Since January 1, 2026, the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam has been based on the BACB’s RBT Test Content Outline (3rd edition): 43 tasks, 6 domains, and 85 questions in 90 minutes. Many older study guides still teach the old Task List. This one was written for the current exam, from the first page to the last, in clear, simple English.
Test-takers told us what they needed most: practice questions that make sense, answer keys they can trust, full explanations (even on the full-length test), and terms that don’t change from page to page. This book is built around exactly that.
Inside, you’ll find:
Every exam task, explained simply. All 43 tasks, each with Key Terms, a Real-Life Example, an Exam Trap, and a “Remember This” summary
A full-length, 85-question RBT practice exam that matches the official exam blueprint, with every answer explained
80 more practice questions with explanations, each tagged to the exact task it tests, so you know what to review
Commonly Confused Terms, side by side: negative reinforcement vs. punishment, DRA vs. DRI vs. DRO vs. DRL, partial vs. whole interval recording, and more
Clear, concise definitions of essential ABA terms in an A–Z glossary
A 21-Day Fast-Track Study Plan for busy people who work, parent, and study
Test-taking strategies for scenario questions, pacing, and test anxiety
A score guide that shows which domains to restudy
A free printable bonus pack: study plan, exam overview, progress tracker, cheat sheet, and exam-day checklist
It covers all six domains: Data Collection and Graphing, Behavior Assessment, Behavior Acquisition, Behavior Reduction, Documentation and Reporting, and Ethics.
Whether you’re taking the RBT exam for the first time or trying again, this applied behavior analysis study guide walks you through it one task at a time.
