Directions for Taking the Exam
Please review the NOVA Online policies and procedures for the exams and the information in Canvas (Exams module) about taking the course exams.
Please do not let fear of the exams stop you from completing the course. If you have great difficulty getting to a Testing Center, or are concerned about taking exams, or are worried about something going wrong with Canvas while you are taking your exam, please contact your instructor. We will never penalize you, if there is a Canvas or computer crash while you are taking your exam.
Finally, you must pass the two exams in the course with a combined score of at least 150 points out of the possible 250. If you fail to achieve that score, then you will fail the course. You may not take a required midterm or final exam late.
You have 2 hours to complete the exam.
Famous quote, from Professor Evans, that you should remember: There are no multiple choice exams in life.
