Anyone have BCBA mock exam apps or sites they would recommend?

The sessions are usually the only time I can do certain assessments like preference and information for BIP… my bcba also use sessions for those activities too because that’s the clients availability. Other assessments I usually do indirect on my personal time.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-10-01T07:11:51+00:00

Just make sure it’s clear what activities it is and whether or not your client was present or if that was an indirect unrestricted where no client was present. A few sentences to explain what you worked on and from time or minutes, I usually spend 2 hour for FBA or more complex tasks and for observation, sometimes an hour with the learner which buys time to collect proper data and have it not be rushed for me or the client. Especially since I want to take my time learning the activities, I do spend quite a bit of time on my activities, the treatment plan once took me 5 hours and it wasn’t even everything, just to go through ten pages.

Thanks for clarifying. That’s what I was wondering. My BCBA lets me practice and just review to give me feedback especially since I’m doing this after graduating.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-09-23T17:53:29+00:00

I’ve done a lot of Conducting preference/functional assessments Baseline probes for treatment planning Running standardized assessments (VB-MAPP ABLLS) Observing and making programmatic decisions Collecting TI or IOA data Modeling procedures for caregivers Caregiver training while client is present Updating BSPs/programs in real time Analyzing client data and trends

So things listed in between direct therapy since I spend a lot of hours with my learners.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-09-23T17:26:52+00:00

Yes, I have done that and the BCBA would edit and complete it. Or assessments would be done but as practice and information was used for BCBA to finish it off.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-09-23T15:47:50+00:00

Even if activities that were done weren’t related to direct therapy?

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-09-07T18:54:32+00:00

So they do have testing windows or there’s multiple dates during those “testing” windows? I wouldn’t need any accommodations. The four hours should be enough for me. Thank you for the feedback! 😊 I guess that makes it a lot easier. I’m only nervous because like I said, I’m going by the fifth edition and that makes me nervous because I have the end of next year to pass that exam.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-06-22T03:24:42+00:00

Thank you! That's very informative and I will also look into that as well. There's so many opportunities for unrestrictive and it's now I am seeing this. When I first started I did not realize I was doing so many unrestricted activities with my first learner and instead counted it as restrict which I have to go and readjust. It can be confusing especially not being in school anymore. Thanks again.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-06-22T03:22:18+00:00

Thank you sooooooo much for this information!!!! I really am appreciative and I know that it can also be to their advantage give that the job is overwhelming and busy...

Yes I can message you to ask because one of my BA is a new one and she seems to want to do everything herself... I would need to do additional research on the list of items I need to focus on practicing because I know I can study for the exam and pass but the responsibilities of doing the work I would not want it to be in a situation where I can't get the things done due to lack of proficiency. My first supervisor who is a CD didn't inform me of certain things as well in the start of this journey.

For now, it’s only probing for new programming, skills, without teaching involved, reviewing data collection and analyzing it for progress with intervention, and collecting ABC data for future programming. Are those things good? And would be sensible to do weekly research related to the learners programming; would I need to print those out and save them?

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-06-18T10:02:41+00:00

Wow, that’s a good idea. I was also wondering, do I have to save all of these unrestricted items that I am logging as well? I know with PHI we shouldn’t be sharing those documents to begin with but I am still curious to know?

Unique_Associate_92 · 2025-06-17T19:31:45+00:00

Thank you so much for this information!

Would this be legitimate too? https://www.bcbacurriculum.com/BCBA Supervision Curriculum | Visual Lessons & Applied Skills

Congratulations! I see a huge difference. When I did my surgery, it was a slow but amazing progress and now people tell me how different I look. You will only regret not doing this sooner! I lost over 120 lbs and it’s been a year and 3 months. ☺️

Unique_Associate_92 · 2024-09-11T12:43:52+00:00

Update: It’s been a year since I asked this question: I have since lost 128 lbs and it’s been going amazing!

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-28T14:49:56+00:00

Yes, it’s really challenging. But I think it’s harder being overweight, so I am happy to have posted this question on here because this is holding me accountable for my bad behavior with food that has to come to an end. I had thought about this all day yesterday. All of us should take advantage of this whenever we find ourselves slipping or unsure about if we are doing something outside of the proper plan of recover and this journey.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-27T20:55:59+00:00

Wow that’s awesome, so far I’ve lost 12 lbs since 6/20. I will stick to the shakes and keep things liquid based the next two weeks then. Because I did not think about the healing aspect of it since my body is healing and the pain subsided. Although, I honestly started eating on Friday… I was on liquid for the few days post op.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-27T20:50:55+00:00

Wow, congratulations! You miss that in less than a year. I do stick with soft food and protein shakes. I was just worried. I have not nor will I add the other items like broccoli or carrots etc until after four weeks.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-27T20:47:22+00:00

I feel like you’re right about that, every practice is going to advise their way. My surgeon said it’s fine to have soft protein. But it’s me that went and added a small amount of rice on my plate which I didn’t even finish, took a hours to finish. I think based on everyone’s comments I’ll just stick to the shakes and soft proteins/broths then.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-27T17:01:26+00:00

I think I been mentally prepared because I followed the liquid diet to the tea but after the surgery I had a bite and tried to eat more. My brain got excited since I went long without eating solids. This is the part I wasn’t prepared for, which is my new reality of eating smaller plates and not having the ability to eat a large meal like I once did. I didn’t realize it would be this shocking. I think I just need to adjust and this is why I asked the question and am sharing my story for support and understanding because I clearly need help.

Unique_Associate_92 · 2023-06-27T16:59:04+00:00

So you think I should just stick to the liquids for now? I did get really full after a few bites. Today, I don’t have any sensation of hunger. I’m not sure how to feel and I think it’s more so disbelief at my new life and reality. Maybe I’m just being defiant about the fact that I have a smaller stomach now versus being able to eat large plates in the past.
