Assessment method
Every step is
accountable.
Diagnostic first
A required 5-question pre-test records the starting point without affecting the passing grade.
Instruction in order
Sections, knowledge checkpoints, and active study requirements must be completed before testing.
Graded assessment
Each unit uses 10 questions and requires 80%. Three unsuccessful attempts trigger instructor review.
Comprehensive final
A 30-question final covers all nine units and opens only after every unit passes and Jacob releases it.
Jacob reviews academic records, required instruction, documents, and behind-the-wheel hours before issuing any course-completion documentation.
