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. For the past four weeks, Henry has developed a rigid morning routine where he consistently puts his left shoe on first, followed by his right shoe, before leaving for work. During this exact four-week period, Henry received two significant promotions at his job, leading him to believe his shoe-wearing sequence is directly responsible for his professional success. From a behavioral perspective, why might a behavior analyst seriously doubt that these two occurrences are functionally related?
The text introduces this scenario directly in the context of superstitious behavior and superstitious Behavior can be explained behaviorally Superstitious behavior occurs when a behavior is accidentally reinforced by a noncontingent event In Henrys situation the promotions are consequences that occur after his specific shoewearing routine but they are not caused by or functionally dependent on that routine The relationship is purely coincidental Therefore a behavior analyst would doubt a functional relation because the consequence promotions is not contingent upon the specific behavior shoewearing order Option A is incorrect because while shoewearing is part of a chain that doesnt preclude reinforcement for specific steps though the specific contingency here is flawed Option B describes rulegoverned behavior which could maintain superstitious behavior after its established but it doesnt explain why one would initially doubt the direct functional relation as the source of the behavior Option D is incorrect the issue is the contingency or lack thereof between behavior and consequence not the rate or magnitude of the consequence itself
