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 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is in the process of developing a comprehensive treatment plan for a client. When selecting appropriate target behaviors for intervention, the BCBA is guided by the core principles that behaviors must be observable, measurable, socially valid, and focus on public events, thereby explicitly avoiding private events or mentalisms. Considering these guidelines, which of the following behavior goals would be the MOST inappropriate to include in the client’s treatment plan?

A. The client will hold a pencil using a proper grip (defined as a tripod grasp) and accurately trace their name for 3 consecutive trials.

B. The client will remain calm when asked to hold a pencil and trace their name.

C. The client will independently trace at least six distinct letters without physical or verbal prompts when asked to trace their name.

D. The client will write their full name without prompts at the top of their worksheet within 30 seconds.

Effective behavior analytic interventions target behaviors that are objectively observable and measurable The term calm describes an internal state or feeling which is a private event or mentalism It is subjective difficult to define operationally in a way that allows for reliable interobserver agreement and therefore cannot be accurately or consistently measured by an external observer Behavior analysts must focus on public operant events that can be directly observed counted and recorded Options A C and D describe specific overt actions holding a pencil tracing letters writing a name that can be clearly defined observed and measured even if proper grip requires a specific operational definition The goal of remaining calm is inappropriate because it refers to an unobservable and unmeasurable private event rather than a tangible behavior
