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. An RBT is teaching a learner to mand for preferred items using a least-to-most prompting hierarchy. Initially, the RBT uses full physical prompts to guide the learner’s hand to the picture of the desired item. To effectively transfer stimulus control from the full physical prompt to the natural discriminative stimulus (e.g., the preferred item being present), which of the following actions should the RBT most carefully avoid?

Systematically fading the physical prompt to a gestural prompt, then to a verbal prompt, and finally no prompt.

Providing reinforcement only when the learner independently mands for the item in the presence of the desired SD.

Implementing graduated guidance, where the RBT provides only the necessary amount of physical assistance and gradually reduces it.

Continuing to use the full physical prompt for an extended duration, beyond what is necessary, to ensure the learner performs the skill flawlessly before attempting to fade.

Transferring stimulus control from a prompt to a desired SD is a fundamental aspect of teaching new skills The goal is for the learners response to come under the control of the natural discriminative stimulus not the prompt Continuing to use an intrusive prompt such as a full physical prompt for longer than necessary Option D is precisely what should be avoided This practice leads to prompt dependency where the learner becomes reliant on the prompt and fails to respond to the natural SD independently Options A systematic fading B reinforcing independent responses to the SD and C graduated guidance which is a method of quickly fading physical prompts are all effective and recommended strategies for facilitating stimulus control transfer and preventing prompt dependency The text explicitly states to avoid doing using physical prompts for longer than necessary
