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 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is reviewing a scatter plot of a client’s challenging behavior, specifically biting. The scatter plot shows a high frequency of biting incidents occurring between 800 AM – 1000 AM and 1100 AM – 100 PM, with ample data points indicating both the presence and absence of the behavior during these times. However, for the time block between 200 PM – 300 PM, the scatter plot reveals very few or no data points for biting, indicating the behavior rarely occurs during this period. The BCBA’s primary goal is to conduct direct observations to gather rich antecedent (A) and consequence (C) data for a functional behavior assessment (FBA) of the biting behavior. Based on the provided scatter plot information, which time block would be the worst choice for the BCBA to schedule direct observations to effectively gather meaningful A-C data?
A scatter plot is a valuable tool for identifying patterns in behavior occurrence across different times of the day or days of the week When conducting a functional behavior assessment FBA the goal of direct observation is to systematically collect data on antecedents events immediately preceding the behavior and consequences events immediately following the behavior that maintain the target behavior To gather meaningful AC data the behavior of interest must occur during the observation period If a time block such as 200 PM 300 PM in this scenario shows very few or no occurrences of the biting behavior scheduling observations during this time would yield limited or no opportunities to observe the behavior its antecedents or its consequences While identifying times of nonoccurrence can be informative for developing prevention strategies it is inefficient for the initial goal of gathering AC data The time blocks of 800 AM 1000 AM and 1100 AM 100 PM which show high frequencies of the behavior would be the most opportune times for direct observation to efficiently collect the necessary data for an FBA Therefore 200 PM 300 PM is the worst choice for this specific purpose
