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!

 

Results

#1. A client typically demonstrates appropriate behavior while engaged in homework tasks. However, immediately upon their mother entering the room, the client begins talking loudly, stands out of their seat, and occasionally throws a pencil. The mother consistently responds to these behaviors by acknowledging the client in some way (e.g., reprimanding, making eye contact, asking them to sit down). Based on these observations, what is the most probable maintaining consequence for the client’s disruptive behaviors?

A) Escape from academic demands

B) Access to tangible preferred items

C) Attention from the mother

D) Automatic reinforcement through sensory stimulation

The scenario describes a clear contingency where the clients disruptive behaviors reliably occur when the mother enters the room and the mother consistently provides a form of acknowledgement attention in response This indicates that the mothers attention is functioning as a social positive reinforcer increasing the likelihood of the disruptive behaviors recurring in similar situations The text states the client generally well behaves whenever youre working on homework which rules out escape as the primary function triggered by the mothers entrance There is no mention of tangible items being provided nor is there information to suggest automatic reinforcement is at play as the behavior is clearly correlated with the presence and reaction of another person
