Skill Acquisition is the highest-weighted domain. The passing score is 68% (approximately 48 of 70 scored questions). The exam is delivered at Pearson VUE testing centers year-round. To be eligible, candidates must be 18 years old, have a high school diploma or equivalent, complete a 40-hour training based on the RBT® Task List, and pass a competency assessment conducted by a BCBA® or BCaBA®. The RBT® credential must be renewed annually. The exam fee is $45 per attempt.
