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. Tim, an RBT supervisor, observes Gina, another RBT, consistently waiting approximately 10 seconds to deliver a preferred reinforcer after her client emits a correct target response. Tim advises Gina to reduce this delay. Considering the fundamental principles of reinforcement, with what specific aspect of reinforcement delivery is Tim most likely concerned?
Contiguity refers to the immediate closeness in time between a response and its consequence In the context of reinforcement high contiguity means delivering the reinforcer immediately after the desired behavior A 10second delay significantly reduces contiguity which can lead to adventitious reinforcement of an unintended behavior that occurred during the delay or a weakened connection between the target behavior and the intended reinforcer Tim is concerned with ensuring the reinforcement is delivered as close in time as possible to the correct response to maximize its effectiveness and ensure the target behavior is truly being reinforced Magnitude refers to the size or intensity of the reinforcer eg how much of a preferred snack is given While important its not Tims primary concern in this scenario Rate of reinforcement refers to the frequency of reinforcement delivery over a period eg how many times per hour reinforcement is delivered Tim is focusing on the delay for a single instance of reinforcement not the overall frequency Ethical implications while always relevant in ABA are not the most direct or specific concern related to a 10second delay in this technical context the core issue is the efficacy of reinforcement due to timing
