 You should know what you are measuring during the session and have the materials required to measure
those responses before session starts
 Before starting you should conduct a functional behavioral assessment and a full preference assessment

19.  You work with a client three hours per day. During those hours, your client consistently

Full practice exams, RBT task list study guide, and flashcards available below

 “We changed her reinforcement schedule from a FR5 to a VR3 today”

 “We probed out handwashing today. The BCBA will analyze the task and create a task chain to implement
the following session”
 “The client’s behavior was really bad today. The BCBAs plan isn’t working”
 “Today we worked on brushing her teeth. She successful applied the toothpaste and brushed by herself
for 30 seconds”
