CPT Risk Assessment & Mitigation 2

Question 1

A tutor notices a student becomes extremely anxious during timed practice tests. Which mitigation strategy addresses this risk most directly?

Accepted Answer

Gradually introduce time constraints starting with generous limits

Answer

Gradually desensitizing a student to time pressure is an evidence-based approach to mitigating test anxiety without removing assessment entirely.

Question 2

When a student discloses that they are being bullied at school, a private tutor's primary obligation is to:

Accepted Answer

Report the information to a mandated reporter if harm is suspected

Answer

While tutors may not always be mandated reporters themselves, potential harm to a minor requires escalation to appropriate parties such as parents or school counselors.

Question 3

Which of the following is the BEST way to mitigate the risk of scope creep in a tutoring engagement?

Accepted Answer

Define subject scope and session objectives in a written contract

Answer

A written contract with defined scope prevents misunderstandings and protects both tutor and client when expectations expand beyond the original agreement.

Question 4

A parent insists their child should advance to the next level immediately despite clear readiness gaps. The risk-aware tutor should:

Accepted Answer

Document the readiness assessment and explain risks of premature advancement in writing

Answer

Documenting the assessment and communicating risks in writing protects the tutor professionally while giving the parent informed decision-making power.

Question 5

Which scenario represents a CONFLICT OF INTEREST risk for a private tutor?

Accepted Answer

Tutoring a student while also grading their official school exams

Answer

Serving as both tutor and official evaluator for the same student creates a conflict of interest that can compromise objectivity and professional integrity.
