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. Greg’s mother successfully taught him how to complete the entire sequence of mopping the floor using a forward chaining strategy. During the initial teaching phase, she always ensured the mop was readily available and the mop bucket was already filled with water and cleaning solution before Greg started. Now that Greg has mastered the mopping skill and performs it independently, his mother intentionally leaves the mop bucket empty, requiring Greg to fill it himself before he can begin mopping. She observes to see if Greg will attempt to problem-solve (e.g., look for the water source, find soap) or ask for help to complete the task. What strategy is Greg’s mother employing by not filling the mop bucket?

Forward chaining

Backward chaining

Behavior Chain Interruption Strategy (BCIS)

Total task chaining

Gregs mother is employing a Behavior Chain Interruption Strategy BCIS This strategy is specifically utilized after a behavior chain has been completely mastered and is performed fluently by the individual It involves deliberately interrupting the established chain at a specific point by altering or omitting an expected antecedent or material for a subsequent step The purpose of BCIS is not to teach the chain itself but to evoke novel behaviors such as problemsolving manding requesting assistance or items or other adaptive responses when the familiar sequence is disrupted This promotes flexibility generalization of skills and independent problemsolving rather than rote performance Forward chaining backward chaining and total task chaining are all methods for teaching a new behavior chain by sequencing steps and providing reinforcement which is distinct from the described intervention that occurs after mastery to promote adaptability
