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. For over three years, you have been attempting to place your ex-girlfriend’s calls on extinction, as she calls approximately every two to three months. However, every six months, you inadvertently pick up the phone or text her back. Considering this intermittent and inconsistent application of an extinction procedure, what is the most likely outcome regarding the ex-girlfriend’s calling behavior?

Spontaneous recovery will occur more frequently.

The behavior will quickly extinguish due to the elapsed time between calls.

Resistance to extinction will be significantly increased.

A successful planned ignoring procedure will be implemented.

The text explicitly states that if a behavior is intermittently reinforced while attempting extinction we will never reach extinction or extinction is not going to happen Intermittent reinforcement even if infrequent like every six months in this case makes a behavior more persistent and harder to extinguish This phenomenon is known as increased resistance to extinction which refers to the extent to which responding persists after an extinction procedure has been implemented Spontaneous recovery is the reemergence of an extinct behavior but if extinction is not achieved due to intermittent reinforcement spontaneous recovery cannot occur The behavior will not quickly extinguish rather it will be much harder to extinguish Planned ignoring is a form of extinction but it is not successfully implemented if reinforcement is occasionally provided
