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. When designing an intervention plan that utilizes Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI), careful selection of the replacement behavior is crucial for the plan’s effectiveness. Which of the following is an essential characteristic for the replacement behavior chosen in a DRI intervention?

The replacement behavior should be a novel skill that the client has never performed before, requiring new skill acquisition.

The replacement behavior must be functionally equivalent to the target behavior being reduced, and it must be physically impossible for both behaviors to occur simultaneously.

The replacement behavior should be easy for the practitioner to prompt and reinforce, regardless of whether it serves the same function as the problem behavior.

The replacement behavior must occur at a higher frequency than the target problem behavior before intervention begins.

The text highlights three essential characteristics for replacement behaviors in a DRI 1 the replacement behavior is in the clients repertoire meaning its not a novel skill theyve never performed 2 it is functionally equivalent serves the same function as the problem behavior and 3 it cannot occur simultaneously with the target problem behavior Option A contradicts the advice that the behavior should already be in the clients repertoire Option C misses the critical components of functional equivalence and incompatibility Option D introduces a frequency requirement that is not mentioned as an essential selection criterion in the text for choosing the behavior but rather something that may be a result of successful intervention Therefore the combination of functional equivalence and the inability to occur simultaneously is the most comprehensive and accurate essential characteristic provided in the text for a DRI replacement behavior
