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. Jan, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), is supervising her Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) during an assessment. Jan instructs the RBT to intentionally provide attention (e.g., verbal reprimands, proximity) to the client immediately following any instance of the client’s maladaptive biting behavior. The BCBA has provided similar instructions for other conditions where different consequences (e.g., access to tangibles, escape from demands) are delivered contingent on the behavior. What type of assessment is Jan most likely conducting?

Indirect assessment

Descriptive assessment

Functional analysis

Preference assessment

Jan is most likely conducting a Functional Analysis FA A functional analysis is a direct assessment method where environmental variables antecedents and consequences are systematically manipulated in controlled test conditions to determine their effect on the target behavior The scenario describes an attention condition within an FA where attention is deliberately delivered contingent on the maladaptive behavior to test if attention serves as a reinforcer for that behavior Other FA conditions might test for escape tangible access or automatic reinforcement Indirect assessments eg interviews questionnaires gather information without direct observation Descriptive assessments eg ABC data scatterplots involve observing and recording behavior and its naturally occurring environmental variables but without direct manipulation Preference assessments are used to identify potential reinforcers not to determine the function of a challenging behavior
