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!

All residents are legally permitted to consume alcohol. Considering the potential ethical implications and practical challenges, which of the following is NOT an example of a potential unwanted outcome when using alcohol as a reinforcer in this context?

Clients may seek out and obtain ‘bootleg’ reinforcement (alcohol from other sources) outside the established contingency.

Delayed delivery of the reinforcement (weekly) could inadvertently strengthen undesired behaviors that occur closer to the reinforcement delivery.

When an intervention is successful the desired behaviors are expected to increase Therefore the increase in desired behaviors is the intended and positive outcome of using a reinforcer not an unwanted outcome The other options healthaddiction problems bootleg reinforcement and strengthening of undesired behaviors due to delayed reinforcement are all significant potential negative or unwanted outcomes associated with using alcohol as a reinforcer highlighting the complex ethical and practical considerations in such interventions Behavior analysts must consider the potential for harm and the longterm wellbeing of clients when selecting reinforcers
