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. James is preparing for an SAT exam and frequently runs out of time on practice tests because his tutor observes he takes too long to think through each question. If the tutor proposes to directly target thinking through each question as the behavior for intervention, what is the primary issue with this proposed target behavior from an ABA perspective?

Thinking is not a behavior, as it is a private event.

Thinking is an overt event that can be observed and easily measured.

Thinking is a covert event that cannot be directly observed or reliably measured.

Thinking is a private event, but it is not considered within the scope of radical behaviorism.

From an Applied Behavior Analysis ABA standpoint for a behavior to be a suitable target for direct intervention it must be observable and measurable This allows for objective data collection progress monitoring and evaluation of intervention effectiveness Thinking through each question is a private event or covert behavior meaning it occurs within the individual and is not directly accessible to external observation or measurement by others While radical behaviorism acknowledges private events as behavior and subject to the same principles as public behavior they cannot be directly targeted in the same way as overt behaviors Therefore a BCBA would typically look for publicly observable and measurable behaviors that are correlated with thinking eg time spent on a question verbalizations of problemsolving steps written work accuracy of answers prompt completion and target those for intervention instead
