PTB Crosswalks: How You Can Use the PTB ABA Exam Study Manual for Other ABA Exams

Did you know that PTB has exam prep beyond the BCBA®/BCaBA® exams? Savvy students may already know about the PTB Crosswalk to the 6th Edition, PTB’s free resource for navigating the 6th Ed. changes to the BCBA® and BCaBA® exams.

But wait, there’s more! PTB has two more tools to help students prepare for the IBA® and QBA® exams using the PTB ABA Exam Study Manual. The PTB Crosswalk to the QBA® Exam is a free 18-page PDF that provides a side-by-side comparison of the QBA® Competency Standards with the relevant 6th Edition Test Content Outline Domain items and corresponding sections in the PTB ABA Exam Study Manual.

And, for the International Behavior Analyst certification, the PTB Crosswalk to the IBA® Exam is a free 35-page guide to utilizing the PTB ABA Exam Study Manual as a resource. Like PTB’s other crosswalks, this provides a side-by-side comparison of the IBA® Required Educational Objectives (REOs) with the relevant TCO Domain items and where to find relevant information in the PTB Study Manual.
