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. A parent observes their son watching Netflix during a time designated for homework. To address this, the parent cancels the son’s Netflix account for one month, with the specific intent of decreasing the future likelihood of the son watching Netflix instead of doing homework. Which behavior-change procedure has the parent attempted to implement?

A) Positive Punishment

B) Negative Reinforcement

C) Positive Reinforcement

D) Negative Punishment

Negative punishment is a behaviorchange procedure that involves the removal of a stimulus eg access to Netflix following a behavior eg watching Netflix instead of doing homework which results in a decrease in the future probability of that behavior In this scenario the parent removes a preferred stimulus Netflix access contingent on the undesirable behavior with the explicit goal of reducing the sons future engagement in that behavior Positive punishment involves the addition of an aversive stimulus to decrease behavior Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus to increase behavior Positive reinforcement involves the addition of a preferred stimulus to increase behavior The key differentiator here is the removal of a stimulus and the decrease in future behavior
