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. Jamie habitually purchases a scone and coffee from Mocha Joe’s every morning. One day, after placing her usual order, she is informed that scones are no longer sold. As a direct result of this experience, Jamie begins going to a different cafe for her breakfast permanently. This long-term alteration in Jamie’s future behavior, specifically caused by the consequence of the scone’s unavailability (extinction), most accurately illustrates what type of behavioral effect?

Behavior-altering effect

Function-altering effect

Establishing operation

Abolishing operation

Functionaltering effects describe a relatively permanent change in an organisms repertoire of behavior as a result of an experience or exposure to a consequence In this scenario Jamies behavior of going to Mocha Joes for a scone was put on extinction when the scone was no longer available This consequence extinction led to a permanent change in her future behavior she now goes elsewhere for breakfast This is a functionaltering effect because it alters the future frequency of behavior under similar antecedent conditions In contrast behavioraltering effects are temporary and refer to the immediate effects of motivating operations MOs on the current frequency of behavior Establishing operations EOs and abolishing operations AOs are types of MOs which are antecedents that temporarily change the effectiveness of a reinforcerpunisher and the frequency of behavior Jamies change is not temporary but a lasting adjustment to her behavioral repertoire
