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 behavior analyst is reviewing data from a functional analysis of a client’s self-injurious behavior (SIB). The data indicates that SIB occurred at significant rates during the ‘contingent attention’ condition, while it rarely occurred in the ‘control (free play)’ condition or the ‘contingent escape’ condition. Based solely on this information, what is the most likely function of the client’s self-injurious behavior?

Escape

Attention

Automatic

Cannot determine

The provided text indicates that selfinjurious behavior SIB barely happened in the control condition free play and almost never in contingent escape However in the contingent attention condition there were significant data points This pattern directly suggests that the behavior is maintained by social positive reinforcement in the form of attention as its occurrence is reliably correlated with the delivery of attention Therefore Attention is the only logical answer Escape is incorrect because SIB did not occur significantly in the escape condition Automatic is incorrect because automatic reinforcement typically presents in the control condition or across conditions without social mediation and the text explicitly states that this didnt happen Cannot determine is incorrect because the data provided offers clear evidence for the function
