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. Each night you like to enjoy a cup of tea before bed. You grab your electric kettle, take off the top, put water into it, and then set it on the boiler to 212 degrees. After 5 minutes, the water is ready and the kettle beeps. When you hear the beep, you then pour the water over the tea. The beep represents what?

A. An S-delta (S)

B. A Discriminative Stimulus (SD)

C. An Establishing Operation (EO)

D. A Conditioned Punisher

The beep from the kettle represents a Discriminative Stimulus SD An SD is a stimulus in the presence of which a particular response has been reinforced in the past In this scenario the beep signals that the water is hot and ready thereby setting the occasion for the response of pouring the water over the tea Pouring the water when the beep occurs leads to the desired outcome tea whereas pouring before the beep ie when the water isnt ready would not be reinforced An Sdelta S is a stimulus in the presence of which a particular response has not been reinforced An Establishing Operation EO is an antecedent variable that alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer and alters the frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by that reinforcer eg being thirsty might be an EO for wanting tea A conditioned punisher is a stimulus that has acquired its punishing properties through association with other punishers which is not the function of the beep in this context
