Exam Study Materials

The BCBA® Exam is the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® certification examination administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®). It assesses a candidate’s knowledge of behavior analysis principles and ethical practices as outlined in the BACB’s Task List.

To be eligible for the exam, candidates must meet specific educational and supervised experience requirements. The exam itself consists of multiple-choice questions and is designed to evaluate the ability to apply behavior-analytic concepts in real-world scenarios.

Successfully passing the BCBA exam qualifies individuals to practice as independent behavior analysts, often working in fields like autism intervention, education, mental health, and organizational behavior management.

While the pass rate varies by year, first-time test takers typically achieve a success rate between 60% and 65%. However, our users regularly achieve over 90% on exams.
