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!

 

Results

#1. A school teacher has been struggling with a student’s disruptive classroom behavior for several weeks. After numerous unsuccessful attempts at various classroom management strategies, and without conducting a comprehensive functional behavior assessment (FBA), the teacher resorts to consistently using detention for disruptive acts and offering toys as a ‘bribe’ for periods of quiet work. In the context of Applied Behavior Analysis, how would these interventions (detention and bribery) most accurately be classified, particularly when implemented without proper assessment?

Antecedent Interventions

Baseline Technologies

Default Technologies

Reinforcement-based Procedures

The text defines default technologies as punishmentbased procedures these invasive these coercive procedures that traditionally have been used to manage behavior It further clarifies that typically default technology Technologies are used when proper assessments arent done In this scenario both detention a form of punishment and bribery when used reactively and coercively to suppress behavior rather than as part of a planned reinforcement system derived from a functional assessment fall under this umbrella These are interventions that practitioners might resort to out of frustration or lack of understanding of behavior function rather than strategies chosen based on a datadriven functional analysis The alternative and preferred approach in ABA is to conduct a functional behavior assessment FBA to understand why a behavior is occurring and then design functionbased interventions which are typically less restrictive and more effective than default technologies
