What is the RBT Exam?

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a paraprofessional certification in behavior analysis. RBTs work directly with clients under the close, ongoing supervision of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to implement behavior intervention plans, skill acquisition programs, and collect data on client progress. Learn more about how to become an RBT and the certification requirements.

The RBT exam is administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and consists of 85 multiple-choice questions (75 scored + 10 pilot) covering 6 content areas based on the RBT Task List. You will have 90 minutes to complete the exam at a Pearson VUE testing center. Read our complete RBT exam guide for detailed preparation tips.
