SC Proctoring for Continuing Education

JEL has proctors throughout the state – In addition, we have proctors that travel the state periodically throughout the CE cycle. Our computer is set up to identify those students who have not completed the course so that they may be notified when a proctor is going to be in their area.

We make CE simple and easy

Identify The Intent Of The Question

Many questions will be situation questions whereby they are telling a story, thus supplying so much information that you lose track of what is being asked. This is often the case in story problems. Learn to separate the story from the question. For example:
3. Sam, age 40, is married and has one small son age 8. He is employed as a sales manager by P.K. Smith & Co., a sole proprietorship that owes much of its success to Sam’s efforts. He recently borrowed $50,000 from his brother-in-law, Tom, to finance a vacation home. Based on these facts, which of the following do(es) NOT have an insurable interest in Sam’s life?
A. His spouse
B. His employer
C. His brother-in-law
D. His customers

A clue to the answer is presented in the last sentence – who does not have an insurable interest?

Take the time to identify what the question is asking. Of course, your ability to do so assumes you have studied sufficiently. There is no method for correctly answering questions if you don’t know the material.

Interpret The Unfamiliar Question

Do not be surprised if some questions on the test seem unfamiliar at first. If you have studied your material, you will have the information to answer all the questions correctly. The challenge may be a matter of understanding what the question is asking.

Very often, questions present information indirectly. You may have to interpret the meaning of certain elements before you can answer.

Sometime by turning the question into four true and false style questions, this will help you determine the correct answer.

Pace Yourself

Some people will finish the exam early and some will not have time to finish all the questions. Watch the time carefully (your time remaining will be displayed on your computer screen) and pace yourself through the exam.

Do not waste time by dwelling on a question if you simply do not know the answer. Make the best guess you can, mark the question for review, and return to the question if time allows at the end. Be sure the mark every question before moving on – do not leave any blank. Make sure that you have time to read all the questions so that you can record the answers you do know.

Avoid Changing Answers

If you are unsure of an answer, your first hunch is the one most likely to be correct. Do not change answers on the exam without good, very good, reason. In general, change an answer only you:
· Discover that you did not read the question correctly
· Find new or additional helpful information in another question
