The Amc Handbook Of Multiple Choice Questions
Ena Marklund
The multiple choice and true/false questions presented here function as a supplementary aid to AF Handbook 1 (AFH 1), serving as a point of reference and resource for ongoing professional development for Total Force Airmen. The subsequent information does not mirror the exact questions that may emerge in any enlisted promotion examination. The provided questions in this context were not formulated in collaboration with, nor do they possess awareness of, any promotion test content or its formulation process. The multiple choice and true/false questions in this section represent a sample of the content featured in the corresponding chapter of AF Handbook 1. The questions are found on the myLearning website.
For the purposes of this exam, weighing is limited to weighing devices (scales) covered in the Scales Code in Handbook 44 . This may include platform scales, vehicle and axle-load scales, hopper scales, animal and livestock scales, and other types used in various applications.
The examination consists of two timed sections and will include a total of 30 questions as described below. The two sections of the exam must be completed in one session and the candidate may not log off and return to the exam at a later time. Each section must be completed before moving to the next section of the exam. Once a section has been completed, the individual may not return to a previously submitted section.
The exam is OPEN BOOK. The candidate may access an unmarked copy of Handbook 44 while taking the exam. You may be asked to perform computations as part of the exam and may use a hand-held calculator. The time counter will continue to run while accessing Handbook 44 or performing calculations. The examination is to be taken alone, without assistance from any other individual.
Test instructions are provided online prior to starting the exam. Since the test is electronically graded, the answer must be marked or typed correctly. The test questions will be multiple-choice or short answer. For multiple-choice questions, you will be asked to pick the best answer from four options by clicking the button before your selected answer. For short answer questions, you must enter the specific answer, typed correctly. There is a short practice test to familiarize you with the exam environment and ensure that these basic rules for responses are understood.
1. Module 7.1 Basic Competency - Handbook 44 10 questions (15 minute time limit)
These questions test for knowledge, understanding, and ability to apply the basic requirements applicable to all weighing and measuring devices. This may include questions on the selection, care and use of standards, the legal basis of Handbook 44, the organization of that handbook, understanding of Fundamental Considerations, knowledge of systems of measurement units, understanding and application of General Code requirements, and understanding of NTEP and Certificates of Conformance.

Once you meet all applicable eligibility requirements, submit a certification application, and receive an approved determination, you must take and pass a BACB certification examination. You will schedule and pay for this examination through your Pearson VUE account.
BACB examinations are composed of multiple-choice questions. Each question has 4 possible answers and only 1 correct answer. Candidates have a specified amount of time to complete the examination. The details of each examination are as follows:
Please refer to the Examination section of the RBT Handbook for comprehensive information about our certification examination, including preparation for the examination, policies and rules, and what to expect after passing the examination.
You will be notified of your results at the testing site as soon as you complete the examination. The BACB will confirm your results via email, and they will appear in your BACB account within approximately one week of completing the examination.
Please refer to the Examination section of the BCaBA Handbook for comprehensive information about our certification examination, including preparation for the examination, policies and rules, and what to expect after passing the examination.
Any appointment canceled or rescheduled within 30 days of the examination date will be subject to a fee. Appointments canceled or rescheduled 30 or more days prior to an examination appointment will not incur a fee.
Please refer to the Examination section of the BCBA Handbook for comprehensive information about our certification examination, including preparation for the examination, policies and rules, and what to expect after passing the examination.
The BACB uses the modified Angoff method for establishing the passing score for each base examination form. New base examination forms are created approximately every five years or whenever there is a significant change to the examination content, such as the introduction of a new task list. The BACB maintains a large pool of questions that can be used to generate many different forms of the examination that are equated to the base examination.
The modified Angoff method is criterion referenced, meaning that the passing score for each base examination is established by a panel of BACB-certified subject matter experts and then approved by the BACB Board of Directors. Your performance on the examination is not dependent on the performance of those taking the examination with you.
The BACB maintains a large pool of questions that can be used to generate many different forms of each examination. For security reasons, the examination forms are updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, multiple forms of the examinations are in use during each testing period, and candidates are randomly assigned to these forms.
The BACB uses statistical data on how each question performs to evaluate the difficulty of each examination form. The examinations are carefully constructed in order to minimize variations in difficulty from one form to another. However, it is possible to have slight variations in difficulty based on the particular combination of questions that are selected for each examination form. This is taken into account when the passing scores are set, so it does not matter which examination form each candidate takes.
Every BACB examination undergoes psychometric statistical equating to assure that scores on different forms are adjusted for any difference in the levels of difficulty. Therefore, the actual number of correct answers required to pass each examination may vary depending on the form and level of difficulty of that examination. Thus, because the passing score may vary from one examination to another, the raw number of questions answered correctly is not reported.
Passing candidates only receive notice that they have passed the examination; no additional report is provided. Failing candidates are provided with reports regarding their performance. For the BCBA and BCaBA examinations, the report includes the percentage of questions answered correctly and total number of questions within each of the primary examination content areas. For RBT examinations, the report provides a list of the RBT tasks for which the candidate answered items incorrectly. This information is provided solely for the purpose of guiding future study efforts.
The use of scaled scores allows us to directly compare scores from one examination form to another because the passing standard will always be the same. In the long run, this process will make the scoring of the examination easier to understand for all concerned.
The scales used on the BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT examinations are similar to scales used by other large testing programs, such as the SAT, ACT, or GRE. The scales have more points than there are questions on the examination.
The use of scaled scores does not affect whether an individual candidate passes or fails the examination. The pass/fail decision is always made by comparing the number of questions answered correctly to the passing score that was established using the criterion-referenced process. The passing score is then mathematically transformed to a scaled score for each examination form. All candidates who correctly answer more items than are required to pass the examination form that they took will obtain scaled scores that are between the scaled passing score and the top of the scale . Candidates who did not answer enough items to pass will obtain scaled scores between 0 and just under the scaled passing score. Scaled scores will be detailed on individual score reports. Scaling does not affect the rank ordering of candidates. A candidate who answers more questions correctly than another candidate taking the same examination form will always obtain a higher scaled score.
Unfortunately, no. The BACB will not report the number of questions answered correctly or the overall percentage of questions answered correctly. However, failing candidates will be provided with examination reports as described above. This information is provided to assist failing candidates with targeting areas for further study.
