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. Greg lives in Arizona. Every morning, as he walks out his front door, the sun shines directly onto his face. Without fail, each time this occurs, Greg lets out a big sneeze. This reaction is involuntary and consistent. Based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, how would this specific behavior (sneezing in response to sunlight) be classified?

Operant Behavior

Rule-Governed Behavior

Contingency-Shaped Behavior

Respondent Behavior

Gregs sneezing in response to sunlight is an example of Respondent Behavior Respondent behaviors are involuntary reflexive actions elicited by a specific stimulus They are not maintained by consequences but are rather a direct physiological response to an antecedent stimulus in this case sunlight hitting his face The text explicitly defines this as a stimulus reflex contingency where the stimulus sun has been paired with a reflex sneeze Operant behaviors in contrast are voluntary actions that are strengthened or weakened by their consequences eg getting reinforced for completing a task Rulegoverned behavior is operant behavior that occurs due to a verbal description of the contingency not direct exposure Contingencyshaped behavior is operant behavior that is directly developed and maintained by the immediate consequences of that behavior Since Gregs sneeze is an unlearned involuntary reflex elicited by the sun it falls under respondent behavior
