BCBA®/BCaBA® Exam Prep
A PIONEER IN INTERACTIVE TEST PREP. TRUSTED BY STUDENTS, AGENCIES AND UNIVERSITIES, SINCE 2012.
Your course really helped me throughout the test. The way you broke down and explained concepts, quite literally “aba for dummies” and it freaking helped! Your voice would play through my mind as I’d be reminded of the acronyms and other useful exam tips.

A WORD FROM PTB ALUMNI
So surreal to finally be emailing you to share that I passed the exam on my first attempt!!! I’M A BCBA!!!! I highly attribute my success to this course. You gave me the confidence to go into the exam and gave me the tools I needed, from teaching me how to start with fluency all the way to application (and simply how to breathe when dissecting those questions). That was SO hard, but I never ever would have been able to do it without you. So thank you thank you thank you!!!
Just wanted to reach out and say that I passed the big exam on the first try and to thank you all for creating such an amazing program. This program is absolutely why I passed on the first try! Thank you for all that you do!
The Pass the Big ABA Exam Manual is one of the most simplified and aesthetically pleasing versions of the Cooper book you could possibly find. I owe a lot of my passing towards the PTB ABA team for not only their manual, but their quick customer service as well. Not only do they reply in a timely manner to any questions you may have, but are also willing to have a conversation about it and makes the studying process so much simpler!
BCBA®
I’m very grateful for the study materials that you made available and which helped me in my success. I would also like to add that the [PTB Big Exam Prep] workshop and the [PTB Big] mock exam was very helpful as well as the vocabulary and the AKA list. Thanks again.
BCBA®
I am happy to be able to write this email and let you all know that I passed my exam on my first try earlier today! Thanks to PTB, I had the study skills to not only pass the test but to feel confident walking into the testing center this morning. I’ve already highly recommended PTB to several other students and will continue to spread the word! Thank you again for all the support! I truly could not have done it without everyone at PTB!!
BCBA®
I want to say thank you to PTB for all the amazing resources that were provided during my course. When I started my fieldwork, the first book I bought was the PTB book which helped me throughout my fieldwork experience. When it was time to study for the BIG Exam, I knew I had to take this course. Everything from the lectures, the classes and the resources really helped me and my study habits. I contribute my success to PTB! Now I get to say that I’M A BCBA!!
BCBA®
I just wanted to take the time to thank you so much for extending your gratitude and gifting me your pass the big ABA manual. You are an angel. I truly believe it is what I was missing link with my studying. I read that book every single day, and I referenced it when answering difficult questions about concepts, the visuals, a.k.a.’s, and examples really helped. I finally passed the big exam and got those 4 letters!
I just completed your 6 week course and happy to share that I passed the BCBA exam on my first try! I wanted to thank you for your course and live classes which really prepared me very well. Thank you.
BCBA®
I took the spring prep workshop and took my exam about two weeks ago. I did pass my exam and wanted to thank you so much for helping me discriminate concepts and answering my questions throughout the class!
I passed the big exam! As a second time test taker I was not sure where to go or even how to study. I decided to give PTB ABA a chance. I want to thank the co-founder Dana for having a lecture series were you can ask questions, get feedback on many topics and for teaching new techniques for learning the material. The courses and mocks are what helped me pass the test.
BCBA®
I passed my exam!!! And I want to thank Dana Meller for all the help answering questions and providing extra feedback on certain topics I couldn’t understand. I am an auditory learner and the lectures where truly great; I had them on repeat over and over. This [PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop] course was really what got me to the next level to pass the exam. Passed on my second try.
BCBA®
My favorite study program I used for the BCBA exam was Pass the Big ABA Exam. I used their [PTB ABA] study manual. I loved it because it is workbook format and there’s quizzes throughout. My BCBA supervisor used this study tool as well. Highly recommend.
BCBA®
The PTB [ABA Study] manual made a huge difference with helping me to really retain and fully understand the information pertaining to the 5th edition task list. I highly recommend. The PTB team was also there to answer any questions I had and in a timely manner.
I want to thank the PTB team for helping me on this long and hard journey. Special thanks to Dana Meller for teaching ABA concepts and principles in an entertaining and understandable way. Today was the third time that I took the Big test and I finally passed it. My first language is Spanish, which imposed me a double challenge. If you study hard and are accompanied by capable professionals who help you, you can pass.
I just completed the [PTB Big Exam Prep] workshop class on Sunday night, as well as completed the [PTB Big] Mock exam and review. I’m excited to say, that I passed my exam this afternoon. After failing on my first try, I was defeated and nervous to continue trying. After several hours of looking for a BCBA workshop, I found pass the big exam. The course helped me freshen up much of the information, but [what] really helped me was all the test tips.
(…) thank you for helping me pass the exam today! I took full advantage of the [PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop] course- watched/listened to those videos several times, took notes, made concepts more salient, took those mini exams– did better second time around, researched topics on my incorrect responses, asked questions and learned from peers in lectures and study halls, studied 15+ hours each week- mastered those fluency drills, and I even watched 1/2 hour of Bravo’s RHONJ yesterday to feel smarter. So THANK YOU for assembling this course and sharing it.
I have been studying for my BCBA exam for about a year and a half, and on my 4th attempt, I finally passed! I was SO close to passing each time, with my scores being within 7-3 points short. I knew I needed to dig deeper into the material and give it all I had for my next attempt. I bought the [PTB ABA] study manual from Pass the Big ABA Exam and took all the quizzes in the manual for each section of the task list. Between that and watching study videos from Pass the Big ABA Exam, I felt that I knew the material inside and out.
BCBA®
As a multiple time test taker, my last round was my final. Having been in the field for 10+ years, I knew I had the content. This [PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop] class was my missing piece to my studies. This class gave me excellent test taking strategies and truly helped me get to where I needed to be!
BCBA®
PTB is absolutely what I needed to review and fill in the gaps of missed info during the time between grad school and my exam. Additionally, the [PTB Big Exam Prep] workshop was engaging and easy to follow with plenty of resources! The entire workshop made it easier to fully understand the concept, as opposed to just memorizing the material. I found it very beneficial to find out what kind of test taker I am in order to avoid silly mistakes on the exam.
BCBA®
I just passed my exam today and I wanted to say thank you for all that you taught me! The [PTB Big Exam Prep] workshop I took with you really prepped me well for the exam and I was excited to pass on my first try thanks to such am amazing prep workshop!
BCBA®
