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 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is conducting a behavior assessment and developing a treatment plan for a client. When selecting target behaviors for intervention, the BCBA must ensure they are observable and measurable, adhering to the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. Which of the following would NOT be an appropriate target behavior to include in a treatment plan?

The client frequently hits their head with an open hand when requests are denied.

The client verbally states, ‘I feel sad and hopeless’ at least five times per day.

The client appears frustrated when unable to complete a puzzle.

The client bites their fingernails until the skin breaks when presented with academic tasks.

Applied Behavior Analysis focuses on observable and measurable behaviors public events for intervention Private events such as thoughts and feelings cannot be reliably observed or measured by an external observer and therefore are not directly targeted for change in a treatment plan While a clients feelings might influence behavior the feeling itself appears frustrated or feels frustrated is a private event Any observable actions associated with frustration eg throwing the puzzle crying hitting would be appropriate target behaviors In contrast hits their head verbally states and bites their fingernails are all directly observable and measurable actions making them suitable target behaviors
