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
One and Done! I have to say that your [PTB] Big [Exam Prep] Workshop and 6th edition [ABA Exam Study] Manual were the key elements to my success! I felt overwhelmed with how to study and where to start, and when I asked around to other BCBAs they all directed me to PTB! I jumped in and did all the recommended study habits, test strategies, self management tools, videos, study halls, SAFMEDS, practice exams, and went to every class! The weekly classes helped me organize and keep focused as well as having the manual helped with the weekly videos (Dana is hilarious)! The concepts were broken down and lots of examples were given to help me remember and understand them. Thank you Dana and all of you at PTB for helping me pass the Big exam!
I passed the Big ABA Exam on my first attempt and I am confident that it was due to the comprehensive preparation provided by Pass the Big ABA Exam. Their study materials and practice questions thoroughly covered all the topics, allowing me to feel fully prepared for the exam. Good luck to those sitting soon! You got this!! 🎉

I have really been looking forward to sending this email over the past year!! I am 45 years old and finally have made it to my goal after going back to school at 40. I purchased the PTB bible [ABA Exam Study Manual] and it explained things so much more clearly than the Cooper bible (no offense to Cooper and co.)! I also took your [PTB Big Exam Prep] Workshop series… It was an amazing experience! It really helped me make better connections to soooo many concepts that once seemed like islands in the stream and there I was just floating on by! And now, after a year of hard-lifing, I finally passed the exam on December 27th!!!! It’s never too late!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I can’t thank Pass the Big ABA Exam enough for helping me achieve my goal of becoming a BCBA! Their study tools were incredibly organized and user-friendly, breaking down tough concepts into manageable pieces. I lived and breathed the [PTB ABA Exam] Study Manual! I felt confident and prepared every step of the way. Dana is incredibly encouraging and focuses on making sure you truly understand the material, not just memorizing it. Passing on my first try wouldn’t have been possible without her!

I took your study course [PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop] over the summer and I just wanted to say thank you! I passed on my first try at the beginning of September. A huge part of my study process was through Pass the Big ABA and using the [PTB ABA Exam Study] Manual. Thank you for all your help and all the hard work you guys put into making this study opportunity possible.

I began studying for the BCBA exam in January with the help of PTB. I purchased the [PTB ABA Exam Study] Manual and enrolled in a 6-week course. Dana was the instructor and I am grateful to her and her team for teaching me the skills and content needed to pass the exam. I passed the exam on my first try in June. Good luck to all studying for this exam. You can do it!

Today… I PASSED!!!!
While I have used many study methods, and have had the Pass the Big [ABA Exam Study Manual] booklet the whole time- I believe it was my time over that last 6 weeks attending two live Mini [Big] workshops, and then going through your book while watching you in the [PTB] Streaming Lecture Series that helped me finally apply my knowledge correctly!!
The videos were amazing, and I will tell anyone and everyone who wants to know what worked for me… those were it. You are hilarious, and I love the way you teach! I only wish I’d done it sooner.
Thank you Dana!!

I wanted to thank all the PTB team for all your help. Special thanks to Dana, I received the scholarship for the [PTB Big Exam Prep] Workshop and this helped me tremendously to study and be able to pass on my third time today. All the materials you have– the mocks, workshop helped me to learn the concepts. I appreciate you all so much. Thank you so much.

I beat the odds with PTB! PTB’s Big Exam Prep Workshop is the ultimate review of what you need to know (and more!) to pass the Big Exam. Dana’s workshop is engaging, comprehensive, and interactive. The use of acronyms and visuals helped to make challenging concepts easier to understand and more salient when I needed to recall them. Beyond reviewing the task list, the workshop is jam packed with test taking tips that altered the way I approached each question. I cannot recommend this enough for students preparing for the Big Exam!
Charlotte, NC
I want to thank you so much for your BCBA exam prep course. I took my BCBA exam today for the first time… and PASSED! Your course was my dominant method of study and was an excellent, clear, thorough course, breaking down all the material and test questions. The course really prepared me well.

Dana is amazing!! She does a great job at balancing students to push themselves within the literature and answering clarifying answers. I did not want some[one] who would tell me all of the answers, instead Dana taught me how to get to the answer. Her guidance helped me pass on my first try! During the study phase, I found myself confused with all of the choices for study resources. I would see people on Facebook pages for BCBA study materials naming no less than 10 resources they used to study. I mainly used the PTB [ABA Exam Study] Manual and mocks and I was able to do it! One and done! Thanks Dana 💕
Denver, CO
I just wanted to send along my deepest appreciation and thanks to everyone at Pass The Big ABA Exam. I recently completed the 6-week study workshop with Dana and passed the test the first time taking it last week. The [PTB Big Exam Prep] Workshop along with all of the study materials helped break down difficult concepts and Dana was a huge support in our weekly meetings. I will recommend this workshop to anyone who is getting ready to take boards.
