You Know ABA. Now Learn HOW to Take the BCBA Exam.
You can know the definitions. You can understand the concepts. You can spend HOURS studying, taking mock exams, watching videos, and reviewing Cooper...and still sit there staring at two answer choices thinking, “I literally have no idea which one they want.”
A huge part of preparing for the BCBA/BCaBA Exam, in addition to knowing the content, is learning how to approach the exam strategically.
You have to know what information in the question matters, what doesn't, what certain words are signaling, how to stop adding information that isn't there, and how to determine what the question is ACTUALLY asking you to do.
That's what we're working on in this live workshop. I'm going to teach you how to use behavior analysis to prepare for a behavior analysis exam.
✔️ How to use highlighting to create your own stimulus prompts during the exam
✔️ How stimulus discrimination applies to test-taking and how to identify which details should actually control your answer
✔️ How to interpret words like FIRST, BEST, INITIAL, MOST APPROPRIATE, PRIOR TO, BASED ON THE DATA, and more
✔️ How to stop adding information to the question that isn't actually there
✔️ How to use my SDPEA Method to systematically break down difficult BCBA exam questions
✔️ What to do when you're stuck between two answers that both sound right
✔️ How to use programming common stimuli to prepare for actual testing conditions
✔️ Why you should train loosely instead of only practicing one person's question style
✔️ How to determine whether you missed a question because you didn't know the content or because you attended to the wrong information
✔️ How to actually learn from missed mock exam questions instead of checking the answer and moving on
✔️ How to identify patterns in your performance and build a data-based study plan
✔️ How to use the MANY free BCBA exam resources already available instead of feeling like you have to spend hundreds of dollars on study materials
