your starting level of knowledge on the course material.
This is called the Skill Assessment. The Skill Assessment
is a test composed of thirty randomly selected course
questions. When completed, a summary of Skill Assessment
scores by Unit is displayed. You can link from the scores
page to any Unit. To begin the pre-test, choose TAKE
THE SKILL ASSESSMENT upon entering the course.

SKILL ASSESSMENT POST-TEST |

At
any time during the course, you can choose to take a
Skill Assessment. If you took the Skill Assessment before
you started the course, this second test is considered
a Post–Test. As with the pre-test, it is also
composed of thirty randomly selected course questions.
Once you have completed the post-test you will see a
summary of your scores by unit. You can then return
to those areas to improve your performance. The system
will track your first attempt (pre-test) and your best
attempt (post-test). To access the post-test, choose
