About the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT®) Certification Exam

The Registered Behavior Technician® (RBT®) exam is administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®) and certifies paraprofessionals who implement applied behavior analysis (ABA) programs under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®). Effective January 1, 2026, the exam is based on the RBT® Test Content Outline (3rd edition) with 85 total questions — 75 scored questions and 10 unscored pilot items — with a 90-minute time limit. Questions are drawn from six domains: Data Collection and Graphing, Behavior Assessment, Behavior Acquisition, Behavior Reduction, Documentation and Reporting, and Ethics. Behavior Acquisition is the highest-weighted domain. The passing score is criterion-referenced (determined by the modified Angoff method); no fixed percentage is published by the BACB. 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® Test Content Outline, and pass a competency assessment conducted by a BCBA® or BCaBA®. The RBT® credential renewal cycle changed in 2026: RBTs now renew every two years (rather than annually), completing 12 Professional Development Units (PDUs) per two-year cycle. The exam fee is $45 per attempt. Kaplan CertPrep's RBT® Certification Prep covers all six domains of the 3rd Edition Test Content Outline with 800 practice questions, 3 full-length practice tests, and 300 flashcards.
