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.

#1. A parent observes their son spending significant time watching Netflix instead of completing his assigned homework. In an attempt to decrease the Netflix watching behavior, the parent cancels the son’s Netflix account for one month. What type of behavior-change procedure has the parent attempted to implement?
The parents action involves the removal of a preferred stimulus access to the Netflix account from the sons environment This removal is implemented with the goal of decreasing the future likelihood of the undesirable behavior watching Netflix According to the fundamental principles of Applied Behavior Analysis when a stimulus is removed negative following a behavior and this removal results in a decrease in the future probability of that behavior it is defined as negative punishment This specific procedure is often a form of response cost where a specific amount of a reinforcer in this case access to Netflix is removed contingent on the occurrence of a target behavior Positive punishment would involve the presentation or addition of an aversive stimulus to decrease behavior Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase the future probability of a desired behavior Extinction involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior leading to its eventual decrease while the parent is withholding access to Netflix the primary operation is the removal of an established privilege categorizing it more directly as negative punishment or response cost rather than the more general concept of extinction for a behavior that was likely maintained by automatic or varied reinforcement
