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. You ended a romantic relationship over three years ago. Your ex-partner frequently calls you, approximately every two to three months, and you have been attempting to put these calls on extinction by consistently ignoring them. However, every six months or so, you succumb and either pick up the phone or text back. Given this inconsistent application of extinction, what behavioral phenomenon is most likely to occur regarding your ex-partner’s calling behavior?

A) Spontaneous recovery of the calling behavior

B) Rapid and complete extinction of the calling behavior

C) Increased resistance to extinction

D) Successful implementation of planned ignoring

When a behavior is intermittently reinforced even inadvertently or infrequently it becomes significantly more challenging to extinguish The text explicitly warns against intermittently reinforce those behaviors when attempting extinction stating that we will never reach extinction under such conditions This intermittent reinforcement schedule makes the behavior highly persistent leading to increased resistance to extinction This means the calling behavior will be much harder to eliminate in the future even if a consistent extinction procedure is eventually applied Spontaneous recovery occurs after a behavior has been successfully extinguished which has not happened here due to the intermittent reinforcement Rapid extinction is directly contradicted by intermittent reinforcement Successful planned ignoring implies consistent nonreinforcement which is not occurring in this scenario
