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. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is working with a new client who has a limited communication repertoire. The BCBA’s primary goal is to establish a clear and reliable hierarchy of preferred items to use as potential reinforcers during skill acquisition programs. The client has shown varying levels of engagement with different stimuli presented informally. Considering the objective of determining a precise hierarchy, which preference assessment method would be most appropriate and effective for this BCBA to utilize?
The text explicitly states that the best type of preference assessment to determine a hierarchy is going to be forest choice Paired Stimulus also known as Forced Choice is considered the most effective method for establishing a clear and reliable hierarchy of preferences This is because it systematically presents every item in the stimulus array with every other item in a pairwise fashion This systematic comparison forces the individual to choose between two stimuli yielding a precise indication of their relative preference for each item against all others This comprehensive comparison allows for a robust ranking making it ideal when a clear hierarchy is crucial for intervention planning While Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement MSWO also provides a rank order it does not involve the systematic pairwise comparison of every item against every other item which the text emphasizes as the strength of forced choice Free Operant Observation identifies preferred items by observing what the client spontaneously engages with when given free access but it does not systematically compare items to each other to establish a hierarchy Single Stimulus simply identifies if an item is preferred or not without comparing it to other items in a preference assessment context
