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. A behavior analyst has a morning routine of making tea for their family. In the afternoon, they offer more tea, but their family consistently responds with a verbal ‘no’ three times. After these three instances, the behavior analyst observes that their own behavior of offering tea in the afternoon significantly decreases in future frequency. Which of the following behavior-change procedures best describes what occurred to the behavior analyst’s afternoon tea-offering behavior?

Extinction

Negative Punishment

Positive Punishment

Negative Reinforcement

The behavior analysts behavior of offering tea decreased A decrease in the future probability of a behavior indicates either a punishment procedure or an extinction procedure Extinction involves withholding reinforcement from a behavior that was previously reinforced In this scenario the behavior of offering tea was not described as having been previously reinforced rather the verbal response no was added to the environment immediately following the behavior which then led to a decrease in the future likelihood of the teaoffering behavior Since a stimulus no was presented added and the behavior decreased this is a clear example of positive punishment Negative punishment would involve the removal of a stimulus and negative reinforcement would involve the removal of an aversive stimulus leading to an increase in behavior
