About this ebook
You have a BCBA date. Hold it. Between now and then: 523 questions with every option explained, two timed 185-item practice exams, a 9-day plan with a domain a day. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a fieldwork supervisor runs a study group, not the way a shelf gets filled. It works from the BACB's 6th Edition Test Content Outline, live since January 2025. The appointment is four hours and 185 items: 175 scored, 10 unscored pilot items you cannot tell apart. Nine integrated domains replaced the old Foundations and Applications split. Concepts and Principles and Behavior-Change Procedures carry 14 percent each, Ethical and Professional Issues and Behavior Assessment 13 each, Behaviorism 5. Every teaching day maps to one domain. Check us against the BACB's published Test Content Outline. We would rather you did.
What's inside
523 original questions, every option explained. The BACB publishes no practice bank of its own, so each item here comes from scratch, built to the outline.
Two full-length practice exams at 185 items. Both are built to the live domain shares, and four hours is a stamina problem you want to meet first on paper.
Graphs you read rather than admire. You'll see reversal and multiple-baseline displays, cumulative records and trend lines as figures to interpret.
A 28-item diagnostic near the end, sliced across all nine domains at their real share, for a final calibration before test day.
Ten high-yield cards. The four-term contingency, reinforcement against punishment, the differential-reinforcement family, the functional-analysis conditions.
Original ABA vignettes throughout. Ethics scenarios are written fresh; the BACB Ethics Code itself never appears word for word. Perhaps you already own a deck of ABA flashcards and a term list. Give it three evenings. If Day 3 on measurement and data display leaves your graph reading where it started, close the book. One evening, that is the whole risk.
Three kinds of reader use this. An RBT or graduate student sitting a first attempt. A BCaBA moving up to the BCBA credential. Someone returning to the exam whose notes still say Foundations and Applications. If supervision is already your day job, start at Day 1 anyway and go quickly.
Day 4 is experimental design, and almost nobody enjoys it. The exam scores it at 7 percent, which is more than the evening costs. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author
Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
