The RBT exam is taken at a Pearson VUE testing center or through online proctoring. This page is a timed, exam-style run-through so the format feels familiar. It is not an official Pearson VUE product.
What to expect
- 85 multiple-choice questions, four options each.
- A 90-minute time limit.
- No scoring guidance from the BACB, so aim to be comfortably above 80% in practice.
Costs and rules to know
- Certification costs $110: $65 to the BACB and $45 to Pearson VUE.
- Cancellation fees are $27 if you cancel 5 to 30 days ahead and $32 within 48 hours to 5 days.
- You can retake up to 8 times in 12 months, with a 7-day wait.
Fees and rules can change, so confirm them on the BACB site before booking.
