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.

Results

#1. On a trip last year, Sarah won 300 playing a particular slot machine. This year, she returned to the same casino and spent 500 on that slot machine, but did not win any money. As a result, Sarah vowed to never play that specific slot machine again. What behavioral principle best explains the change in Sarah’s future behavior of playing the slot machine?

Positive Punishment

Negative Punishment

Extinction

Overcorrection

The text provides an identical scenario explaining that reinforcement was withheld and emphasizing the distinction between extinction and punishment Sarahs previous behavior of playing the slot machine was positively reinforced by winning 300 This year when she played the same machine the previously reinforcing consequence winning money was withheld she did not win anything This withholding of a previously available reinforcer leading to a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior is the definition of extinction Positive punishment would involve adding an aversive stimulus negative punishment would involve taking away a preferred stimulus other than the reinforcer that was maintaining the behavior and overcorrection is a specific positive punishment procedure
