RBT Exam Frequently Asked Questions

What is on the RBT Competency Assessment vs the RBT Exam?

The Initial Competency Assessment is a hands-on live evaluation performed by a qualified BCBA supervisor with a client or via role-play. Once you pass the competency assessment, you are eligible to take the computerized 85-question Pearson VUE exam.

How difficult is the RBT exam?

Historically, the first-time pass rate for the RBT exam is between 70% and 85%. While it is an entry-level test, questions require precise knowledge of terminology (continuous vs. discontinuous measurement, differential reinforcement, prompting hierarchies).
