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 newly assigned Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is initiating mand training for a client who already demonstrates a full and varied vocabulary, including the ability to accurately tact (label) many items and echo vocalizations. Given the client’s existing verbal repertoire, which of the following considerations should be prioritized first when selecting targets for mand training?

What items the client is able to tact or label reliably

Whether the client can repeat the request if prompted

What items possess strong motivating operations (MOs) for the client

If the client can answer the question ‘What do you want?’

Mand training focuses on teaching a client to request what they want or need The defining characteristic of a mand is that it is evoked by a motivating operation MO and followed by a specific reinforcer Therefore the first and most critical step in mand training even with a client who has a full vocabulary is to identify items or activities that currently function as strong reinforcers and for which the client is currently motivated ie items that possess strong MOs If there is no MO there will be no desire to request the item making mand training ineffective Option A tacting ability is relevant for teaching tacts not primarily mands Option B echoic ability is useful for shaping vocal mands but is not the initial determining factor for what to mand for Option D answering What do you want is an interverbal skill which comes after a client understands how to mand for desired items independently
