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, a low-functioning teenage boy with autism, is on a behavior plan designed by his BCBA to reduce self-stimulatory behavior. The plan utilizes a Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) procedure, where Braden earns a gummy bear if he does not engage in self-stimulatory behaviors for at least five minutes. The gummy bears are kept in a sealed container as the designated reward. Occasionally, when his RBT is momentarily distracted, Braden will access the container and take a gummy bear without having met the DRO contingency. Braden’s act of taking an unearned gummy bear is best described as what?

A) Non-contingent reinforcement

B) Bootleg reinforcement

C) Negative reinforcement

D) Automatic reinforcement

The text explicitly defines bootleg reinforcement as When you earn or get reinforcement or you take reinforcement that you did not deserve or did not earn Bradens action of taking a gummy bear when the RBT is not looking and he has not earned it by meeting the DRO contingency directly fits this definition Lets distinguish other options Noncontingent reinforcement NCR involves the delivery of reinforcement on a fixed or variable time schedule independent of the learners behavior and is typically socially mediated Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus following a behavior which increases the future probability of that behavior Automatic reinforcement occurs when the behavior itself produces its own reinforcement without the mediation of another person Bradens action of selfaccessing the unearned reinforcer is distinct from these concepts
