TRAQ PRACTICE EXAM| COMPREHENSIVE Q&A FOR
CERTIFICATION SUCCESS
Are trees that are like to fail always obvious? -correct-answer-No, healthy trees
can conceal decay or structural defects
Can trees in poor health be structurally stable? -correct-answer-Yes, tree can live
their entire lives in poor health while drought and decay may not impact
immediately
The process of identifying trees, assessing them for risk, determining and applying
mitigation options and maintaining an ongoing monitoring system is referred to as
-correct-answer-tree risk management
It is impossible to maintain trees free of risk because -correct-answer-trees are
living organisms and naturally lose branches or fall
Because tree risk assessors may perform risk assessments with limited
information about tree and site conditions the assessment is -correct-answer-
founded on observations, experience and training
, 2|Page
the scope of work should clarify -correct-answer-any property boundaries,
permitting requirements, to who the final report is to be submitted to
Standard of care is measured by using -correct-answer-the BMP, applicable
industry standards, and training courses
A reasonable method to quickly assess immediate risks in a large population of
trees is -correct-answer-level 1 limited visual; drive by
Tools used for a Level 2 Basic assessment -correct-answer-diameter tape, trowel,
mallet,
When is a Level 2 basic assessment recommended? -correct-answer-part of a tree
management plan, part of a tree inventory, 360 degree inspection of canopy,
