Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I take the RBT certification exam?

After successfully completing your RBT competency assessment, you’ll schedule your certification exam through Pearson VUE’s testing centers. Exams are administered at authorized testing locations worldwide.

How many questions are on the RBT exam?

The RBT exam contains 85 multiple-choice questions. Of these, 75 are scored questions that determine your pass/fail status, while 10 are unscored “pretest” questions used by the BACB for future exam development.

What score do I need to pass the RBT exam?

The BACB uses a sophisticated scoring method (the modified Angoff technique) to determine passing scores, which may vary slightly between exam versions. While there’s no fixed percentage, our data shows that candidates scoring consistently above 80% on our practice exams typically pass the actual test.

How difficult is the RBT certification exam?

The exam is designed to rigorously assess your understanding of applied behavior analysis principles. With proper preparation, most candidates find it manageable – approximately 74% pass on their first attempt. Our practice exams mirror the actual test’s difficulty to ensure you’re fully prepared.

What if I don’t pass the exam on my first try?

You may retake the exam up to 8 times within a 12-month period. After a failed attempt, you can reapply after 48 hours and schedule a new exam date at least 7 days after your previous attempt. We recommend using this time to focus on your weak areas identified in your score report.

Can I take the RBT exam online from home?

No. As of September 1, 2023, the BACB requires all RBT certification exams to be taken in person at approved Pearson VUE test centers. This ensures exam security and standardization across all candidates.

How should I prepare for the exam?

We recommend:

  1. Completing all required training
