Tips and tricks

✅ 1. Know Your Scope of Practice

• Tip: RBTs do not design behavior plans or make treatment decisions.
• Strategy: If a question suggests making a decision without BCBA approval, it’s probably wrong. Always choose the option that includes consulting the supervisor or BCBA.

✅ 2. Supervision Rules Are Strict

• Tip: RBTs must receive supervision for at least 5% of their direct service hours every month.
• Trick: If a question mentions avoiding, skipping, or delaying supervision, it’s incorrect.

✅ 3. When in Doubt, Set a Boundary

• Tip: Never accept gifts, attend personal events, or maintain contact with clients after services.
• Trick: The safest answer is usually the one that protects professional boundaries.

✅ 4. Feedback Is a Gift

• Tip: Supervisors give feedback regularly. You should apply it and ask questions if needed.
• Strategy: Choose answers that show openness and professionalism, not defensiveness.

✅ 5. Always Refer to the BCBA

• Tip: If a parent asks for changes or expresses concerns, never give advice or modify plans yourself.
• Trick: Pick the option that says “refer them to the BCBA” or “discuss with supervisor.”

✅ 6. Watch for Dual Relationships

• Tip: Any personal connection (e.g., babysitting, social media contact, parties) = dual relationship.
• Strategy: If it sounds too friendly or personal, it’s likely a violation.

✅ 7. Confidentiality is Key

• Tip: Share client information only with authorized team members.
• Trick: Avoid options that mention discussing clients with friends, peers, or on social media.

✅ 8. Learn from the Language

• Red Flags in Wrong Options:
  • “Offer personal advice”
  • “Change the plan”
  • “Skip supervision”
  • “Accept a gift”
  • “Do it without training”
  • “Keep working without reporting”
• Green Flags in Right Options:
  • “Refer to BCBA”
  • “Follow the behavior plan”
  • “Maintain professional boundaries”
  • “Communicate within guidelines”
  • “Apply supervisor feedback”

✅ 9. Practice with Purpose

• Tip: Don’t just read questions—analyze why the right answer is correct and why the others are not.
• Strategy: Make flashcards for each rule or concept you get wrong during practice.

✅ 10. Stay Calm and Logical

• Tip: These questions are designed to test ethics and judgment, not just memorization.
• Strategy: Imagine you’re on the job—what would a professional RBT do in that scenario?
