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. Christina is known for her world-famous dessert, which she bakes by following an extremely precise recipe. A critical step in her process requires her to leave the dessert on the heat for exactly 15 seconds. If she deviates from this precise timing, even slightly, the dessert will burn, and the entire baking process will fail. This specific, time-sensitive requirement within her known behavior sequence is an example of what component of a behavior chain?

Forward chaining procedure

Backward chaining procedure

Total task presentation

Behavior chain with a limited hold

A behavior chain with a limited hold refers to a sequence of behaviors that must be completed within a specified period for reinforcement to be delivered The text highlights this by stating this idea that one step in the chain is contingent upon meeting this exact time requirement as 15 seconds thats the limited hold if christina does not meet this requirement then the chain fails the behavior fails she burns the dessert she cant complete the chain in order to complete the chain she has to meet the requirements of the limited hold which is 15 seconds Forward chaining backward chaining and total task presentation are all methods for teaching new behavior chains implying the learner does not yet know the chain Christina however already knows how to bake the dessert christina already knows how to do this procedure the limited hold describes a characteristic of the chain itself emphasizing a precise temporal requirement for one or more steps to achieve the desired outcome
