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 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is conducting a functional analysis for a client’s self-injurious behavior (SIB). After implementing a function-based intervention that successfully reduced SIB, the BCBA temporarily withdrew the intervention conditions and reintroduced the baseline conditions to observe if the SIB returned to its previous high levels. This phase of the experiment, where the behavior is allowed to revert to pre-intervention levels to confirm the intervention’s effect, is best described as which component of experimental control?
Verification is a crucial component of experimental control particularly within withdrawal or reversal designs eg ABAB designs It involves returning to baseline conditions or removing the independent variable after an intervention has produced a change in behavior to observe if the behavior reverts to its original preintervention level This process serves to confirm that the observed change in the dependent variable the behavior was indeed a function of the independent variable the intervention rather than other extraneous factors The text states verification is when our Baseline data remaining consistent if the IB was never introduced verifying your prediction which implies demonstrating that the behavior returns to its baseline state when the intervention is absent thus verifying the initial prediction of change due to the intervention Prediction is making an educated guess about the outcome Replication involves repeating the experiment to demonstrate reliability Parsimony is an attitude of science not a component of experimental control
