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. A BCBA is developing a task chain for a learner who is just beginning to learn how to ride a bicycle independently. To ensure the task analysis accurately breaks down the complex skill into smaller, teachable steps, the BCBA needs to gather information on how to perform the skill. Considering best practices in Applied Behavior Analysis, which of the following approaches would be the least appropriate to use during the task analysis process?

Observing an experienced and proficient bicycle rider (e.g., a professional or skilled adult) demonstrating the skill of riding a bicycle.

Recording oneself, as a proficient bicycle rider, performing the skill and then generating the sequential steps from that video analysis, adjusting as needed for the learner.

Consulting with a certified bicycle instructor who specializes in teaching beginners and experienced riders to create the task chain.

Observing another child of the same chronological age and skill level as the learner attempting to ride a bicycle and basing the task chain on their observed sequence of actions.

A task analysis is the process of breaking a complex behavior into smaller teachable units When conducting a task analysis it is crucial to derive the steps from an accurate and efficient performance of the behavior Observing an expert Option A a proficient individual Option B assuming the BCBA is proficient or consulting a specialist Option C are all appropriate methods because these sources can provide a reliable and optimal sequence of steps However observing another child of the same chronological age and skill level as the learner Option D is the least appropriate method This is because a peer who is also learning or struggling with the skill may not perform it correctly efficiently or safely Relying on an inaccurate model would result in a flawed task chain potentially teaching errors or ineffective strategies to the learner making skill acquisition more challenging and potentially reinforcing incorrect behaviors
