Answer all 75, then get your score with full answer explanations.
This 75-question RBT practice test is one of several free RBT practice tests in our prep library — start from the free RBT practice tests homepage to see every option, then come back here when you’re ready to work through a longer set. The number 75 is deliberate: the real RBT exam contains 85 questions, but only 75 of them are scored (the other 10 are unscored pilot questions). This test matches that scored count, so your result maps directly onto the part of the exam that actually decides whether you pass.
In short
This is a free, 75-question RBT practice exam aligned with the RBT Task List 3rd Edition (Exam 3.0). It mirrors the 75 scored questions on the real test, covers all six domains, and gives instant scoring with explanations. Aim for 80% or higher before you book the real exam, then confirm with the full-length 85-question practice exam.
Why take a 75-question RBT practice test?
Because 75 is the number that counts. On the real RBT exam, your score comes only from the 75 scored questions — the 10 pilot items don’t affect your result. A 75-question practice test therefore gives you the cleanest possible read on your scored performance, without the extra pilot questions. It’s long enough to build real exam stamina and surface every weak domain, and it’s the ideal step between shorter quizzes and a full 85-question simulation.
What this practice test covers
The 75 questions are spread across all six domains of the RBT Task List (3rd Edition), roughly matching the real exam’s weighting. Review any domain in depth in the RBT study guide, or drill it on its own quiz:
75-question vs 85-question: which should you take?
Both matter, and they serve slightly different purposes:
- 75-question test (this page) — mirrors the scored portion of the exam. Best for measuring your “true” scored performance and for focused, slightly shorter full-length practice.
- 85-question practice exam — mirrors the complete exam you’ll actually sit, including the 10 pilot questions and the full 90-minute timing. Best for a true test-day simulation.
The ideal approach is to use both: take this 75-question test to pinpoint weak domains, study them in the study guide, then prove readiness on the full 85-question exam. For the exact Pearson VUE interface feel, add the Pearson VUE-style questions, and for a complete simulation try the full RBT mock exam.
How to use your score
- 60+ correct (80%+): you’re at readiness level. Confirm it on the full-length 85-question exam, then schedule the real test.
- 45–59 correct (60–78%): close. Note your weakest domains, review them in the RBT study guide, drill the matching quizzes above, and retake.
- Under 45 (below 60%): build the foundation first with the study guide and the shorter 25-question test or scenario-based test before returning.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the real RBT exam have 85 questions but only 75 scored?
The RBT exam includes 85 multiple-choice questions, but only 75 are scored. The other 10 are unscored pilot questions the BACB is testing for future exams — they don’t affect your result. This 75-question practice test matches the scored count.
Is this 75-question practice test free?
Yes — it’s completely free, with no sign-up, no email, and no payment. You can take it as many times as you like, and every question includes an explanation.
What score do I need on the RBT exam?
The BACB uses scaled scoring rather than a fixed percentage, so there’s no published pass mark. As a benchmark, aim to score about 80% or higher (roughly 60 of 75) consistently on practice before testing.
Are these real RBT exam questions?
No. The actual exam questions are confidential. These are original questions written by a BCBA to match the style, difficulty, and content distribution of the real exam — the most effective and legal way to prepare.
Is the 75-question or 85-question test better?
Use both. The 75-question test mirrors the scored portion and is great for measuring performance; the 85-question exam mirrors the complete test, including pilot questions and full timing, for a true simulation.
Is this website affiliated with the BACB or Pearson VUE?
No. This is an independent study resource based on publicly available BACB guidelines and the RBT Task List (3rd Edition). It is not sponsored or endorsed by the BACB or Pearson VUE.
