Assessment Task 2: Knowledge Test Student Instructions The Knowledge Test is comprised of 14 short answer questions and is administered by studEspace in the Tests and Tasks area of the Manage Project Scope Site. The questions are drawn from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) and from the Learning Program. For your result to be satisfactory for the Knowledge Test you must receive 16/20. All knowledge tests are untimed and are conducted as an open book revision exercise. It should be undertaken as an individual assessment with no student interaction or facilitator interaction. Once the time limit is exceeded, the Test will save and submit your answers – you need to be careful to complete the Test in the time given. It is strongly recommended, as these answers can be lengthy, that you type your answers into Word and then paste these into the Test. If you leave studEspace half way through a test it will time out or the connection could be lost and you will lose your work. This is a common problem mentioned by students. Feedback and Resubmission: You will receive your feedback within two weeks - you will be notified by your facilitator when results are available. You will need to go back into the Test to view any comments and a breakdown of marks received per question. Where students answers are deemed not satisfactory after the first attempt a resubmission may be requested. If a student has demonstrated consistent effort in the learning of a module then, at the facilitator’s professional discretion, the student may be awarded a resubmission. This resubmission must be made as soon after the initial assessment as possible. 36fdc909690f8ec95b7af8563de7cf98.docx Page 7 of 15
