RBT Assessment Practice Quizzes | 21.3% of Exam

Welcome to our Assessment practice quizzes for the RBT certification exam. The Assessment content area comprises 21.3% of the total exam (approximately 16 questions) and focuses on the crucial skills needed to assist with behavior analyst-led assessment procedures, conduct preference assessments, and collect data for functional behavior assessments.

As an RBT, you’ll be expected to implement various assessment procedures accurately, follow assessment protocols, and document observations with precision. These skills are fundamental to the development of effective behavior intervention plans and teaching strategies.

Welcome to your Assessment

During a functional behavior assessment, an RBT observes that a client engages in self-injurious behavior most frequently when presented with difficult tasks. This observation most strongly suggests which function of behavior?

When conducting a paired stimulus preference assessment, the RBT should:

In a multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) preference assessment, after the client selects an item, the RBT should:

When completing ABC data collection, what does the “C” represent?

An RBT notices that a client’s aggressive behavior typically results in staff providing attention. This observation most strongly suggests which function of behavior?

Which of the following assessments involves presenting a single stimulus and recording whether the client approaches or rejects it?

When assisting with a functional analysis, an RBT’s role is to:

During indirect functional assessment procedures, the RBT might be asked to:

An RBT observes that a client engages in hand-flapping primarily when alone and not engaged in activities. This pattern most strongly suggests which function?

When collecting scatter plot data, the RBT is primarily looking for:

During an ABC assessment, the RBT observes that a client’s tantrum behavior is consistently followed by being allowed to play with preferred toys. This observation most strongly suggests which function?

Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate method for identifying potential reinforcers for a non-verbal client?

When conducting a preference assessment, why is it important to allow brief access to the selected item?

An RBT notices that a client’s disruptive behavior typically occurs when peers receive attention from adults. This pattern most strongly suggests which function?

During a functional behavior assessment, data indicates that a client’s self-injurious behavior occurs across all settings and conditions with no clear antecedent pattern. This most strongly suggests:

Why the Assessment Section Is Critical for RBT Success?

The Assessment section tests your ability to:

  1. Conduct preference assessments using various methods
  2. Assist with functional assessment procedures including ABC data collection
  3. Identify the potential functions of behavior based on assessment data
  4. Support individualized assessment procedures as directed by a supervisor
  5. Document assessment findings accurately and objectively

Mastering these skills is essential because:

  • Assessment data directly informs intervention planning and drives clinical decision-making
  • Approximately 16 questions on your exam will test these assessment concepts
  • RBTs frequently conduct assessment procedures in their daily practice
  • Misinterpreting assessment data can lead to ineffective or counterproductive interventions

“The assessment section was particularly challenging for me until I understood the different preference assessment types and how to interpret ABC data properly. Once I mastered these concepts through targeted practice, I felt much more confident on the exam.” – Samantha K., Certified RBT
