How long did you really study for the exam?
Hi everyone!
I was recently approved to take my test and trying to decide how far out I should schedule it. People who passed on the first try, how long did you REALLY study for before taking the exam?
I see people saying they are studying for multiple hours a day for months in advance and was wondering if this is normal?
Would love to hear anyone’s tips for test prep!!
Edit: thank you all for the replies!! To add some context, I have been in the field since 2019 and passed my BCaBA first try in 2024. I completed my coursework through ASU and my fieldwork hours earlier this month. With the low pass rate and hearing the BCBA exam is a lot harder, it was making me worried that what I did previously (about a month of studying for a couple hours per day) would not be effective. After reading so many replies of similar timelines I am feeling a lot less worried, so thank you everyone!!
