PRETEST AND POSTTEST WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS
1. On the first day of the course, the students will be given a pretest written examination.
The students shall place their answers on both the test paper proper and the answer sheet. The answer sheet shall be submitted to the facilitator right after the examination.
The student shall keep the test paper proper for future use especially in preparing for the posttest written examination at the end of the course.
1.1 The pretest answer sheets will be checked by the facilitator using right and wrong indicators only and these will be given back to the students at the latest on the
3rd day of the course. The answer key will not be shown to the students at this time. The students have to look for the correct answers on the wrong items.
1.2 At a set time agreed upon by both facilitator and students, anytime before the
posttest written examination, the students submit another answer sheet of the pretest. The answer sheets are corrected immediately right after submission and, thereafter, the answer key to the pretest is shown to the students to enable them to prepare for the posttest examination.
1.3 If a student gets a grade of 50% or more in the initial try at the pretest examination, he will be given a credit of 5 points in the posttest writen examination at the
end of the course.

of the course.
