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. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at a local ABA clinic has historically received referrals from a pediatrician for autism diagnoses. When the pediatrician retires, the BCBA begins diagnosing children with autism herself. Considering the BACB’s ethical guidelines and the information provided, has the BCBA acted inappropriately?

Yes, because BCBAs are strictly prohibited from diagnosing autism under any circumstances.

No, as any BCBA is inherently qualified to diagnose autism, especially if they have access to relevant assessment tools.

Yes, because the BCBA would need explicit approval from the BACB to engage in diagnostic practices.

No, provided the BCBA possesses the necessary competence and qualifications, in addition to their BCBA credential, to diagnose autism.

The text warns against making immediate definitive judgments on ethical questions especially those involving scope of practice While a BCBA credential alone does not authorize one to diagnose autism the text points out that an individual holding a BCBA credential might also possess other professional licenses eg pediatrician psychologist neurologist that do confer diagnostic authority Therefore the core ethical consideration is whether the individual BCBA is competent and qualified to diagnose beyond just holding the BCBA certification Option D accurately reflects this nuanced position emphasizing competence and qualifications rather than a blanket prohibition or assumption of inherent ability
