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. In an adult group home, a behavior plan utilizes a group contingency where residents, who are all of legal drinking age, receive their preferred brand of beer at the end of the week if all communal household tasks are diligently completed. While alcohol can function as a reinforcer, its use can be associated with several potential unwanted outcomes. Among the following options, which one is NOT typically considered an unwanted outcome in such a reinforcement scenario?

A. The provision of alcohol could contribute to the development of health complications or problematic alcohol useaddiction among the residents.

B. Residents may attempt to obtain ‘bootleg’ alcohol from external sources, thereby circumventing the established contingency and reducing its effectiveness.

C. The desired behaviors, such as completing household tasks, demonstrate a significant and consistent increase in frequency and quality.

D. If the delivery of alcohol is not immediately contingent upon the completion of desired tasks, it might inadvertently reinforce other, undesired behaviors that occurred closer to the reinforcement delivery.

The question asks for what is NOT an unwanted outcome An increase in desired behaviors like completing household tasks is the fundamental purpose and intended outcome of any effective reinforcement procedure Therefore this is a positive and desired result not an unwanted outcome Options A B and D all describe potential negative consequences or challenges associated with using alcohol as a reinforcer or with improper implementation of a contingency These include serious health and addiction risks A the possibility of bootleg reinforcement diminishing the contingencys control B and the risk of inadvertently reinforcing offtarget behaviors if reinforcement is delayed or poorly timed D These are all legitimate concerns and unwanted outcomes when considering this type of reinforcer
