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. Jan, a BCBA, is assisting with a behavior assessment for a client engaging in maladaptive behavior. She instructs her RBT to intentionally deliver attention contingent on the client engaging in the maladaptive behavior. Jan then observes how this manipulation affects the frequency of the maladaptive behavior. Considering that Jan is systematically manipulating environmental variables to identify the function of the behavior, what specific type of assessment is Jan most likely conducting?
Jan is conducting a functional analysis FA A functional analysis is a form of direct assessment where environmental variables antecedents and consequences are systematically manipulated in controlled conditions to determine the maintaining variables function of a challenging behavior By intentionally delivering attention contingent on the maladaptive behavior Jan is experimentally testing the hypothesis that the behavior is maintained by attention While a functional analysis is a type of direct assessment meaning the behavior is observed and measured as it occurs functional analysis is the most specific and accurate answer because it denotes the systematic experimental manipulation of variables to determine function going beyond mere observation Indirect assessments involve gathering information through interviews questionnaires or rating scales without direct observation of the client Descriptive assessments involve observing and recording behavior and environmental events as they naturally occur without active manipulation of variables
