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.

#1. A behavior analyst is working with an adult client who has mastered the entire behavior chain for preparing a cup of instant coffee. To promote flexibility and problem-solving skills, the analyst advises the client’s caregiver to occasionally hide the coffee mug in a different cupboard or place the coffee jar on a higher shelf, requiring the client to ask for assistance or search for the item. The primary goal is to teach the client to emit novel behaviors when the chain is disrupted. What type of behavior-change strategy is the behavior analyst employing?
The behavior analyst is employing a Behavior Chain Interruption Strategy BCIS This strategy involves purposely blocking or interrupting a clients performance of a known behavior chain at a predetermined step The interruption is designed to evoke a new untrained or novel response from the client such as asking for help locating a missing item or using a problemsolving skill The intent is to teach the client how to adapt and respond effectively when unforeseen obstacles occur in naturalistic settings thus increasing the flexibility and independence of the behavior chain Lets consider why the other options are incorrect Forward Chaining and Backward Chaining are methods used to teach a new behavior chain by either teaching the first step first forward or the last step first backward In this scenario the client has already mastered the entire chain so the goal is not to teach the chain itself but to enhance adaptability within it Shaping involves differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior While problemsolving behavior might eventually be shaped the primary strategy of intentionally interrupting a mastered chain to evoke novel responses is the defining feature of BCIS not shaping of the chain itself
