Diagnostic
A calibrated baseline test, taken solo, that maps exactly where you stand across behavior-change principles and procedures, professional ethics, and behavior assessment before you study anything.
About the BCBA exam
The BCBA exam is the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's test for graduate-level practitioners seeking Board Certified Behavior Analyst status. It follows the BCBA Test Content Outline (6th ed.), which applies to exams from 2025 and spreads 175 scored questions across nine sections, led by Concepts and Principles and Behavior-Change Procedures (about 14% each) and then Ethical and Professional Issues and Behavior Assessment (about 13% each). You answer 185 questions, including 10 unscored, in four hours. The BACB reports pass/fail only and does not publish its cut score, which is set with the modified Angoff method. Eligibility rules change from 1 January 2027, when only Pathways 1 and 2 remain, but the exam content outline itself is unchanged. Edureify's plan budgets roughly 210–285 hours of study.
The Edureify Readiness System
Edureify runs on one loop: a Diagnostic maps exactly where you stand across behavior-change principles and procedures, professional ethics, and behavior assessment before you study anything, an adaptive Roadmap turns that into a day-by-day plan weighted toward your actual gaps, a self-paced Practice Loop of questions, mock exams, and spaced review builds mastery topic by topic, and an Intervention layer steps in the moment your progress stalls. Every session feeds back into a live Readiness Score that predicts when you'll be exam-ready and names the specific topics still holding you back — not a completion percentage frozen at the end of a course.
Adaptive roadmap
A day-by-day plan built from your diagnostic and rebuilt automatically as you progress — weighted toward your actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Practice loop
Practice questions, mock exams, and spaced-repetition review, self-paced, with mastery tracked across behavior-change principles and procedures, professional ethics, and behavior assessment.
Readiness prediction
A live score with a predicted ready-by date and the specific topics still dragging it down, recalculated after every session.
Certifying a team for BCBA, not just yourself?
Edureify also runs as a team platform for L&D leaders: every team member gets the same self-paced diagnostic-to-readiness loop, and managers get a live dashboard showing each person's Readiness Score, predicted ready-by date, and what's specifically holding them back — plus a portfolio view for reporting on BCBA readiness across the whole team.
How Pass the Big ABA Exam approaches BCBA prep
Pass the Big ABA Exam (PTB) is built around the BACB 6th Edition Test Content Outline. Its Big Exam Prep Workshop ($475) is a live, interactive six-week program with weekly live mock reviews and six mock exams, and PTB also sells a study manual, a peer-reviewed 185-question BIG Mock Exam, nine domain Mini Mocks, and fluency drills in a SAFMEDS style.
PTB's mock score reports highlight strengths and gaps, and the live reviews help you understand them. It doesn't advertise a readiness score, pass prediction or adaptive plan, so how you spend the weeks after the workshop is up to you.
Edureify runs that part continuously: a diagnostic across behavior-change principles and procedures, professional ethics, and behavior assessment, a daily roadmap that reacts to your results, and a Readiness Score with a projected ready-by date.

Questions people ask before choosing
Does Pass the Big ABA Exam predict whether I'll pass the BCBA?
Its mock score reports highlight strengths and gaps, but no readiness score or pass prediction is advertised. Edureify's Readiness Score and ready-by date aim to answer that.
Is PTB aligned to the current BCBA outline?
Yes, PTB's workshop, mock exams and study manual are aligned to the BACB 6th Edition Test Content Outline.
How long do I get access?
PTB's workshop includes up to 14 weeks of online materials, and the BIG Mock Exam allows two attempts over six months. Edureify includes one year.
Edureify vs Pass the Big ABA Exam: which is right for you?
PTB is a strong fit if you want a live cohort, instructors who review mock exams with you each week, and drills to build fluency on BCBA terminology.
Edureify is a strong fit if you'd rather study on your own schedule with a plan that adapts to your results and a forecast of when you'll be ready.
Workshops give you a strong six weeks; think about what will guide your study in the weeks before and after.
