Study Tips to Pass Your RBT Competency Assessment

The BCBA administering your RBT Competency Assessment will inform you ahead of time which materials you are required to bring, or documents to print out, for your meeting. 

Although the BCBA administering your assessment will not directly ask you to provide the definition of RBT Competency Assessment Task List items, you need to have a clear understanding of all the terms. What they will ask you is to provide an example, role-play and/or demonstration one or more terms within each Task List item.

We all feel anxious when preparing for an exam. Don't worry though, if you happen to not pass the RBT Competency Assessment the first time, you can repeat the portion you did not pass again, as many times as you need until you pass, for free!  

NOTE: This is a service only offered by ATCC - RBT Competency Assessment Package 

Task List Item #1 Continuous Measurement: Implement continuous measurement (e.g., frequency, duration, latency, IRT). 

Term: Frequency

Administration Type: Demonstration with Role-Play

1. BCBA asks RBT candidate to take frequency data on how many times she says the word 'flower' in a set time period. 

2. RBT candidate tallies the number of times 'flower' was said by the administering BCBA and provides a total number.  

3. BCBA may further ask the RBT candidate to find the rate if the frequency count was to occur across a 2 hour time period.

Frequency/ Time= Rate 

For example: 

If 'flower' was said 14 times over a 2 hour period, 14 (frequency) / 2 (time) = 7 times per hour (rate).

Task List Item #18 Professional Boundaries: Provide examples of how to maintain professional boundaries. 

Term: Professional Boundaries

Administration Type: Interview with Examples

1. BCBA asks RBT candidate to give examples of how they would maintain professional boundaries in their role as a RBT. 

2. RBT candidate response would be to list a few of the the following to avoid:

• Social or personal relationships with clients/caregivers
• Business relationships with clients/caregivers
• Babysitting for clients
• Giving and receiving gifts from clients/caregivers (any and all financial items or tangible items, including food)
