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. Braden is on a token economy where he earns gummy bears for completing tasks. However, his RBT observes him frequently taking gummy bears from the reward jar without earning the required tokens or fulfilling the behavioral criteria. What term best describes Braden’s behavior of accessing gummy bears independently without adhering to the planned reinforcement schedule?
Bootleg reinforcement occurs when a client gains access to a reinforcer independently outside of the planned reinforcement schedule or without meeting the required criteria This unauthorized access can inadvertently reinforce undesired behaviors eg stealing noncompliance and undermine the effectiveness of a meticulously designed behaviorchange plan by making the earned reinforcement less valuable In Bradens case by taking gummy bears without earning them he is engaging in bootleg reinforcement Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior DRO is an intervention where reinforcement is delivered when a specific target behavior has not occurred for a specified period which is not what Braden is doing Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase a desired behavior which is also not applicable here A Motivating Operation MO alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer and the frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by that reinforcer but it does not describe the act of gaining unauthorized access to reinforcement
