Common questions
Is this RBT practice exam free?
Yes, completely. Every mock exam, quiz, flashcard set and guide on this site is free with no account, no email and no locked content. The site is supported by advertising instead of a paywall.
How many questions are on the RBT exam?
85 multiple choice questions: 75 scored and 10 unscored pilot items you cannot identify. You have 90 minutes at Pearson VUE.
What score do I need to pass the RBT exam?
A scaled score of 200 on a 0 to 250 scale. On practice mocks, consistently scoring 80 percent or better is a reasonable readiness signal.
Is the RBT exam hard?
Most candidates who complete the 40-hour training and practice with realistic timed mocks pass. The difficulty is scenario application, not recall, which is why practicing with explanations matters more than rereading notes.
Are these real RBT exam questions?
No. Real exam content is confidential, and using leaked questions violates BACB integrity rules. Every question here is original, written to cover the same Task List concepts the exam samples.
What is the RBT Competency Assessment?
A separate hands-on skills demonstration observed by a qualified assessor, completed after the 40-hour training and before your exam application. It is not a written test.
How much does the RBT exam cost?
The BACB application fee is $50 and each Pearson VUE exam appointment is $45. The 40-hour training ranges from free (through employers) to roughly $100 online.
How long should I study for the RBT exam?
Most candidates need 2 to 4 focused weeks after the 40-hour training: the study guide once through, daily domain quizzes, and at least two full timed mocks in the final week.
Do I need to be certified to use this site?
No. This site is for anyone preparing for the exam, deciding whether to become an RBT, or refreshing before annual renewal.
Is this site affiliated with the BACB?
No. RBT and BACB are registered trademarks of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc. This is an independent, free study resource, not affiliated with or endorsed by the BACB.
