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!

 

Results

#1. A professional typically takes the interstate to work in the morning. One day, they decide to take an alternate route to grab coffee. However, the alternate route has heavy traffic, causing them to be 20 minutes late for work. As a result of this experience, they decide never to take that alternate route to work again. Which behavioral principle best describes what occurred in this scenario?

Positive reinforcement

Negative reinforcement

Positive punishment

Negative punishment

To analyze this scenario we first look at the effect on future behavior the professional never took that alternate route to work again indicating a decrease in the future probability of that behavior This tells us we are dealing with a form of punishment Next we consider what happened as a consequence the heavy traffic and being 20 minutes late were added to the situation a stimulus was presented Because an aversive stimulus being late heavy traffic was added and it resulted in a decrease in the future likelihood of the behavior this is an example of positive punishment Positive refers to the addition of a stimulus and punishment refers to the decrease in behavior
