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. Philip is learning Russian to impress Natalyia. He begins by watching YouTube videos, where he learns to match the spoken Russian word for a lunch item (Stimulus A) to its corresponding picture (Stimulus B). Later, without any direct teaching of the association between the spoken word and the actual food, Philip successfully uses the spoken Russian word (Stimulus A) to order the specific lunch item (Stimulus C) from a menu at a restaurant. Assuming that the relation between the picture (B) and the actual lunch item (C) was also established, what concept of stimulus equivalence has Philip demonstrated?
This example illustrates transitivity a type of derived stimulus relation within stimulus equivalence Stimulus equivalence refers to the emergence of untrained stimulusstimulus relations following the training of other relations There are three main types 1 Reflexivity AA Matching a stimulus to itself eg matching a picture of an apple to an identical picture of an apple This is often demonstrated when a learner selects an identical stimulus from an array given the stimulus itself 2 Symmetry AB then BA emerges If a learner is taught to select B given A and without direct training they can then select A given B For instance if Philip was taught to say jablon A when shown a picture of an apple B and then without further training could point to the apple picture B when someone says jablon A that would be symmetry 3 Transitivity AB BC then AC emerges This relation involves an intermediary stimulus If a learner is taught that A equals B eg spoken word pizza to picture of pizza and B equals C eg picture of pizza to actual pizza then without direct training the learner can demonstrate that A equals C spoken word pizza to actual pizza In Philips case He learned A spoken Russian word B picture of lunch item For transitivity to occur an intermediary B picture of lunch item C actual lunch item relation is assumed to be established eg he knows what the picture represents in real life The crucial demonstration is the untrained emergence of A spoken Russian word C actual lunch item he can use the word to get the food without ever being directly taught that specific AC link Selfmonitoring is a behaviorchange procedure not a component of stimulus equivalence
