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. A behavior analyst is conducting a study to assess the impact of a differential reinforcement intervention on reducing the frequency of disruptive vocalizations among a group of sixth-grade students. The study is being carried out during the students’ regular physical education classes and lunch periods within their school environment. Considering the context and focus of this research, which type of behavioral science is primarily being conducted?
The scenario describes an example of Applied Behavior Analysis ABA Heres why Applied Behavior Analysis ABA is characterized by its focus on socially significant behavior its application to humans and its conduct in natural realworld settings like a school during PE and lunch The goal is to study the impact of interventions eg differential reinforcement to improve human behavior The text explicitly states that ABA involves our applied use of what we learn in labs to humans to determine interventions to change Lets distinguish from the other options Experimental Analysis of Behavior EAB typically involves basic research often conducted in highly controlled laboratory settings with an emphasis on discovering fundamental principles of behavior Historically EAB often involved animal subjects The text states EAB typically takes place in a lab setting with typically animals The current scenario is in a natural school setting with humans making EAB incorrect Practice Guided by Behavior Analysis refers to the direct implementation of behavioranalytic interventions and procedures in realworld settings to effect behavior change This is the actual service delivery component where an RBT or BCBA directly applies the principles The text clarifies that Practice guided by behavior analysis is our direct intervention Its what our RBTs are doing day in and day out The scenario however describes studying the impact which is more aligned with research ABA aimed at developing effective interventions rather than just routine implementation Respondent Conditioning also known as classical or Pavlovian conditioning focuses on elicited behaviors reflexes and the association of neutral stimuli with unconditioned stimuli to produce conditioned responses The study of differential reinforcement which targets operant behavior voluntary actions is not primarily a respondent conditioning investigation
