Week 9

EXAM III
In this exam, you will be watching audio-visual files and giving answers based on what you hear. The exam has 45 questions, and is designed to be completed in 45 minutes, and Blackboard will keep track of how much time you spend working on the exam. After 45 minutes have passed, you will still be able to submit answers, but five points (out of 100) will be deducted from the final exam grade for each minute you spend working beyond the 45 minute limit.

NOTE: THIS EXAM MUST BE TAKEN IN THE FCC TESTING CENTER OR ANOTHER CERTIFIED TESTING FACILITY. IF YOU HAVE NOT CALLED THE TESTING CENTER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE TEST, PLEASE DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND CONTACT ME WITH ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS.
