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. Joey and Ross, two young brothers, are left unsupervised for two hours and, during this time, create a significant mess solely within the living room of their home. Upon their parents’ arrival, as a consequence of their actions, the boys are immediately instructed to clean not only the living room where they made the mess but also the kitchen, dining room, and their own bedrooms, to a spotless condition. This intervention is an example of which type of behavior-change procedure?
Restitutional overcorrection is a type of positive punishment procedure where contingent on an inappropriate behavior the individual is required to restore the environment to a state that is better than it was before the misbehavior In this scenario Joey and Ross made a mess only in the living room Requiring them to clean the entire house goes beyond simply restoring the living room to its original state it makes the environment better than before the mess which is the defining characteristic of restitutional overcorrection Negative practice overcorrection involves requiring the individual to repeatedly perform the inappropriate behavior or a similar functionally equivalent behavior for a specified period or number of times This is not what is happening here as they are not repeatedly making the mess Response cost is a negative punishment procedure where a specific amount of a reinforcer eg tokens privileges money is removed contingent on the occurrence of the target behavior While it involves the removal of something positive or reduction of desired items it is not the same as requiring an individual to engage in an effortful task to fix an environment Negative reinforcement is a procedure in which the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus contingent on a behavior increases the future probability of that behavior It is a reinforcement procedure not a punishment procedure and is not applicable to this scenario where an effortful task is being added as a consequence
