How to Prepare for the Exam?

Take your time: You have around 90 minutes to finish. So, don’t rush. Please read each of the questions carefully and then answer them.
Answer everything: If you’re not sure, take your best guess. There is no negative marking in the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam. (lucky, right?)
Stay calm: If a question is hard, don’t dwell on it. You can skip it for now and come back to it later after you have completed the easier ones that you know.
Think about real-life examples: Use what you’ve learned from helping others or watching ABA work. That can help you pick the right answer.

My Personal Study Tips

Learn the important words: Make flashcards to remember words like reinforcement, behavior, and prompting.
Understand what things mean: I made this silly mistake in my preparation days. I want you to not just memorize but try to really get what things mean. For example, know how positive reinforcement is different from negative reinforcement.
Take practice tests: Practice with tests that look like the real ones. I have made a few tests. Check it out here.
