Dear First Time ABA Test Taker

I was once in your shoes. I got an email in October 2014 saying I could officially schedule for my exam (after I turned in all of my paperwork and did my hours) and I was pumped! I immediately scheduled for close to the end of November 2014, I believe it was two days before Thanksgiving of that year.

I remember how I kept writing notecards from a manual, and I believed I could pass on the first try with not a whole lot of studying. Boy was I wrong. I failed, miserably at best. It may have taken two years and five tries, but I achieved that goal – I saw the word “Passed” and now have those four letters after my name.

Chances are you have formed your own study groups with some amazing friends, participated in Zooms, taken some mock exams (Behavior Analyst Supervisor is the best!), and purchased some great products (Rogue ABA rules in this department!). And if you have, you did far more things than I did.

I am not envious of you in the fact that I took this test an endless number of times. However, I wish I had the mindset that you did. I wish I had done even one of these things. And that’s why I’m telling you, first time taker: take this test seriously.

Now go out there, take the exam by the horns, and knock it out of the park. We believe in you!

All My Love,

Michelle
