  1. An RBT notices that a BCBA's behavior intervention plan includes a procedure the RBT believes may be harmful. The RBT's first step should be to:

    Answer: Discuss the concern with the supervising BCBA immediately

    RBTs should raise clinical or ethical concerns with their supervisor before taking other actions, following the appropriate chain of communication.

  2. According to the RBT Task List 2nd Edition, which of the following is within the scope of practice of an RBT?

    Answer: Implementing behavior intervention plans under BCBA supervision

    RBTs implement programs and procedures designed by BCBAs; they do not independently design interventions, conduct FBAs, or diagnose.

  3. An RBT is required to receive supervised contact from a BCBA for at least what percentage of hours worked each month?

    Answer: 5%

    The BACB requires RBTs to receive at least 5% of hours worked in monthly supervision, with at least one session being individual (face-to-face or telehealth).

  4. When graphing behavioral data, the vertical axis (y-axis) typically represents:

    Answer: The dimension of behavior being measured (e.g., frequency, percentage)

    The y-axis displays the measured dimension of behavior (dependent variable), while the x-axis represents time (sessions, dates).

  5. An RBT should document session data:

    Answer: Immediately after each session or as close to real time as possible

    Contemporaneous data recording—documenting as events occur or immediately after—ensures accuracy and reduces memory errors.

  6. Which of the following best describes 'procedural fidelity' (also called treatment integrity)?

    Answer: The degree to which an intervention is implemented as designed

    Procedural fidelity measures whether the intervention is being carried out exactly as specified in the behavior plan.

  7. A client's parent asks the RBT to share the client's progress reports with the client's teacher without the BCBA's knowledge. The RBT should:

    Answer: Decline and explain that information sharing must go through the appropriate channels with BCBA involvement

    RBTs must protect client confidentiality and handle information sharing through proper channels, involving the supervising BCBA.
