About the BCBA Free Practice Test

This page holds a free practice test for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification from BACB. The 10 questions are a free sample of the full Study4Pass practice set of 185 questions, so you can check your level before you commit to the real exam. The free sample is made up of 10 single-answer questions, each with a full explanation. Questions are spread across the areas that matter most on the real exam: Conceptual Foundations of Behavior Analysis, Measurement, Experimental Design and Applied Behavior Analysis. The Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) exam is a certification exam administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).

The target audience of the BACB BCBA Exam is individuals interested in becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). The Prerequisite for the BACB BCBA Exam is a master's degree in behavior analysis, education or psychology, plus at least 1500 hours of supervised experience in behavior analysis.

  • Certification: Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
  • Vendor: BACB
  • Free on this page: 10 practice questions with answers and explanations
  • Full practice set: 185 questions

Treat this sample as a diagnostic. Answer honestly, check the explanation after every question, and note which topics feel shaky. A short, focused review of those topics is worth more than re-reading everything — and the full set lets you drill them topic by topic.

A good way to use this page: take the whole sample in one sitting, then go back over every explanation with fresh eyes. Mark the topics that felt uncertain, not just the ones you got wrong — uncertain answers are unmarked risk on the real exam. One or two focused passes like this usually move a score more than days of passive reading.

  • All 185 questions with answers and explanations
  • Timed Exam Simulation that mirrors the real exam pressure
  • Topic Training to drill one domain at a time
  • Ask AI for More Explanation on every question
