The best BCBA study materials and mock exams for the 6th edition Test Content Outline

Behavior Development Solutions' CBA Learning Module Series TCO6 is built around the BACB's 6th edition Test Content Outline. The vendor page lists over 4,000 learning-module questions across 210 module sets, nine domain tests, and one mock exam. The methodology is precision-teaching based: each module has an acquisition phase and a timed fluency phase, with corrective feedback, hints, and textbook references. A free demo is available at fluency.bds.com.

The main caveat is cost and guarantee conditions. Standard pricing runs $399 for 3 months up to $499 for 12 months; longer subscriptions and course-requirement pricing exist. The advertised 98.5% pass rate is from a BDS-conducted 2019 survey of first-time test takers who completed all modules to 100% correct within six months of the exam, verified against the BACB certificant registry where possible. That is a self-reported vendor metric, not BACB annual data, and the money-back guarantee requires the same 100% correct completion. We did not test the platform hands-on.

ABA Wizard's Total Learning System costs $295 one-time for 12 months of access and includes all three 6th edition mock exams (A, B, and C), video lectures, a task-by-task breakdown of each Test Content Outline item, bonus quizzes, and digital SAFMEDS flashcards. Individual mock exams are also sold separately at $29 each. The vendor page states the course is based on the 6th edition Test Content Outline for candidates testing on or after January 1, 2025.

The platform reports a percentage score after each mock rather than a pass/fail result. That percentage is useful for tracking improvement, but it should not be treated as a prediction of passing the real exam — the BACB does not publish a percentage cut score, and equating means different exam forms can have different raw passing standards. No score guarantee was found on the vendor page. We did not test the platform hands-on.

ABA Technologies' BOOST Bundle 3 includes the Pro Builder package, Mock Exam A, and Mock Exam B for $299 with 240 days of access. The Pro Builder contains 10 petite mock exams totaling 1,040 questions; the two full-length mocks each contain 175 scored-style questions aligned to the 6th edition Test Content Outline. Separate pricing is available: Pro Builder at $225, Mock Exam A or B at $75 each, and a 449-card digital SAFMEDS deck at $89.

The bundle is mock-heavy rather than a full video course, so candidates who need concept instruction may still want to pair it with a textbook or course. No score guarantee was visible on the vendor page as of October 1, 2026. We did not test the platform hands-on.

Study Notes ABA's Live Collective Standard Package costs $549 and includes 24 live two-hour classes over 12 weeks, class recordings, ethics recordings, a homework packet, the Ultimate Notebook and Pairing Pack, and two mock exams. The Premium Package at $699 adds two additional mock exams. The vendor page advertises a free-retake guarantee for students who do not pass.

The Standard Package includes only two mock exams, and the class schedule is semester-based, so candidates must align their study timeline with the next available cohort. The tone is informal, but the content is BCBA-exam focused. We did not test the course hands-on.

Pass the Big ABA Exam's Big Mock Exam costs $129 and includes one 185-question exam — 175 scored plus 10 unscored pilot items, matching the real BCBA structure — with two attempts over six months. The vendor page says the exam is peer-reviewed by veteran BCBAs, proportionally distributed across the Test Content Outline domains, and includes Pearson VUE-style annotation tools, a digital whiteboard, and a detailed score report with explanations and rationales.

The Big Exam Prep Workshop ($475) adds six weeks of live instruction and six weekly mock exams. The deliberate two-attempt limit is framed as a feature to prevent memorization, but it also means you cannot retake the mock repeatedly for fluency. We did not test the exam hands-on.

The Behavior Analyst Certification Board publishes the BCBA Test Content Outline (6th ed.) PDF, the BCBA Handbook, the examination-information page, and sample score reports at no cost. These documents define the exact 104 tasks, nine domains, and scoring policies that every vendor claims to follow. They are the only source that is guaranteed to match the current exam.

The limitation is practical: the BACB does not provide practice questions, mock exams, or study lessons. Candidates who use only the free resources will need to create their own study plan and find their own practice items. We did not test anything hands-on; this entry reflects the authority of the source documents.

Behavior Analyst Supervisor sells four 6th edition BCBA mock exams individually at $99 each or as a four-mock bundle for $300. The vendor also offers live workshops and mini-mock products, but this entry focuses on the Just Mock Exams bundle. Each exam is labeled as 6th edition aligned.

Because this is a mock-only product, it works best as a supplement to a course or textbook rather than a primary learning resource. The vendor page did not state access duration or a guarantee as of October 1, 2026. We did not test the exams hands-on.
