• GRADING:
  All tests receive equal weight.
  

• PROCEDURE:
  1. Read the required text, The Church.
  2. After reading a section of the text, then click on the test below that corresponds with that section.
  3. Fill in your user name and your e-mail address according to the Testing Instructions Agreement form, then click on start and proceed with the test.  If you do not fill out the test information page with all of the required information, then the test will be discarded because there will be no way to know who submitted the test.
  4. SIGN-IN first for this course and mark the form "Begin" unless you have done so previously.  You do not sign in when you finish each lesson.  You only do so and mark the form "Finish" when you have completed the entire course and you are ready for the Final Test.
  5. Download and print the COURSE RECORD FORM.  On it you will keep a record of your sign in "Begin" date because you will be required to enter it on the Sign In "Finish" form that you will submit at the end of the entire course.  You will also keep other pertinent information on that form such as date and score for each test so that you will be able to keep track of your progress through the course.
  

• TESTING:  Make sure you read the Testing Instructions Agreement if you have not already done so.
  - Name entry on tests:  Students are required to use proper letter-case when inputting their names on all submissions to the college.  Example: If your name is John Smith, then input John Smith, not john smith or JOHN SMITH.  If you do not use proper letter-case when you input your name on a test, then the test will be Disallowed and discarded.
  ATTENTION: You MAY NOT take, or retake, more than one test on any one day in any one subject.  If you fail a test, you cannot retake it on the same day.  You must restudy the section involved, finding all of the correct answers in the textbook and then wait until at least the next day to repeat the test.
  

• SECTION TESTS:
  Take each of these tests after completing the corresponding section in your textbook.
  - RESULTS PAGE of tests:  Sometimes tests do not submit properly.  This can be due to a glitch in the test, a problem with your computer, or an Internet problem.  Therefore, students are required to save a copy of the Results Page of every test that they take.  This is necessary so that if a test does not submit properly the student will have a copy of the Results page to submit to us upon our request.  (Do NOT send it unless we request that you do so.)  The copy of the Results Page can then be placed in your academic file in lieu of the actual test.
      You can click HERE for instructions for saving a copy of the Results Page to your computer.  You may want to print out a copy of those instructions or else you can save an electronic copy to your computer.
  
  - NOTE: If the test does not open automatically, then refresh the page by pushing F5 or clicking the refresh button on your browser.
  - ATTENTION: The section tests may NOT be taken at less than one week (7 day) intervals and must be taken on or after the 7th day of that week.  Then study of the next section may be started on or after the day following the passing of the test.
  
  
  LESSON ONE TEST      LESSON TWO TEST      LESSON THREE TEST      LESSON FOUR TEST
  
  
  - NOTE:  If you had any wrong answers on any test, whether or not you received a passing grade, then you must restudy that section of the text and find all of the correct answers to the questions you missed on the test before proceeding to study the next section of the textbook.  You may use the copy of the test that was automatically mailed to you to make sure you have found the correct answers in the textbook.
  

• FINAL TEST:
  - Once you have completed all sections of the textbook and passed all of the corresponding tests, and found the correct answers to any questions missed on any test, then you may Retrieve the Password and, upon receiving the Password, take the Final Test for the course.
  - You are not eligible to take the Final Test if you have not met the minimum attendance requirement of 5 weeks
  - Once you pass the final test do not take it again.
  - If you fail the final test then you need to restudy both the textbook and all of the section tests and then retake the final test on or after the next day. Repeat this process until you pass the Final Test. However, you may not take or retake the Final Test, or any other test in this course, more than once on any one day.
