You guys have any advice on how to study for this basic exam for july 2014. Such as doing anesthesia Qbanks?. I am studying baby Miller. Any advice would be appreciated.

You are in the unfortunate guinea pig class--nobody is going to be able to say for sure what a good source is because it has never been taken before.

The content outline is here so it seems like baby miller should be an adequate cover for it.

anybody know if the upcoming ABA Basic exam in July will simply yield a PASS/FAIL result or if the score is a percentile similar to the ITE?

From what I've heard, it's Pass/Fail

My plan is to study for it just like the ITE. From the content outline it seems like it's just a less encompassing version of the ITE.

Not trying to belittle the exam, as I am sure it won't simply be a walk in the park. But if the implications of a fail potentially means repeating 6months/1year of training and/or being kicked out of your program...can it be really that hard to pass? I cant imagine they would fail more than (at most) bottom 10-15%. I could be wrong.
