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. A parent observes their teenage son consistently watching Netflix during designated homework time, resulting in incomplete assignments. To address this, the parent decides to temporarily revoke the son’s Netflix account for one month. The parent’s goal is to decrease the likelihood of the son watching Netflix instead of doing homework in the future. Which behavioral principle has the parent attempted to implement, and how does it fit into the broader categories of behavior-change procedures?
Negative punishment is a behaviorchange procedure where a stimulus is removed from the environment immediately following a behavior resulting in a decrease in the future frequency of that behavior In this scenario the parent removes access to the Netflix account a preferred or desirable stimulus as a consequence of the son watching Netflix instead of doing homework The parents intent is to decrease the future occurrence of the undesirable behavior watching Netflix during homework time This fits the definition of negative punishment The text specifically mentions that this is essentially a response cost which is a common type of negative punishment involving the removal of a specific amount of a reinforcer eg points tokens or in this case access to a privilege Positive punishment would involve the addition of an aversive stimulus Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase a desired behavior Extinction involves discontinuing the reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior leading to its gradual decrease in this case a stimulus is actively removed rather than just withholding an ongoing reinforcement
