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 person experiences a tickle in their nose and immediately sneezes. Subsequently, while opening their front door, sunlight streams into their eyes, and they sneeze. After several such occurrences, the person now reliably sneezes whenever they open the door and sunlight hits their eyes. This entire process, where a previously neutral stimulus (sunlight and opening the door) comes to elicit a reflexive response (sneezing) through association with an unconditioned stimulus (nasal irritation), is best classified as an example of which behavioral process?
The scenario describes respondent classical conditioning Sneezing is a reflex an involuntary biological response In the initial phase the tickle in the nose is an Unconditioned Stimulus US that naturally elicits the Unconditioned Reflex UR of sneezing When opening the door and sunlight hitting the eyes initially a Neutral Stimulus is repeatedly paired with another stimulus that elicits sneezing eg the nasal irritation that precedes a sneeze or simply the strong sudden light causing a photic sneeze reflex which can itself be a US the sunlight and dooropening become a Conditioned Stimulus CS that elicits a Conditioned Reflex CR of sneezing This process is governed by an SR stimulusresponse contingency where antecedents directly evoke reflexes Operant conditioning in contrast involves voluntary behaviors responses that are strengthened or weakened by their consequences an SRS or ABC contingency and typically refers to behaviors that operate on the environment to produce an outcome While reflexes have a biological basis their conditioning is a core part of the science of behavior analysis
