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. Lisa, having just turned 16, learns how to pump gas at the gas station near her home with her dad’s instruction. The following week, she drives to a friend’s house and successfully pumps gas at a different gas station down the street. Her dad did not teach her how to pump gas at this new location. This scenario, where Lisa performs the same skill (pumping gas) across multiple, distinct gas stations (different stimuli), is an example of which behavioral phenomenon?

Response Generalization

Stimulus Generalization

Overgeneralization

Shaping

This scenario demonstrates stimulus generalization Stimulus generalization occurs when a single response pumping gas is evoked by or occurs across multiple similar stimuli different gas stations Lisa learned the skill in one specific context the gas station near her home and was able to apply that same skill successfully in a different but functionally similar context the gas station down the street Response generalization in contrast involves a single stimulus evoking multiple different but functionally related responses Overgeneralization occurs when a behavior generalizes to an excessive degree or to inappropriate situations Shaping involves differentially reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior which is not what is happening here Lisa already knows the complete skill of pumping gas and the behavior is now occurring under varied stimulus conditions
