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. Christina, a seasoned baker, is preparing her renowned dessert. At one crucial stage, the recipe dictates that the dessert must remain on the heat for precisely 15 seconds to prevent it from burning. If this exact time requirement is not met, the entire dessert will be ruined, representing a failure of the behavioral sequence. Considering that Christina already possesses the skills to perform this recipe, what specific type of behavior chain is she executing when she adheres to this strict time constraint?

Forward Chaining

Backward Chaining

Behavior Chain with a Limited Hold

Total Task Chaining

A behavior chain with a limited hold is a sequence of behaviors in which the completion of one or more steps or the entire chain must occur within a specified time limit for reinforcement to be delivered In Christinas scenario the 15second requirement for keeping the dessert on the heat is a critical temporal contingency Failure to meet this precise time constraint the limited hold results in the failure of the entire chain the dessert burns underscoring the importance of this specific requirement Forward backward and total task chaining are teaching procedures used to establish new behavior chains not descriptions of a preexisting chains characteristic like a limited hold
