Entrance Exam

If you enroll in a course that requires an entrance exam, the course will appear on your dashboard. However, you will not be able to access all released course content until you pass the entrance exam.

Note: Course teams may allow certain learners to skip the entrance exam. If you are granted this exception, you will gain access to all released course content without taking the exam.

If you are required to take the entrance exam, the first time you access the course, it will open to the Entrance Exam page. At the top of this page, a message will display your current score and the minimum score required to pass. You can begin the exam immediately.

To Take the Entrance Exam:

  1. Answer all the questions in the exam.
  2. Select Submit to submit your answers.
  3. Refresh the page to view your score.
    • If you have passed, the message at the top of the page will confirm your success.
    • If you refresh the page before completing all questions, the message will display your current score.

After passing the entrance exam, the course navigation pane will display all currently available sections, and you will be able to access all released course materials.
