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. Prior to the two-week Christmas break, several students in a classroom no longer requested to play with Legos during their designated break time. However, after returning from vacation, all students immediately began to request access to Legos for break time once again. What behavioral principle or phenomenon most likely explains the renewed interest in Legos after the vacation period?

Habituation, as the students grew tired of Legos and then the break reduced their sensitivity.

Satiation, where prolonged access to Legos before the break reduced their effectiveness as a reinforcer.

Punishment, as playing with Legos was previously associated with an aversive event.

Establishing Operation (EO), where the two-week deprivation from Legos increased their value as a reinforcer.

An Establishing Operation EO is an environmental event stimulus or condition that alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer valuealtering effect and alters the frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus behavioraltering effect In this scenario the twoweek Christmas break served as a period of deprivation from Legos This deprivation increased the reinforcing effectiveness of Legos making them more desirable and evoked increased the frequency of behaviors that had historically resulted in access to Legos eg requesting them Satiation B is the opposite of deprivation where prolonged access to a reinforcer decreases its effectiveness Habituation A refers to a decrease in response to a stimulus after repeated exposure but its not the primary behavioral principle explaining the value of the item Punishment C decreases the future probability of a behavior which is not what is observed with the renewed interest in Legos
