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. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is beginning a new case with a client who presents with significant deficits in adaptive living skills. To efficiently identify potential skill-based targets for intervention, the BCBA decides to first utilize an indirect assessment method to gather initial information from relevant stakeholders. Which of the following would be the most appropriate indirect assessment to begin identifying these potential skill-based targets?
The question specifically asks for an indirect assessment to identify potential skillbased targets Indirect assessments involve gathering information about a clients behavior without directly observing the behavior itself This information is typically obtained through reports interviews or questionnaires completed by individuals who are familiar with the client such as caregivers teachers or the client themselves Option A Event Recording is a direct measurement method where the number of occurrences of a behavior is counted as it happens This requires direct observation of the behavior in realtime making it a direct assessment not an indirect one Option B Narrative Recording is also a direct observation method It involves writing a descriptive anecdotal account of the behavior and its environmental context antecedents and consequences as it occurs Like event recording it requires the assessor to be physically present and observing thus categorizing it as a direct assessment Option C Caregiver Interview involves asking questions to caregivers or other stakeholders about the clients skills deficits preferences and challenging behaviors This is a classic example of an indirect assessment and is highly effective for gathering initial broad information on potential skillbased targets without direct observation It allows the BCBA to leverage the extensive experience and knowledge of those who regularly interact with the client Option D Conducting a Functional Behavior Assessment FBA is a comprehensive process that encompasses various assessment methods including both indirect eg interviews checklists and direct assessments eg descriptive assessments functional analyses to identify the function of a behavior While an FBA will include indirect components the question asks for the most appropriate indirect assessment to begin identifying skillbased targets not the entire FBA process A caregiver interview is a specific and foundational indirect assessment often used within an FBA but it stands as the most precise answer for a single indirect assessment method
