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. Jonah works for a company where cyber security is paramount. To gain entry into the building, Jonah must first swipe his key card, and immediately following that, he must enter a unique five-digit PIN code. The door will only unlock and open after both actions are successfully completed in the correct sequence. There is no specific visual or auditory cue that indicates to Jonah that the ‘swipe card’ component has been completed and it is now time to enter the PIN. Based on this description, what type of compound schedule of reinforcement is Jonah’s behavior of gaining entry operating under?
This scenario describes a tandem schedule of reinforcement A tandem schedule is a compound schedule where two or more basic schedules of reinforcement occur in a specific sequence and reinforcement is delivered only after the completion of all components Crucially in a tandem schedule there is no discriminative stimulus SD that signals the completion of one component and the beginning of the next Jonah simply knows the sequence of actions swipe card then PIN required to open the door without any explicit cue indicating the transition Option A a multiple schedule involves two or more schedules alternating usually randomly with an SD present for each schedule Option B a concurrent schedule involves two or more schedules operating simultaneously allowing the individual to choose which schedule to respond to often related to matching law Option D a chained schedule is similar to a tandem schedule in requiring a sequence of responses but it is defined by the presence of a discriminative stimulus SD that signals the completion of one component and the availability of the next component in the chain Since no such SD is present for Jonahs transition from swiping to entering the PIN it is a tandem schedule
