Who administers the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination?

Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc. (BACB) — exam delivered by Pearson VUE. The examination is taken in person at an authorised Pearson VUE testing center.

How many questions are on the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination?

85 questions (75 scored, 10 unscored pretest). The scored items are distributed across the six content areas of the RBT Test Content Outline (3rd edition). All questions are equally weighted.

How long is the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination?

90 minutes. The 90 minutes is not pure question time: BACB states it includes reviewing the terms and conditions, the navigation tutorial and the load-time prompt. Breaks are taken on your own time and the clock does not stop.

What is the passing score for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination?

Not published by BACB. The RBT examination is pass/fail. BACB states that the passing point is criterion-referenced and set by a modified Angoff method, and publishes no percentage, no raw cut score and no scaled score. PrepPass states none.

How much does the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination cost?

$65 — Certification application processing fee (BACB, one-time); $45 — Examination appointment fee (charged for every appointment, retakes included) (Pearson VUE, per attempt); $50 — Recertification application processing fee (BACB, every two years, from 2026-01-01). There is currently no BACB fee to submit a retake application, but a new Pearson VUE appointment fee applies to each attempt and a seven-day wait is required. Attempts are capped: the Handbook allows "a maximum of 8 total attempts within a 12-month period following your initial application approval" (checked 2026-09-23). RBT recertification moves from an annual to a two-year cycle from 2026, so an annual recertification figure is out of date.

What languages is the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certification Examination offered in?

English. English only, stated affirmatively. BACB adds that check-in is conducted in English and that translators or interpreters — print, electronic or in person — are not allowed at testing centers without an approved accommodation.

Does the RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) cram sheet come as a PDF?

Yes — RBT — Cram Sheet (2026) downloads as PDF, 77 pages. The download link is emailed the moment payment clears and does not expire.

How much does the RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) cram sheet cost?

$9.99, once. There is no subscription and no account to create; the PDF file is yours to keep.

What is the difference between the RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) study guide and the cram sheet?

The study guide ($29.99) teaches the material chapter by chapter and is meant to be read over weeks. The cram sheet ($9.99, 77 pages) drops the teaching and keeps the figures: every number on the exam grouped by value so the confusable ones sit together, each reference page paired with a recall page that blanks the answers, and four routes by days left — 14, 7, 3, or tonight. They are separate purchases; neither replaces the other.

Is this the official RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) cram sheet?

No. This is an independent cram sheet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the exam's awarding body. It is written from BACB RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.) \u00B7 RBT Ethics Code (2.0). Always confirm current requirements with the body that issues your licence.
