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!

 

Results

#1. A behavior analyst implemented a punishment procedure that effectively suppressed a client’s disruptive vocalizations. After several weeks, the analyst gradually faded and then completely discontinued the punishment procedure. Over the subsequent days, the client’s disruptive vocalizations began to slowly re-emerge, though not to their original baseline levels. This re-emergence of behavior following the removal of a punishment procedure best illustrates which of the following characteristics of punishment?

Spontaneous recovery

Resistance to punishment

The temporary nature of punishment effects

An extinction burst

The text explicitly states that punishment is not permanent if we stop the punishment the effects of the punishment eventually wear off This scenario describes the reemergence of a behavior after the punishment contingency has been removed which is a direct consequence of the transient nature of punishments suppressive effects Spontaneous recovery is specifically associated with the reemergence of behavior after extinction not punishment Resistance to punishment would imply the punishment was initially ineffective An extinction burst is an increase in behavior when a reinforcement contingency is removed not a punishment contingency
