Psychometric Assessment Exam: Level 2 Ability

Final Course Exam: PAWL2A

Kindly note that because this is a test of your current competence, you will be given only ONE opportunity to take the assessment at the current time.

If you do not pass, you will need to wait at least 7 days (in order to have sufficient time to revise the course content) and pay a re-sit fee of US$99. We charge this fee, both for admin purposes, and to discourage students from taking the exam before they are ready. If you are confident that you are ready to proceed with the assessment, please feel free to do so, but note the only deadline for doing so is your ticket validity, so you do not need to sit this assessment prematurely.

Thank you for your understanding.

Final advice: Please do not use the back buttons on your browser and please stay inside the current tab. Do not switch back and forth between this tab and another. Tab switches are recorded by the system as they are suggestive of looking for the answers elsewhere – we are assessing your own knowledge and competence right now. We reserve the right to cancel certificates of those who switch tabs more than 2-3 times during the exam and to request that you resit.

The number of attempts remaining is 1
