BCBA Scenario Generator (Free Tool) – Daily ABA Practice Scenarios for 2025

Preparing for the BCBA exam means mastering scenario-based problem solving — not just memorizing terms. The exam is packed with real-world vignettes involving ABC analysis, functions of behavior, ethical dilemmas, measurement selection, DRA/DRI/DRO decisions, and stimulus control issues.

To make this type of prep easier (and more enjoyable), we built the BCBA Scenario Generator – Daily ABA Scenarios, a free tool that delivers fresh, exam-style ABA vignettes every day, complete with explanations, distractor analysis, and instant feedback.

📚 Static Example Scenarios


Scenario Example 1 — Function of Behavior

A teacher tells Marcus to begin his math worksheet. Marcus immediately rips the paper, pushes his chair, and walks to the corner of the classroom. The teacher sighs and says, “Fine, you don’t have to do it right now,” and allows him to stay in the corner for 10 minutes.

What is the MOST likely function of Marcus’s behavior?

A. Automatic
B. Tangible
C. Escape
D. Attention

Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The removal of the worksheet demand immediately followed the behavior. Access to escape/avoidance is the clear maintaining consequence.


Scenario Example 2 — Ethics

A BCBA realizes that a parent started implementing a punishment procedure at home without training or consent. The BCBA strongly disagrees with the method but is afraid the parent will withdraw services if confronted.

What is the MOST ethical next step?

A. Document and ignore the issue
B. Immediately report the parent to CPS
C. Explain ethical concerns, review risks, and offer safer alternatives
D. Continue services without feedback to avoid conflict

Correct Answer: C


Scenario Example 3 — Measurement

During a 10-minute observation, the observer records whether a child engages in humming at the end of each 30-second interval.

Which measurement system is being used?

A. Event recording
B. Partial interval
C. Whole interval
D. Momentary time sampling

Correct Answer: D


Scenario Example 4 — Intervention Selection

A child engages in hand flapping primarily when excited but not when given access to a fidget toy. The team wants to reinforce replacement behavior that is incompatible with hand flapping.

Which intervention is MOST appropriate?

A. DRA
B. DRI
C. DRO
D. NCR

Correct Answer: B
Reason: Replacement behavior must be incompatible with the target behavior.
