Hey, good people. Here’s what’s up – try not to sweat too much how many of these questions you get
right. If you’re getting a little more than half right for each competency, for example, that’s probably
good. Just read the questions, get used to “seeing” the course concepts through the vehicle of
multiple choice questions. Get comfortable looking at the course like this. It’s helpful. All of
the questions are first; all of the answers are at the bottom. If you have a “why is this the right
answer to this question” question, shoot it to Strongly consider working with a
course instructor, see what types of “working sessions” they might offer. Working with a course
instructor to discuss the questions/answers from your Pre-Assessment coaching report is probably an
efficient step you can take to ready for this course.
