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. A behavior analyst’s client, Leo, typically enjoys playing video games after school. However, for the past week, Leo’s parents have allowed him to play video games for unlimited time, often resulting in him playing for six to eight hours straight. Today, when his friend invited him to play his favorite game, Leo responded, ‘Nah, I’m really tired of that game.’ In this scenario, Leo’s extensive playing of the video game functioned as what type of motivating operation?
The text provides a direct example of this concept if the boyfriend played his new video game for eight hours today what are you already predicting just from that sentence you should already be predicting whats going to happen if hes playing at eight hours a day whats gonna happen well hes gonna satiate and when we talk about satiation were thinking about motivating operations he was satiated the Mo for the game right the Mo altered the value of the consequence of playing the game he was sick of the game theres no longer any motivation to play that game because the consequence was no longer valuable because hes satiated and the mo was altered applying the new video game function specifically is what was it an establishing operation well no because he said he was tired of the game it was an abolishing operation for wanting to play the game An abolishing operation AO is a motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus object or event or decreases the frequency of the behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus object or event In this case playing the video game for extended periods led to satiation which in turn decreased the value of playing the game as a reinforcer making Leo tired of the game An establishing operation EO would increase the effectiveness of a reinforcer A discriminative stimulus SD signals the availability of reinforcement for a particular behavior Playing the game itself is not a punisher in this context but rather an event leading to a change in motivation
