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 client frequently reports waking up in the middle of the night experiencing heartburn. Immediately upon realizing this discomfort, they reach for and take an antacid to alleviate the symptoms. From an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) perspective, how would waking up with heartburn and the subsequent act of taking an antacid be most accurately classified?

A) Waking up with heartburn is a consequence taking an antacid is an antecedent.

B) Waking up with heartburn is an antecedent taking an antacid is a response.

C) Waking up with heartburn is a response taking an antacid is a consequence.

D) Both waking up with heartburn and taking an antacid are types of motivating operations.

In Applied Behavior Analysis an antecedent is an environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest A response or behavior is an action an organism does In this scenario waking up with heartburn occurs immediately before the action of taking an antacid thereby serving as the antecedent that occasions the behavior Taking the antacid is the specific behavior response that follows the antecedent and is presumably maintained by the consequence of heartburn relief Option A incorrectly identifies heartburn as a consequence and antacid as an antecedent Option C incorrectly identifies heartburn as a response and antacid as a consequence Option D is incorrect because while heartburn could function as an establishing operation EO for the antacid neither itself nor the act of taking an antacid are directly classified as motivating operations rather they are parts of a behavioral contingency ABC
