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. Brittany’s friend suggests she take a shot of pickle juice after a shot of whiskey to lessen the burn. Brittany tries this, but after consuming the pickle juice, she becomes nauseous. Consequently, Brittany no longer drinks pickle juice. In this scenario, what type of behavioral consequence occurred that led to Brittany’s change in behavior?
To correctly identify the type of consequence we follow a twostep process based on the functional definitions of reinforcement and punishment 1 Determine if the behavior increased or decreased The scenario states that Brittany no longer drinks pickle juice which indicates a decrease in the future probability of that specific behavior A decrease in behavior is the defining characteristic of punishment 2 Determine if something was added or removed After taking the pickle juice Brittany became nauseous Nausea is an aversive stimulus an unpleasant feeling that was added to Brittanys experience following the behavior of drinking pickle juice When an environmental stimulus is added it is described as positive in the behavioral sense meaning to add or to present Combining these two determinations the consequence is positive punishment Positive punishment occurs when an aversive stimulus is presented immediately following a behavior resulting in a decrease in the future probability of that behavior The onset of nausea served as the added aversive stimulus leading to Brittany discontinuing the behavior of drinking pickle juice
