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 client typically behaves well during homework sessions. However, when his mother enters the room, he starts talking loudly, stands up from his seat, and occasionally throws his pencil. This sequence of behaviors consistently occurs until his mother acknowledges him in some way. Based on this detailed description, what is the most likely maintaining function of the client’s behavior?

Escape from homework demands

Access to tangible items (e.g., the pencil)

Automatic reinforcement (sensory stimulation)

Attention from his mother

The scenario clearly describes a behavior that occurs specifically when the mother enters and ceases once she provides acknowledgment This contingencybehavior occurring followed by social attention which then increases or maintains the behavioris characteristic of attentionmaintained behavior The clients behavior is explicitly stated to occur until his mom acknowledges him in some way which serves as the reinforcing consequence There is no information suggesting the behavior is to get away from homework escape to gain a specific item tangible or is selfstimulatory automatic reinforcement as it is contingent on the mothers presence and acknowledgement
