A+||BRAND NEW VERSION!!
1. During a session, a client begins throwing materials after you tell them it's time
for a new task. What is the MOST appropriate action for the RBT to take?
A. Stop the session and call the BCBA immediately
B. Remove yourself from the room
C. Follow the behavior plan steps for problem behavior
D. Give the client a break every time they throw items
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
An RBT must implement the behavior intervention plan exactly as written. If
problem behavior occurs, follow the specified procedures (e.g., blocking,
planned ignoring, redirection, differential reinforcement).
• A: Call the BCBA only for unexpected or dangerous events; problem
behavior covered in the plan should be handled by the RBT.
• B: Leaving the room without direction can reinforce behavior or create
unsafe situations.
• D: Giving a break following throwing may reinforce escape-maintained
behavior.
2. You are running discrete-trial instruction. The client gives the correct response
but very slowly. The treatment plan says “reinforce correct responses within 5
seconds.” The correct response came at 8 seconds. What should you do?

, RBT EXAM NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM
A. Reinforce because the response was correct
B. Do not reinforce and rewind the trial
C. End the program and ask the BCBA for new timing guidelines
D. Ignore the timing rule because each child is different
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
If the plan includes response latency criteria, reinforcement should only occur
when the behavior meets those criteria.
• A: Reinforcing late responses weakens prompt independence and timing
skills.
• C: You only contact the BCBA if the guideline consistently fails, not during
individual trials.
• D: RBTs must follow written procedures, not improvise.
3. A parent asks you, “Can you work on toilet training today? We really need help.”
But this is NOT in the current treatment plan. What should you do?
A. Agree and begin toilet training immediately
B. Politely explain that only the BCBA can add goals
C. Tell the parent they are not allowed to ask questions about treatment
D. Add toilet training as long as you document it
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Only the supervisor can add or remove goals from a plan.
• A & D: RBTs cannot independently add goals.
• C: Parents are encouraged to communicate; the RBT should respond
appropriately.

4. A client engages in aggression during transitions. The plan requires you to
deliver a visual countdown. You forget to give it, and aggression occurs. What is
the correct next step?
A. Do nothing because mistakes happen
B. Document the error and tell the BCBA
C. Pretend you delivered the countdown
D. Create a new transition strategy on your own
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
RBTs must document treatment integrity errors and notify the supervisor so the
plan can be adjusted or retraining provided.
• A: Errors affect data.
• C: Dishonesty violates the BACB Ethics Code.
• D: RBTs cannot independently change interventions.
5. While implementing a token economy, the client earns 5 tokens. The parent
says, “Just give him the prize now; he had a rough day.” What should you do?
A. Follow the parent’s instruction immediately
B. Follow the behavior plan as written
C. End the token program permanently
D. Give extra tokens so both the plan and parent request are met
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Treatment integrity requires consistent implementation. Deviating from
reinforcement schedules undermines progress.
• A & D: Changing reinforcement schedules without BCBA approval is not
permitted.

• C: Only the BCBA can discontinue procedures.
6. A BCBA asks you to collect ABC data. Which situation BEST represents this?
A. Recording the number of tantrums in a session
B. Writing antecedent, behavior, and consequence after a problem behavior
C. Graphing behavior in real time
D. Recording every correct response in a teaching program
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
ABC data specifically captures what happened before, the behavior itself, and
what followed.
A, C, and D represent other data types (frequency, graphing, skill acquisition).
7. You’re taking frequency data but miss one instance because you were helping
block aggression. What should you do?
A. Estimate what you think the count should be
B. Leave the missed instance unrecorded and note the interruption
C. Start the entire session over
D. Ask the parent to help recall the missed behavior
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Data must reflect what was observed, not estimates. Document disruptions.
• A: Guessing invalidates data.
• C: Restarting isn’t required.
• D: Parents are not trained observers for session data.
