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. Walter, a business owner, is deeply concerned that his business partner, Jesse, consistently fails to complete his assigned work tasks in a timely manner. This delay is beginning to negatively impact customer satisfaction and the overall profit margin of their business. To address this critical issue, Walter devises an intervention plan to systematically try various types of reinforcement and punishment procedures, with the explicit goal of improving Jesse’s work habits. In the context of this planned intervention and an ABA experimental analysis, what element represents the dependent variable?

The specific reinforcement procedures Walter implements.

The various punishment procedures Walter implements.

Both the reinforcement and punishment procedures Walter implements.

Jesse’s timely completion of work tasks.

In experimental design the dependent variable DV is the behavior that is being measured and is expected to change as a result of the intervention It is the dependent outcome The independent variable IV conversely is the component that the experimenter manipulates adds or removes to observe its effect on the DV In this scenario Walter is actively manipulating the reinforcement and punishment procedures these are the independent variables to see if they will influence Jesses behavior Therefore Jesses timely completion of work tasks is the behavior being measured and is the target for change making it the dependent variable The text clearly states The dependent variable is going to be that behavior that were focused on The dependent variable hopefully will change as we introduce our independent variables and then concludes The dependent variable is going to be Jesses task completion
