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.

#1. The coaching staff of a collegiate football team implements a system where players earn helmet stickers for exceptional performance during games or for achieving high academic marks. However, if a player is late to practice, fails to complete assigned tasks, or violates team rules, they lose previously earned helmet stickers. This system aims to decrease undesirable behaviors. What behavior-change procedure is primarily being utilized when players lose earned helmet stickers?

Negative Reinforcement

Positive Punishment

Response Cost

Antecedent Intervention

Response cost is a form of negative punishment where a specific amount of a reinforcer in this case earned helmet stickers is removed following an undesirable behavior with the goal of decreasing the future probability of that behavior The key elements are the removal negative of a stimulus stickers that was previously earned or possessed contingent on behavior leading to a decrease in that behavior Its not negative reinforcement because the removal of stickers is not contingent on a behavior that leads to an increase in a desired behavior by escaping an aversive stimulus Its not positive punishment because nothing is being added to decrease behavior rather something is being removed Its not an antecedent intervention because the removal of stickers is a consequence that occurs after the undesirable behavior not an event that occurs before to prevent it
