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 client generally demonstrates appropriate behavior when working on homework with their therapist. However, when the client’s mother enters the room, the client consistently begins talking loudly, standing up from their seat, and occasionally throwing a pencil. These behaviors reliably discontinue once the mother verbally acknowledges the client in some way. Based on this descriptive assessment, what is the most probable function maintaining the client’s disruptive behavior?
This scenario presents a clear example of behavior maintained by social attention The key indicators are 1 the behavior talking loudly standing throwing pencil occurs specifically when the mother enters the room an antecedent and 2 the behavior ceases once the mother acknowledges him in some way a consequence This ABC pattern AntecedentBehaviorConsequence strongly suggests that the clients disruptive behaviors are reinforced by the mothers attention If the behavior were maintained by escape from academic demands Option A we would expect the behavior to occur primarily when demands are presented regardless of who is in the room and to cease when demands are removed which is not whats described There is no mention of the client gaining access to specific objects or activities ruling out access to tangibles Option B Automatic reinforcement Option D involves a behavior producing its own reinforcing consequence without the mediation of another person eg rocking for sensory input in this case the mothers acknowledgment is an external social consequence thus ruling out automatic reinforcement
