Exam Format

  • The actual RBT exam consists of 85 multiple-choice questions, with 75 scored questions and 10 unscored pilot questions.
  • The time limit for the exam is 90 minutes.

Content Areas

The RBT practice exam covers the following content areas, reflecting the RBT Task List:

  1. Measurement (16%)
  2. Assessment (8%)
  3. Skill Acquisition (32%)
  4. Behavior Reduction (16%)
  5. Documentation and Reporting (13%)
  6. Professional Conduct and Scope of Practice (15%)

Purpose

  • RBT practice exams simulate the actual exam experience, allowing candidates to familiarize themselves with the question format, content areas, and time constraints.
  • They help identify areas of strength and weakness, enabling focused study and preparation.
  • Practice exams provide an opportunity to apply test-taking strategies and manage time effectively.
