Optional Training:

 
In addition to the training material that comes with your examination fee, Stetson University subscribes to an on-line training site called Atomic Learning. Follow this link to a list of training tutorials that support the topics covered in the exemption exams. They are first grouped by software application: Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Access. Under each group, there are logical groupings of topics. Each tutorial area will then give a very specific link or Key #. The training video will last usually 1-3 minutes. You can look at as many items as you wish and concentrate on the areas that you are unfamiliar with. If it asks you to login, the userid should be stetson and the password is hatters.

The fee for the exam and all relevant support material is $93 if purchased online and $105 if purchased in the Stetson bookstore.

Tips for Taking the Exam:

1. Each exam will first give you some general instructions, e.g. you get 3 attempts to answer each question. For grading purposes, it doesn't matter if you answer it on the first attempt or the 3rd attempt.
2. You can see some of your options on the screenshot below:

• A shows you what you should do to complete the question. While they have a large library of possible ways to do each question, they do not have all ways. If your way doesn't work, try another one. Be very careful about typing. Use the same spelling, capitalization and punctuation. If it is in quotes, ignore the quotes - they are just trying to isolate the words that you must type.
• B shows you all of the questions and you can jump around within the test.
• C shows the previous and next buttons that you can use to skip questions and go back.
• D shows the attempts remaining on each question. It will decrease each time you erroneously answer the question - be careful how quickly you move the mouse around, etc.
• E shows where you should properly exit the test to close it down and save your score.

Note: Your exam score will not display on exam completion.  When you are done with the exam, it will not show you your score. You must have at least a 70% pass rate on each exam. You will be notified in a timely manner on whether you have passed the exam and completed the proficiency requirement.
