Open toolCommon questions
- Is this the official BACB competency assessment?
- No. These are preparation and planning aids written by Operation Optimize. The official assessment is conducted by a qualified assessor and nothing here replaces or simulates it.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Every tool works anonymously in your browser. An account is only needed if you want to keep your results.
- What happens if I save my results?
- They are stored in your Professional Passport as self-recorded entries. They never become supervisor-verified or organization-verified from these free tools.
- Can my supervisor see my results?
- Only if you choose to share them from your passport. Nothing is shared automatically.
A preparation and planning aid. It is not the official BACB competency assessment, not proof of certification eligibility, and not a substitute for a qualified assessor. Official RBT requirements
