Explain it in your own words
Use the answer as a check after you have written or spoken your response.
01What is the average time per total question?
About 64 seconds, because 90 minutes divided by 85 questions is about 1.06 minutes.
02How should domain counts affect study time?
Cover every domain, while giving extra retrieval sessions to high-count domains and repeated misses.
03Why should a correct guess still be reviewed?
The result does not show that the rule can be recalled again.
04What is a safe response when an exam scenario asks an RBT to design a new procedure?
Do not design it independently; follow the written plan and contact the supervisor.
05How can a timed mixed set be reviewed?
Tag each miss by domain and error type, repair the rule, then answer a parallel item without the answer visible.
