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. Sam, a newly assigned BCBA, begins a new client case. Prior to meeting the client, she meticulously reviews medical history, school records, and all prior ABA reports. She then schedules an assessment at the client’s home, bringing an RBT to collect narrative data while Sam conducts a thorough interview with the client’s parents. Following the interview, Sam drafts a comprehensive treatment plan and initiates intervention. Considering the ethical guidelines for BCBAs, what crucial step did Sam neglect to perform before starting the intervention?

She failed to review all available records at the onset of the case.

She neglected to include the client’s parentsguardians in the creation of the treatment plan.

She did not directly observe the client’s behavior herself before beginning the intervention.

She failed to implement ethical contingencies as part of the intervention.

While Sam diligently reviewed records and conducted an indirect assessment interview with the parents and even had an RBT collect direct observational data a fundamental ethical and professional requirement for all BCBAs is to directly observe the clients behavior themselves before designing and implementing an intervention The text explicitly states Sam and all BCBAs cannot write treatment plans using only indirect assessments You have to have a direct assessment to go along with that indirect assessment Direct observation by the BCBA provides critical firsthand information about the clients behavior in their natural environment allowing for a more accurate and comprehensive functional assessment and the development of an ethically sound and effective treatment plan Relying solely on indirect assessments or observational data collected by others no matter how thorough is insufficient for a BCBA to initiate intervention
