So I've been chasing this certification for almost a year now and honestly I was ready to give up after my second fail. Both times I scored in the low 60s when you need a 70 to pass. The frustrating part is I work in behavioral analysis — you'd think I'd have an edge, but the exam covers so much ground that real-world experience only gets you so far.
What finally clicked for me was being really systematic about it. I spent three weeks doing nothing but BAT practice test questions every morning before work, like 30-40 questions minimum. I also found a study guide that actually broke down the measurement and ethics sections, which is where I kept bleeding points. Those two domains alone are worth a huge chunk of the score.
Anyone else find that the practice exams were way harder than the real thing, or is that just me? I'm also curious what exam tips people used for the verbal behavior section specifically — that one still trips me up.
