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 behavior analyst is teaching a client to label ‘dog’ using discrete trial training (DTT). During the teaching session, the analyst presents three cards one displaying a dog (the target stimulus) and two displaying unknown animals. For each trial, the position of the dog card is varied, and the two unknown animal cards are switched out with other unknown animal pictures. The primary goal is to teach the client to correctly identify and label the dog. What type of trial is the behavior analyst most likely conducting?
This scenario describes distractor trials which are a common component of discrete trial training DTT during the acquisition phase of a new skill The purpose of distractor trials is to ensure that the learner is responding to the critical features of the target stimulus dog in this case and not to extraneous cues like the position of the card or specific distractor stimuli By keeping the target stimulus constant and systematically varying unknown or nontarget stimuli as distractors the behavior analyst prompts the learner to discriminate the target from other stimuli Maintenance trials are conducted after a skill has been mastered to ensure the client retains the skill over time Naturalistic teaching involves embedding learning opportunities within the natural environment which contrasts with the structured contrived setup of DTT described here Random rotation involves presenting a variety of known targets or targets from a mastered set in an unpredictable order to promote generalization and discrimination among multiple learned skills which is different from teaching a single target with unknown distractors
