Why do I keep choosing answers that seem right?
Because they usually are right, as practice. The exam asks what comes first, which is a narrower question. Once you are consciously applying an ordering framework, safety then assessment then intervention, the choice between defensible options stops feeling arbitrary.
This comes up on ASWB Retake Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
