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.

#1. At McNeil Law Firm, account executives historically received a monthly bonus for completing five or more case briefs. This month, an announcement was made that the requirement for the bonus would now be 15 or more case briefs. Following this change, the firm recorded the lowest number of bonuses ever given in a single month. From an ABA perspective, what is the most likely reason for the observed decrease in bonuses?
The most likely explanation for the significant decrease in bonuses following a dramatic increase in the response requirement for earning them is ratio strain Ratio strain occurs when the response requirement the ratio of responses to reinforcement is increased too quickly or becomes too large leading to a decrease or cessation of responding In this scenario the requirement jumped from 5 to 15 case briefs which is a substantial and abrupt increase in the effort required to earn the bonus This often leads to a breakdown in behavior as the effort no longer seems worth the reinforcement or the behavior simply extinguishes due to insufficient reinforcement for the increased effort Many of the account executives quit is not supported by the provided text and introduces outside information We should stick to what is stated in the scenario The bonus measurement system was implemented incorrectly is also not indicated in the text Theres no information suggesting an issue with how bonuses are measured only with the contingency for earning them The announcement of the new requirement was misunderstood is not a behavioranalytic explanation While misunderstanding can occur ABA focuses on observable behavior and environmental contingencies The core issue described is a change in the reinforcement schedule and its effect on response rate which points directly to ratio strain
