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 is developing an intervention for a group of elementary school students to reduce disruptive classroom behavior. They decide to implement a system where students are initially given an extra 15 minutes of free-play time at the beginning of the day, in addition to their regularly scheduled 30 minutes. This additional 15 minutes can be removed, in 5-minute increments, contingent upon instances of disruptive behavior. The original 30 minutes of free-play time remains untouched. This intervention best exemplifies which of the following behavior-change procedures?

Negative reinforcement

Interval response cost

Bonus response cost

Exclusionary time-out

This scenario perfectly matches the definition of bonus response cost In a bonus response cost procedure an individual is proactively given an additional amount of a reinforcer eg extra computer time freeplay time tokens that can subsequently be removed contingent on the occurrence of an undesirable behavior The key characteristic is that the bonus amount is given first and then taken away while a preexisting or baseline amount of the reinforcer remains protected This is distinct from standard response cost where earned reinforcers are removed negative reinforcement where a stimulus is removed to increase future behavior or exclusionary timeout which involves removing an individual from a reinforcing environment
