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. Gavin is an excellent cook, but his girlfriend thinks he puts too many pinches of salt into his dishes. To address this, Gavin’s girlfriend decides she will praise Gavin whenever he puts less than four pinches of salt into his dishes. However, she will not praise him when he puts four or more pinches. Assuming Gavin values his girlfriend’s praise, what behavior-change procedure is Gavin’s girlfriend attempting to implement?

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)

Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of Behavior (DRL)

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Behavior (DRD)

Gavins girlfriend is attempting to implement Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rates of Behavior DRL DRL is a procedure used to decrease the rate of a behavior but not necessarily eliminate it entirely Reinforcement is delivered when the behavior occurs at a rate lower than or equal to a predetermined criterion In this case the girlfriend wants to reduce the amount of salt the rate of pinches but still wants some salt reinforcing Gavin for using less than four pinches Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior DRA involves reinforcing a desirable alternative behavior while withholding reinforcement for the target problem behavior Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior DRO involves reinforcing the absence of the target behavior for a specified period Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Behavior DRD is similar to DRL but typically involves a time component where the rate criterion gradually decreases over successive intervals
