What is the RBT exam?

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam is the certification test administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) through Pearson VUE. It contains 85 multiple-choice questions — 75 scored and 10 unscored pilot questions — with a 90-minute time limit, and it’s based on the BACB RBT Task List (3rd Edition), the standard in effect for 2026. The exam emphasizes applied judgment: most questions describe a real situation and ask for the best action, not a definition.

That’s exactly what these free RBT practice exams are built to train. Working through full-length mock exams under realistic conditions prepares you for the content, the format, and the pacing — the three things that decide test day.

What is the RBT Exam 3.0 (3rd Edition)?

The RBT Exam 3.0 is the current version of the Registered Behavior Technician exam, based on the BACB RBT Task List 3rd Edition, in effect for 2026. It replaced the earlier 2nd Edition exam and reflects updated job responsibilities for RBTs working in applied behavior analysis. Every practice exam and mock test on this site is built specifically for the 3rd Edition (Exam 3.0), so what you practice matches what you’ll face on test day. Key points about the RBT Exam 3.0:

  • Based on the RBT Task List (3rd Edition) — the current standard for 2026 and beyond.
  • 85 multiple-choice questions — 75 scored plus 10 unscored pilot questions, in 90 minutes.
  • Six domains — measurement, assessment, skill acquisition, behavior reduction, documentation, and ethics.
  • Applied focus — most questions are scenario-based and ask for the best action, not a definition.

Why practice with The RBT Mock Exam?

  • Written and reviewed by a BCBA — questions reflect real clinical reasoning, not filler.
  • Aligned with the RBT Task List (3rd Edition) — current for the 2026 exam, across all six domains.
  • Genuinely free — no sign-up, no email, no trial, no upgrade.
  • Explanations on every question — you learn why an answer is right, not just whether you got it.
  • A full path — from quick quizzes to a timed 85-question simulation, plus a study guide to fill gaps.

How to use this site to pass

Take the 15-question quick check above to find your starting point. From there, drill your weakest domains with the topic quizzes and the RBT study guide, build difficulty through the scenario-based and 25-question tests, and confirm you’re ready with the full-length 85-question practice exam. When you can clear 80% on the full exam across two separate sittings, you’re ready to schedule the real thing.

Exam-day tip: when two answers both look right, the exam wants the BEST one. Rule out anything that has an RBT stepping outside their scope — diagnosing, deciding a behavior’s function, or changing a plan — and choose the option that follows the protocol and involves the supervisor.

Frequently asked questions

Are these RBT practice exams really free?

Yes — every practice exam, mock test, and topic quiz on this site is completely free. There’s no sign-up, no email required, no trial, and no paid upgrade. Every question includes an explanation.

How many questions are on the real RBT exam?

The RBT exam has 85 multiple-choice questions: 75 are scored and 10 are unscored pilot questions. You get 90 minutes, delivered through Pearson VUE at a test center or via online proctoring.

What score do I need to pass the RBT exam?

The BACB uses scaled scoring rather than a fixed percentage, so there’s no published pass mark. As a practical benchmark, aim to score 80% or higher consistently on full-length practice exams before scheduling the real test.

Are these the same as the real RBT exam questions?

No. The actual exam questions are confidential. These are original questions written by a BCBA to match the style, difficulty, and content distribution of the real exam — the most effective and legal way to prepare.

Are these practice exams updated for the RBT 3rd Edition (Exam 3.0)?

Yes. Every mock exam, practice test, and quiz on this site is aligned with the BACB RBT Task List 3rd Edition — the current RBT Exam 3.0 standard for 2026 — across all six domains.

Which practice test should I start with?

Start with the 15-question quick check at the top of this page. Based on your result, move to the topic quizzes and study guide for weak areas, then work up to the full 85-question practice exam.

Is this website affiliated with the BACB or Pearson VUE?

No. The RBT Mock Exam is an independent study resource based on publicly available BACB guidelines and the RBT Task List (3rd Edition). It is not sponsored or endorsed by the BACB or Pearson VUE.
