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 driver is speeding down the highway when they suddenly see a police car in their rearview mirror. Immediately, the driver slows down. In this scenario, how does the police car function in relation to the driver’s behavior of slowing down?
In Applied Behavior Analysis a discriminative stimulus for punishment SDp is an antecedent stimulus that signals the availability of punishment for a specific behavior In this case the police car SDp signals that if the driver continues speeding punishment eg a ticket is likely This signal causes the drivers behavior of speeding to decrease and consequently the behavior of slowing down increases It is not a prompt as a prompt is an auxiliary antecedent used to occasion a specific behavior not merely to signal the availability of a consequence for an existing behavior It is also not a consequence as consequences occur after the behavior Lastly it is not an establishing operation which alters the value of a reinforcer or punisher and the likelihood of behaviors that have been reinforced or punished by that stimulus while the police car might momentarily increase the aversiveness of potential punishment its primary function here is as a signal that punishment is available for the current behavior
