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. Dan’s in-laws are scheduled to arrive in town while he is at work. Upon leaving work, Dan deliberately chooses to take a route home that adds an additional 45 minutes to his usual commute time. Based on this scenario and the principle of parsimony in behavior analysis, what is the most likely function of Dan’s behavior?

To obtain a tangible item or activity.

To gain attention from others.

To escape or avoid an undesirable situation or interaction.

To engage in automatic sensory stimulation.

The information provided indicates that Dans inlaws are arriving and he takes an unusually long route home delaying his arrival by 45 minutes This action directly leads to a postponement of his interaction with his inlaws suggesting an attempt to escape or avoid this situation According to the principle of parsimony we should choose the simplest and most logical explanation for behavior given the available information There is no evidence in the scenario to support the functions of obtaining a tangible gaining attention or automatic sensory stimulation Therefore the most straightforward hypothesis is that Dan is engaging in escapeavoidance behavior related to his inlaws arrival
