EXAM OVERVIEW
The RBC 2 Test covers California criminal law, including crimes against persons, property
crimes, inchoate crimes, and related legal concepts. The questions below are actual
examples from recent RBC 2 examinations .
SECTION 1: BATTERY & ASSAULT
Question 1
Two men argued over the final results of the football game. The first man didn't think
his friend knew what he was talking about and spit at him; the spittle landed on his
friend's shirt. What crime, if any, occurred?
Answer: The first man has committed the crime of battery because he made contact
even though he caused no harm. - Misdemeanor
Rationale: Battery (PC 242) requires willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon
another person. Actual physical contact is required. The spittle landing on the victim's
shirt constitutes contact with an item closely associated with the victim's person. No
injury is required for battery to occur .
, Question 2
A woman walked into the local bar and saw her boyfriend with another woman. She
went to the table and hit him on the head. He fell off his barstool, struck his head on the
floor and was knocked unconscious. What crime, if any, occurred?
Answer: Battery causing/inflicting serious bodily injury - Felony
Rationale: When a battery results in serious bodily injury (loss of consciousness, bone
fracture, concussion, protracted loss of function, extensive suturing, or serious
disfigurement), the offense is a felony under PC 243(d). Unconsciousness meets the
definition of serious bodily injury .
Question 3
Two men were arguing during a baseball game. One man picked up a baseball bat and
swung at the other man. The second man ducked to avoid being hit on the head. The
first man only committed assault because he did not actually hit the second man.
True/False?
Answer: False - assault with a deadly weapon because he attempted to cause harm by
using the bat as a weapon (BGI only needs to be likely)
Rationale: Assault with a deadly weapon (PC 245) requires an unlawful attempt and
present ability to commit violent injury upon another by use of a deadly weapon or
force likely to produce great bodily injury. The bat is a deadly weapon; actual contact is
NOT required. The test is whether great bodily injury was likely, not whether it actually
occurred .
Question 4
During a bar fight, a man stabbed another man in the arm with a knife. The first man has
committed the crime of assault with a deadly weapon. True/False?
Answer: True
