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 BCBA has implemented an extinction procedure for a client’s candy-seeking behavior during therapy sessions. However, the BCBA has learned that the client is still consistently receiving candy in other environments, such as school. Considering the principles of effective extinction and the BCBA’s ethical obligations, what is the most appropriate immediate action for the supervising BCBA to take?

Initiate a punishment procedure immediately, as the extinction procedure is clearly failing.

Attempt to meet with school personnel to collaborate and ensure the extinction plan is consistently implemented across all environments.

Warn the client’s family that spontaneous recovery is likely to occur during the ongoing extinction process.

Monitor data for two additional weeks to determine if the extinction procedure will eventually become effective despite environmental inconsistencies.

Effective extinction requires consistency across all relevant environments If the behavior is still being reinforced in other settings eg at school true extinction is not occurring and the procedure in therapy will likely be ineffective The ethical code 602 emphasizes collaboration with other professionals Therefore the most appropriate immediate action is to meet with school personnel to get everyone on the same page and ensure the extinction plan is implemented consistently Option A is incorrect because punishment is a last resort not the immediate next step if extinction struggles due to inconsistency Option C is incorrect because spontaneous recovery occurs after a behavior has been successfully extinguished not during the extinction process Option D is incorrect because waiting two weeks would prolong the ineffective intervention and allow the problematic behavior to continue being reinforced in other settings undermining any progress
