The purpose of the post-test is to assess your knowledge and verify your understanding of the topic’s concepts. However, the purpose of the module is for your educational benefit. Therefore, you are allowed to take the post-test twice, if needed. If after taking the post-test the first time and you are not satisfied with your score, you may go back to review those sections in the module where you missed questions. You may then take the post-test a second time. When students elect to retake their post-test, our system will automatically record and report their highest score achieved. 

If you need to step away for a moment, you may click the button “Record Answer & Take a Break.” This will provide you with a timed 15-minute break. Your exam will resume automatically after the 15 minutes is over.

You may leave and access the module at your discretion. However, please refer to the previous question in regard to leaving the exam.

You will be able to access both the pre and post-test three times each (meaning that you may log into and out of the test three times before the system locks you out of the test, the accesses include your initial login) and 48 hours from the time you begin each exam to complete it. Please be sure to check your course syllabus for any deadlines your instructor may impose.. If you do not complete the pre-test or post-test within the three accesses allowed, a completion certificate will be generated assigning zero points to unanswered questions.

Please submit a support ticket if you need the pre-test or post-test reset due to extenuating circumstances or technical difficulties.

There are 50 questions in each pre-test and post-test.

You are generally allowed 5 minutes to answer each question, some universities customize this to allow more or less. You will see the time remaining on the screen for each question during the exam. If you do not submit an answer with the allotted time frame the system will record the answer as a zero and you will automatically moved to the next question. 

No, you may not “back track” or go back to a previous question to answer or change your answer. All questions must be answered in the order and the allotted time given. Unanswered questions will be graded as zero points.
