How are my responses evaluated?

Each scenario includes a detailed rubric with specific criteria. You can compare your response to a model answer and see which elements you included or missed. Premium users can receive AI-powered feedback on their responses.

What skill level are these scenarios designed for?

Scenarios span from foundational (RBT-level implementation skills) to advanced (BCBA-level design and supervision). Each scenario indicates its target certification level and cognitive complexity.

Can I save my responses for later review?

Yes, registered users can save their responses to review progress over time. You can also compare multiple attempts to see how your skills develop.
