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. A special education teacher at Glenn Taylor Elementary is working with a class of 10 students on critical safety skills, including crossing the street safely and discriminating between strangers and non-strangers. The teacher sets the mastery criterion for these skills at 90. From an ethical and professional standpoint in Applied Behavior Analysis, is setting a 90 mastery criterion acceptable for these specific skills?

Yes, 90 is a commonly accepted standard for mastery in many educational and behavioral programs.

Yes, as long as the teaching method used is evidence-based and the students are showing progress towards the criterion.

No, because for critical safety skills where incorrect performance can lead to severe harm, the mastery criterion should typically be set at 100.

No, because mastery criteria should always be individualized based on each student’s unique learning curve, not a fixed percentage.

For critical safety skills like crossing the street or discriminating between strangers and nonstrangers a 90 mastery criterion is ethically unacceptable A 10 error rate in these areas can have severe lifethreatening consequences eg getting hit by a car engaging with a dangerous stranger The ethical responsibility of a behavior analyst and educators is to ensure the utmost safety and wellbeing of the client Therefore for such essential safety skills the mastery criterion should almost always be set at 100 accuracy often with an emphasis on fluency speed and accuracy to ensure the skill is performed reliably and effectively in realworld situations While individualized criteria and evidencebased methods are important they do not supersede the fundamental ethical requirement for absolute mastery in lifecritical skills
