For ABA clinics and supervising BCBAs · Aligned with the BACB® RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.), in effect since January 1, 2026
RBT® exam readiness for new hires

See which new BTs are ready for the RBT® exam before you book it.

The 40-hour training meets the BACB® training requirement. It does not tell you who is ready to pass. In 2025, about 1 in 4 first-time RBT® candidates did not pass (BACB pass rates), and each retake means another $45 Pearson VUE fee and at least 7 days of waiting.

We give each trainee full access to our RBT exam prep app: 8 timed, 85-question mock exams and 2,250 practice questions organized by the six domains of the 3rd-edition Test Content Outline. You receive a readiness report by domain before you approve the exam booking.

Who you will work with

An independent exam prep publisher, focused on the RBT® credential

RBT Practice Exam is published by ARENA (EURL), a company based in Lille, France, and run by its founder, Eliott Raoult. We build exam preparation for certification and civil-service exams, and we answer clinic requests ourselves at clinics@rbtpracticeexam.io.

Our content is written from the BACB’s own documents: the RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.), the RBT Ethics Code (2.0) and the RBT Handbook. We are not affiliated with the BACB®, we are not a 40-hour training provider, and we do not issue PDUs.

How it fits your onboarding

Between the 40-hour training and the exam booking

Keep your current 40-hour training (an outside provider or your own). We cover the weeks between the end of that training and the day you approve the exam booking.

01 Invite

Send us your trainees

Email us their names and work emails when they finish the 40-hour training. Each trainee gets full access to the app within one business day.

02 Practice

Trainees practice by domain

Short practice series in each domain (Data Collection and Graphing, Behavior Assessment, Behavior Acquisition, Behavior Reduction, Documentation and Reporting, Ethics), then timed 85-question mock exams in the exam format.

03 Report

You decide when to book

We send the supervisor a readiness report after each mock exam: score by domain, weakest tasks, suggested next practice. You decide when the trainee books the exam.

What the supervisor receives

A readiness report by domain

Our team prepares the report from the trainee’s results in the app and sends it to the supervisor by email. Below is an example with a fictional trainee.

Tasks to review

Suggested next step: the Behavior Reduction and Behavior Acquisition practice series and lessons, then a third mock exam in about a week.

Scores are from our mock exams (85 items each). The BACB does not publish a percentage passing score, so our report shows trends, not a guarantee. Download the full sample report (PDF)
Question quality

Applied scenarios, with a rationale for every option

The RBT® exam asks candidates to apply concepts to session situations. These three items are written the way our question bank is written. Pick an answer to see the rationale.

Domain D · Behavior Reduction · Task D.6 Secondary effects of extinction
Tobias (age 7) calls out during tabletop teaching to get his therapist’s attention. The supervisor updates the behavior intervention plan (BIP): deliver praise and a token only when Tobias raises his hand quietly, and withhold attention when he calls out. In the second session under the new plan, calling out rises from 6 to 19 per hour and he slaps the table.

What is the most likely explanation, and what should the RBT do during the session?

Questions from clinical directors

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace the 40-hour training?
No. Trainees complete the 40-hour training with your usual provider. We cover exam preparation after it. We are not a 40-hour training provider and we do not issue PDUs.
What happens if a trainee leaves before the exam?
Email us. On the annual plan we move the access to your next hire. With per-trainee access, an access not yet used for a mock exam moves to your next hire.
Is the content aligned with the 3rd-edition Test Content Outline?
Yes. Practice series, lessons and mock exams are organized by the six domains of the RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.), which the exam has used since January 1, 2026.
Is there a score that guarantees a pass?
No. The BACB reports a pass or fail and does not publish a percentage passing score. Our report shows strengths and gaps by domain so the supervisor can decide when to book.
What do trainees use?
The same app as individual candidates, at app.rbtpracticeexam.io, on a computer or a phone.
