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. Sam, a newly certified BCBA, has been assigned a new client. To prepare for developing an intervention, she meticulously reviews the client’s medical history, school records, and all prior ABA records. She then schedules an assessment at the client’s home, bringing an RBT to collect narrative data while Sam conducts a comprehensive interview with the parent. Following the interview and data collection by the RBT, Sam develops a treatment plan and initiates intervention services. What crucial step did Sam neglect to do before beginning intervention, according to ethical and professional guidelines for BCBAs?

Include the parents in the creation of the treatment plan.

Review all available client records at the onset of the case.

Directly observe the client’s behavior herself before starting intervention.

Implement ethical contingencies within the treatment plan.

While Sam performed several appropriate and necessary steps such as reviewing records and conducting an indirect assessment the parent interview she critically failed to directly observe the client herself According to professional and ethical guidelines eg BACB Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts a BCBA cannot develop a treatment plan or initiate intervention services based solely on indirect assessments or observations made by others Direct observation of the clients target behaviors in their natural environment by the BCBA is a mandatory step to ensure a comprehensive accurate and ethical assessment which forms the foundation for effective and individualized treatment plan development The RBTs narrative data collection even if detailed does not fulfill the BCBAs professional obligation to conduct their own direct assessment before implementing an intervention
