The Practice Test: After all the module homework is completed, you take your date stamped Study Guide to the Reception Counter and check-in for a Module Practice Test. This test is just like the graded test but does not count in grading. You should perform above the 80% level on this before taking a Graded Module Test. You can retake practice tests if necessary. Practice tests are only available for students that have completed all of the module’s homework before testing.
The Graded Module Test: Following success on the practice test you check-in for the Graded Module Test. You need at least an 80% score before continuing on to the next module. Present your date stamped Study Guide at the Reception Counter to check in for the Graded Module Test. Practice and graded tests cannot be taken on the same day.
Challenging a Module Test: Occasionally, material in a module is very familiar and it might be appropriate to take the Graded Module Test without completing all the module homework. We recommend that you check your skill level by working the chapter pretest and the end of chapter test found in the textbook. If you score very high on these then it might be appropriate for you to challenge the module test. Discuss this possibility with a tutor and then present your Study Guide at the Reception Counter and indicate that you wish to challenge the test. You can continue on to the next module if you score 80% or better on the Graded Module Test. However, if you score below 80% you must complete all the assigned homework and receive a tutor’s date stamps before being permitted to retest or continue on to the next module. Neither Practice Module Testsnor bonus points are available if you challenge a module test.
Bonus Points: If all your module homework has received date stamps prior to taking a Graded Module Test for the first time, you will receive two bonus points if your test score is 80% or better. If you are “on schedule” with the suggested pacing and you receive a test score of 80% or better you will receive an additional two bonus points. In other words, by having your homework completed and staying on schedule you can earn four bonus points on a graded test.
Reworks, Retesting, Conferences: If you receive a Graded Module Test score less than 80% you must retest. To learn material where you made errors we encourage you to do a Rework before retesting. A Rework and Test Conference with a tutor is required if you score less than 70%. Reworks and Conferences are optional if your score is 70% or better.
Reworks do not change your Graded Module Testscore but give you an opportunity to rework test questions you missed to try to catch your errors. Following a Rework you can meet with a tutor for a Test Conference to go over questions you still do not understand. At this Conference the tutor will suggest a course of action for you to prepare for Retesting.
You can take a Graded Module Test up to 3 times to reach the 80% success rate. All graded test scores are averaged (count towards your grade). For this reason we encourage you to take practice tests which do not affect your grade before taking graded tests. If you still have not obtained a score of 80% or better after 3 tries, you receive a score that is the average of the scores and we allow you to continue on to the next module.
