Although the questions in the test look much like questions in the course, it is

important to realize that they serve a different function - that of assessing your

assimilation of material covered in the course. For this reason, questions in the

test are more strictly judged than questions in the course. You will not have the

option to skip questions (ie the Cancel button will not be active) and you will not

normally have a second chance to attempt a question after feedback has been

given.

At the end of the test you will be given your results, and it will be indicated to

you which units of the course you need to review, if any.

It is especially important to type answers carefully in the test. The test is not

designed to accept as wide a range of spelling errors as the course.

Your score is electronically recorded via the CMI (computer managed

instruction) system. If you take the course test, and subsequently take individual

unit tests, your score in the unit test will over-ride your score in the same units in

the course test. If you take the course test again, your latest course-test score will

over-ride any other tests you may have taken earlier.

Your test score is accessible to the course administrator and you can also check it

yourself at any point from the main menu screen. Simply click on the Progress

button (or press Alt+ p) at the foot of the main menu screen.
