BCBA® Exam Prep: 5 Things You Need for a Successful Plan of Action

Does your study plan have what it takes to help you Beat the Odds? The path to certification requires careful planning, but luckily, PTB knows a thing or two about what makes exam prep effective. PTB has rounded up five qualities for effective plan of action, as found in the PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop.

#1: Comprehensive
As PTB founder Dana Meller advises, it’s important to study everything. Not only for your role as a behavior analyst, but also because you never know what you will be tested on come exam day. With so much information to cover, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and worry that you’ve got a blind spot or two. The PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop has been designed to review everything, from the entire Test Content Outline to the Ethics Code, while helping you gain a deeper understanding.

#2: Structured
Exam prep can get chaotic, especially if you’re trying to schedule study sessions in between work, school, and life. Having a structured prep plan in place is helpful, but sticking to it is where many students slip up. The PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop offers built-in structure and external accountability, with scheduled weekly sessions covering specific Domains, assigned homework, weekly mock exams, and study halls.

#3: Data-Driven
As a behavior analyst, data should always be top of mind. It’s important to self-monitor, track your progress, and assess your fluency. The PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop can help you collect and evaluate your own performance data, with a pre- and post-workshop mock exam. Based on PTB’s data, students who complete the PTB Big Exam prep Workshop see an average 25% point increase from pretest to post-test.

#4: Supportive
If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Like any long journey, the path to the Big exam is better with company. The PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop provides built-in support, where you can study in real time with your fellow students, ask questions, and get support from peers and the PTB team. Plus, you get access to PTB’s private, students-only Facebook group, for even more ways to connect and find community.

#5: Fun
While studying may never be considered “fun” in the traditional sense, that doesn’t mean it needs to be a complete bore. PTB founder Dana Meller knows that when you can make the content more engaging, the information is that much more salient. The PTB Big Exam Prep Workshop was designed with this principle in mind– and it’s why Dana’s lectures include humor, some singing, relatable examples, and a whole host of clever ways to make the material more memorable.
