=Advice from a Student for taking MGT 3013 and MKT 3013 exams: =

To pass the test you need to read the book, and read it for comprehension. I found myself skimming through at times and I forced myself to go back and reread the passage I skimmed over. I would also recommend to complete the reading and take the test within the minimal time possible. The management book has 16 chapters. I "assigned" myself two chapters of reading a day for 8 days. Halfway through the program I reread the end of chapter summaries and the vocab words at the margins. Knowing the definition of the vocab is not enough, you have to understand the concept behind it. After I finished reading the book, the next day I did a full review of all the summaries, but I also made notes of key ideas that I went through and reread/partly skimmed over those again. I took the test the following day, and through actually reading the material and periodic review I was able to pass. I maintained the same procedures for the marketing exam. The book had 20 chapters and the font was a lot smaller so the reading seemed to take a lot longer. Instead of doing a review halfway through I reviewed after every third. Even though the management test had twice as many questions it did feel easier to me- but I did score the same on both tests. Marketing referenced some terms and ideas from the management book, as well as material covered in Communication and Business Communication. Most importantly- read the book. After that, compress the process into the smallest, yet effective, time possible and that should be the students' focus. I didn't do as well on some tests and assignments from my regular classes, but I can recover from those, and I now have 6 credit hours knocked out that I didn't have to sit in a classroom for.

=ENGLISH 1113 and 1213 =

Advanced Standing Examinations for English composition I and II are offered through the //Office of First Year Composition//. students must have 60 hours of transfer credit to be eligible to take either the 1113 or the 1213 exam. If the student is eligible to take the exam, they will be given a form for the Bursar in order to make a payment. The cost is 25.00/credit hour.

 The first-year composition office provides articles to prepare for the essay exam. Students must schedule a two-hour block of time to take the exam. They will need a blue book, their articles, something to write with, the Bursar form (both white and yellow copy), and their receipt of payment.

The exam is graded by two blind readers in our office. If need be the essay may go to a third blind reader to verify assessment.  Once it has been determined if the student has passed/failed, a memo is then sent to the Admissions office.  Finally, our office sends an email to the student informing them of the decision as well.
