Testing

Students must spend the minimum required time recommended for the review of each standard as indicated in the course. At the end of the course students will be given a completion exercise to test their understanding of the course content.

After completing the exercise, if the student wishes to re-take any questions set, the question sub-set may be retaken to improve the score. However, only one re-test is permitted. Therefore, all re-testing in all related question sets must be accomplished in a single re-test session.
