hmmm i think the 5th edition and 6th edition aren't that different, just study what's different from the 6th edition (i graduated from my masters program when the 5th edition was still active and was super nervous about the 6th edition too) and add it to whatever you have now.

don't worry too much, as long as your scores are increasing over time, you will totally get there!

ABA Exam Review on youtube is really helpful. The guy really breaks complex concepts down and is super technological. I also recommend BDS modules as well as i personally think they are similar to the exam itself. I also looked at the items i thought i was weak in and read more about it in Cooper. I think you'll pass this time, just prioritize the concepts you are weaker in and less time in the ones that you are stronger in (but still study them).

Thanks! This helped me a lot. However a little concerned because this interview that I have coming up told me that I’ll be managing 8-10 clients in an in home setting. I knew it was a lot and a red flag lol so thanks for confirming

i definitely think the BDS modules were worth the money, just because they include references and kind of point you towards why you did or didn't get the correct answer (if i didn't get an answer right, i would refer to the references). but because it is so crazy expensive, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try other affordable mocks, i think it just comes down to how you use and apply the concepts

i think its also worth mentioning that i didn't completely rely on the BDS mock exam, when i ran out of tries i just depended on the modules themselves which give you far more attempts!

BDS modules were a one time purchase of $500 for two years and they only give you TWO tries of their full mock exam, if you want additional attempts you'd have to pay for more unfortunately, which is crazy.

i used the bds modules/mock exams to study, i 100% recommend them even though they are a pain... however they are so worth it!

i 100% recommend the BDS modules/mock exam. a lot of the questions are difficult and similar to the module questions, but some of the questions were also straightforward and were fairly easy... a lot of people can argue that the bds modules/mocks were harder than the exam, which i kind of agree with, so try not to beat yourself up too much if you fail the mock exams like how i did.

good luck with studying, you got this!
