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!

The scenario describes a situation where a verbal statement eating too much candy would make your teeth fall out controls behavior even though the stated consequence your teeth never fell out never actually occurred The text explicitly states if we have a verbal statement that controls our behavior what do we call that do we call that a rule well yes right this is a verbal statement that is controlling our behavior its not contingencybased because theres no consequence right theres never a consequence of your teeth falling out it was enough just to hear that verbal statement that it could happen and thats controlling your behavior making it a rule Option A contingencyshaped behavior is incorrect because this type of behavior is established and maintained by direct contact with consequences in the environment In this example there was no direct consequence for eating candy that led to the avoidance thus it is not contingencyshaped Option B respondent conditioning is incorrect Respondent conditioning involves involuntary reflexlike responses elicited by antecedent stimuli as the text notes responding conditioning is stimulus response has to do with reflexes Avoiding candy is an operant behavior not a reflexive one Option D promptdependent behavior is incorrect While the initial warning acted as a verbal prompt the behavior has persisted and generalized across time and settings indicating it is not dependent on the immediate presence of a prompt but rather governed by the internalized rule
