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. Lane is at home studying on a cold evening. He notices that the temperature in his room is uncomfortably low, causing him to shiver and lose focus. To alleviate the chill, Lane walks over to his thermostat and turns on the heater. Shortly after, the room begins to warm up, and Lane feels more comfortable, allowing him to concentrate on his studies. In subsequent cold evenings, Lane is more likely to turn on his heater as soon as he feels a chill. This scenario most clearly illustrates which behavioral principle?

Positive Reinforcement

Negative Reinforcement

Positive Punishment

Negative Punishment

This scenario exemplifies negative reinforcement Negative reinforcement involves the removal or reduction of an aversive stimulus following a behavior which leads to an increase or maintenance of that behavior in the future In this case the chill is the aversive stimulus Lanes behavior of turning on the heater results in the removal of the chill As a consequence Lanes behavior of turning on the heater is strengthened making him more likely to perform it in similar situations in the future It is not positive reinforcement because a stimulus is being removed not added It is not punishment because the behavior is increasing not decreasing
