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!

 

Results

#1. A behavior analyst is observing a client who frequently engages in a low-intensity, high-frequency stereotypy, such as brief hand-flapping. To obtain data that would most likely overestimate the actual occurrence or duration of this behavior for initial intervention planning, which discontinuous measurement procedure would be the most appropriate choice?

Whole Interval Recording

Momentary Time Sampling

Partial Interval Recording

Event Recording

Partial Interval Recording is a discontinuous measurement procedure where the observer records if the target behavior occurs at any point even for a brief moment eg one second during a specified interval Because a single fleeting occurrence within an interval counts as a positive occurrence for the entire interval this method inherently tends to overestimate the total duration or frequency of the behavior For example if a behavior occurs for just one second in each of ten 10second intervals Partial Interval Recording would show 100 occurrence across all intervals suggesting constant behavior when in reality it only occurred for 10 seconds in total This overestimation can be useful in detecting the presence of a behavior that might be missed by other methods or when the goal is to decrease a behavior as it may show a higher baseline making reductions more apparent
