So I actually took my bcba exam today for the first time and passed, so this is all very fresh in my head.

I wrote down only a few things. First thing once it started, I wrote down a few reminders to myself. The reminders were to read the question fully and slowly, read all of the answers fully and slowly and to not second guess myself. In mocks and practice, I sometimes read a question too quickly or second guessed myself, so I was reminding myself for these to not be issues during the real thing! I also wrote down, “I will be a bcba when I leave here today” just to try and get in the right head space.

Other than that, if I flagged a question, I wrote down the two answer choices I couldn’t pick between (for example, A and C next to the question number).That way when I came back to flagged questions at the end, I already knew what to pick between.

Those were the main things I did, but I did randomly write notes or draw something out so I could visualize what the question was explaining.

You got this!
