Getting ready for your BCBA exam? You’re in the right place.

I created RBTExamPrep.com to give you the most realistic BCBA mock exam experience possible 185 questions designed to feel just like the real thing.

My goal isn’t just to help you pass, but to help you understand every concept deeply.
Whether you get a question right or wrong, you’ll see detailed feedback explaining why, so you’ll be ready for that type next time. I want you to walk into test day feeling confident, calm, and prepared.

Many students have shared that these questions felt almost identical to the real exam and that’s exactly what I was aiming for. I’d love to hear how you did please share your score in the comments below! It really helps encourage others who are preparing for the exam. 🙂

I built this site to keep high-quality BCBA prep resources free and accessible for everyone, which is why it’s supported by ads. If it helped you, it’d mean a lot if you shared it with your peers.

If you want to keep practicing, check out the BCBA section for more tests and study materials!

#1. When implementing a behavior-change procedure that involves prompting, the primary goal is to effectively transfer stimulus control from the temporary prompt to the desired discriminative stimulus (SD). To ensure this transfer is successful and efficient, which of the following actions should a behavior analyst avoid doing?

Fading the prompt as quickly as possible while ensuring the learner maintains accurate responding.

Ensuring that the learner consistently receives reinforcement for correct responses emitted in the presence of the desired SD without the prompt.

Gradually increasing the saliency or intrusiveness of the prompt after the learner has begun responding independently to the SD.

Varying the types of prompts used across different instructional settings and examples to promote generalization of the skill.

To effectively transfer stimulus control from a prompt to the desired SD the prompt must be faded systematically Fading involves decreasing the intrusiveness or saliency of the prompt over time Therefore gradually increasing the saliency or intrusiveness of the prompt Option C after the learner has already started responding independently to the SD would be counterproductive and should be avoided This action would unnecessarily prolong the learners dependence on the prompt hinder the transfer of control and potentially create prompt dependency The other options describe effective strategies for prompt fading and transfer of stimulus control Option A fading quickly while maintaining accuracy promotes efficiency Option B reinforcing independent responses strengthens the association between the SD and the desired response Option D varying prompts can help prevent prompt dependency and promote generalization by ensuring the learners response is not tied to one specific prompt
