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 behavior analyst implements an in-home token system to increase a client’s manding behavior. This intervention is highly successful, and manding significantly increases at home. However, no intervention is implemented at school, and the environment at school remains unchanged. Based on this scenario, what is the MOST likely immediate consequence observed at school, and what behavioral principle explains this phenomenon?
The correct answer is Manding may decrease at school explained by behavior contrast Behavior contrast is a phenomenon where a change in the rate of a behavior in one setting eg an increase due to reinforcement is accompanied by a change in the opposite direction in another setting where the behavior is not reinforced or is under a different schedule of reinforcement In this scenario manding increased at home due to the token system reinforcement Since there is no such intervention or reinforcement for manding at school the relative value of reinforcement for manding is higher at home leading to a potential decrease in manding at school An extinction burst option A occurs when reinforcement is withheld following a previously reinforced behavior leading to an initial increase in the behavior which is not the case here as reinforcement is being provided at home Stimulus generalization option B would suggest the behavior generalizes to other settings but behavior contrast predicts the opposite effect under these specific conditions Option D is incorrect because behavior contrast suggests a change not stability in the unintervened setting
