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 BCBA is developing a contingency contract with a parent for a teenage client aimed at increasing independent morning routines. To ensure the contract is effective and clear for all parties, what is the most important characteristic for the descriptions of the target behaviors and the associated consequences within the contract?

They should be broadly defined to allow for flexibility and client interpretation.

They must be written using highly technical ABA jargon to ensure scientific rigor.

They need to be clearly defined, complete, and describe precisely what is expected of the client and the specific consequences.

They should primarily focus on subjective feelings of accomplishment rather than observable actions.

For a contingency contract to be effective it is crucial that all components especially the target behaviors and the associated consequences are operationally defined This means they must be described in terms that are clear complete and unambiguous so that all parties the client parent and BCBA have a shared understanding of what needs to be done and what will occur Broad or subjective definitions can lead to misunderstandings disagreements and a lack of consistent implementation which can undermine the contracts effectiveness While ABA is a scientific field a contingency contract for a client and parent should use language that is easily understood by them not necessarily highly technical jargon as long as the definitions are precise Focusing on subjective feelings is not appropriate for behavioral definitions observable and measurable actions are required
