How it works

Watch, run the plan, take data, report.

That is the job, and it is the exam. An RBT implements what a BCBA designs — so every question here is written from where you actually stand.

Watch

Read the procedure

Cooper page-cited notes across all six content areas.

Run the plan

Implement it

Items about implementing with fidelity — not designing.

Take data

Record it

Measurement and graphing is 17% of the exam. It is 17% of the bank.

Report

Know when to escalate

Axon explains the answer and where the supervisor comes in.

Exam day

Walk in ready

85 questions, and you have seen every shape of them.

Run the plan → take data → report runs on repeat until all six areas are exam-ready.
The old way
  • A free mock site that gives you a score and teaches you nothing.
  • A rationale that restates the answer instead of naming the trap.
  • Material written to the 2nd-edition Task List, retired in January 2026.
The SynkMind way
  • 3,113 board-style questions weighted to the real blueprint.
  • Axon explains the answer and where the supervisor comes in.
  • Custom practice exams on demand — drill any weak domain.
  • Daily review returns the procedure before it slips.
The course

Six content areas. You can see all of them from here.

Read the procedure, run the items, take the data. Small enough that the whole outline fits in your head — which is the point of an 85-question exam.

Page-cited to Cooper

Every note is page-cited to Cooper (3rd ed.) — no vague summaries, nothing an AI invented.

Weighted to the 3rd edition

Behavior Acquisition and Behavior Reduction carry 44% of the scored items between them — the bank is weighted to match, not spread evenly.

The weak area finds you

Mastery across all six areas at once — small enough that you can see the whole thing and know when you are done.

The exam blueprint

Six content areas, new since January 2026.

The BACB replaced the RBT Task List with the RBT Test Content Outline, 3rd edition, on 1 January 2026. It is an 85-question exam — 75 scored plus 10 unscored pilot items — covering 43 tasks across 6 content areas. Behavior Acquisition is the largest at a quarter of the exam; Ethics is weighted more heavily than most candidates expect.

How it compares

A free mock tells you the score. It does not teach you anything.

There is no shortage of free RBT practice tests, and they all stop at the number. SynkMind is the part that comes after: why the answer was wrong, when to see it again, and whether you are actually ready. 3,113 questions, RBT-specific lectures, and an AI that explains every item — in one purchase.
