MPE V to MPE XL Getting Started: Mentor's Guide

Preparing the Tests 

Each of the final exams in appendix A represents the skills taught in one
chapter of the student book, starting with chapter 2.  The mentor will
administer tests to each student for only those chapters that the student
needs.

The mentor should read pages 1-2 and 1-3 of
...Getting Started to know which chapters each student should study.
This is particularly important if the student will be taking one of the
classroom courses listed on page 2 of the preface in the student book.
Test questions reflect the skills that the student will be expected to
master before coming to the classroom course.

Mentors may decide to administer the tests before the student begins
...Getting Started if they feel that this will help the student know what
to expect from the course.  Pre-test and post-test results can later be
compared to show exactly how much the student has learned.  If a test is
given as a pre-test, the student should be told that he/she is not
expected to answer questions correctly, that the test is merely being
used to set expectations of the training.

The tests are meant to be closed-book tests, taken without access to
books or to the computer.  Any post-test questions missed should be
discussed afterwards with individual students to ensure that they learn
from those mistakes.  The goal is for students to master the skills, not
to get a good grade.
