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. An RBT is working with a client who frequently engages in asking for a break by loudly shouting ‘Break time’ in the classroom. Previously, when the client shouted this, the teacher would immediately provide a 5-minute break from academic tasks. The BCBA has now instructed the RBT to implement a procedure to decrease this shouting behavior. Which of the following scenarios accurately describes the implementation of an extinction procedure for the target behavior?

The RBT ignores the client whenever they are present in the classroom, regardless of the client’s behavior.

The RBT physically blocks the client’s mouth with their hand to prevent the client from shouting ‘Break time’.

The RBT provides the client with a 5-minute break every 15 minutes, irrespective of whether the client shouts ‘Break time’.

The RBT no longer provides a break when the client loudly shouts ‘Break time’, but continues to provide breaks for quiet, appropriate requests.

Extinction is a behaviorchange procedure that involves discontinuing the reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior leading to a decrease in the future frequency of that behavior In this scenario the clients shouting Break time was previously reinforced by receiving a break Option D correctly describes extinction because the reinforcement the break is now withheld when the shouting behavior occurs Option A describes ignoring the client not specifically withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior proper extinction targets the behavior not the individual Option B describes response blocking which prevents the target behavior from occurring thus not allowing the opportunity for extinction to take place Option C describes noncontingent reinforcement NCR where reinforcement is delivered on a timebased schedule independent of behavior which aims to abolish the motivation for the behavior but is not extinction of the specific shouting behavior
