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!

 

Results

#1. A research assistant is designing an intervention for a client’s maladaptive behavior. After meticulously collecting baseline data, she hypothesizes that her proposed intervention will reduce the frequency of the target behavior. She predicts the specific changes she expects to see once the intervention is implemented next week and aims to eventually demonstrate experimental control between her intervention (IV) and the client’s behavior (DV). In the context of the levels of scientific understanding in Applied Behavior Analysis, the research assistant’s current activities of hypothesizing and anticipating outcomes primarily exemplify which level?

Description

Prediction

Control

Explanation

The text explicitly states that the research assistant is hypothesizing possible correlation and predicting what may happen once she starts introducing her intervention Prediction as a level of scientific understanding involves establishing that two events regularly covary allowing one to predict the occurrence of one event based on the presence of another This stage involves formulating hypotheses about potential relationships and anticipating future outcomes While the ultimate goal in ABA is to achieve control by demonstrating a functional relation between an independent variable and a dependent variable the act of predicting outcomes before the intervention is fully implemented and control is established falls squarely within the prediction stage
