RBT Exam Rate Analysis 2025

RBT® Exam Pass Rates: What the Data Actually Show


Every year, the BACB® publishes first-time RBT examination pass rates for 40-hour training providers. The numbers are public — but buried in a PDF.
This dashboard pulls the 2024 and 2025 data into an interactive format so you can explore pass rates, candidate volume, year-over-year trends, and the full provider breakdown in one place.

The variance is striking. In 2025, pass rates ranged from 8% to 100% across 50 providers — with over 71,000 first-time candidates sitting for the exam. Some providers improved dramatically year over year. Others declined sharply. Volume alone doesn’t predict outcomes.

If you’re choosing an RBT training program, supervising RBTs, or running one of these programs yourself — this data is worth knowing.
