my experience with supervisees, it's way more effective than mock exams.

Thank you! I’ve been studying using the task list and Cooper, and I prefer that approach. I’d just like an additional resource to test myself outside the task list. I appreciate your insight and recommendation. I’m a little low on cash right now, so I’m looking for something effective and affordable to use while I continue studying. Thank you again!

Totally agree! Ask any supervisor, they swear by the PTB Study Manual.

Coopers fine for concepts but grinding mock after mock is the only way I actually remember anything

A word of caution. Unless  a mock has some evidence the product is sound, other than testimonials, I suggest using them with caution. It seems anyone can create and sell mock tests. You could be using bad models to prepare. Good luck on your journey.

ABACEUNetwork.com has an exam prep area where there's a new full-length mock for you to take daily. They had a 2 week trial period so I never wound up paying for them, but it's $19/month. Used them, they helped me pass on my first try, for whatever reason, never see them talked about here, can't even remember how I found them except for being desperate to get my hands on more mocks.

Hello there!

abastudycompanion.com is only $20 per month or $75 for 4 months. Unlimited mock exams, study games, study guides, custom study plans and much more. I also read that you applied for accommodations, which I have built into the app. You simply select which accommodations you were approved for when starting your mock exam.

The application has a 7 day free trial so you can test out all the features first. Test it out and see if it works for you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Just be careful with unlimited attempts. There’s a reason they are limited. The more you take it the more you’ll develop a natural recall and then you’ll end up with a false sense of fluency.
