Final Exams
Our Final Exams
Every one of our online courses includes (at no extra charge) an optional Final Exam, which allows you to test what you’ve learned. However, if you would like to receive a certificate of completion for our two most intellectually challenging courses (ADVANCED Training in Conflict Management and the Critical Thinking Course) or if you want to receive CERTIFICATION for a course collection (either The Complete Program or The TKI Package), you are then required to pass the Final Exam(s).
If you make a group purchase of an online course (or a course collection), each Final Exam gives you the option of ensuring that your group members learn all the material that you purchased for them—if you decide to require them to show their mastery by passing the Final Exam(s). But we will only notify you when a group member successfully completes a Final Exam.
Exam Instructions
Select one of the (A) to (E) responses for each of the 25 items in this Final Exam. Each correct answer counts 4 points. You’ll need to receive at least 88 out of a possible 100 points in order to show mastery of the course material.
Only one exam item will appear on each page. You can change your response to an item as many times as you like. When you are satisfied with your selection for an item, click on the “Next” button on the bottom right of the question. Each item on the exam has one correct answer and you must choose one selection before you can move on to the next item on the exam.
After you click “Finish Final Exam,” you will be forwarded to another page where you’ll receive your results for the exam, including a listing of which items had the incorrect selection. If you didn’t receive a passing grade, you can review the course materials and then take the exam again. In fact, you can take the exam a total of five times, which gives you ample opportunity to learn the key principles and practices of this course. NOTE: If you don’t pass the exam on any occasion, you are the only one who receives the results. We get notified only when you receive an 88 or more points and thus have passed the Final Exam.

Below is one question from each of our online Final Exams, so you can get a good idea of what to expect. Every Final Exam consists of 25 such questions.
