| Question: |
What do I need to do if I am registered with
Disability Services? |
| Answer: |
Disability Services will give you a paper to
give to your instructor. Arrangements will be made for you to take the exam at a
different time if you chose to do so. It is a good idea for you to talk to your
instructor about a week before the exam to remind him/her whether or not you wish to
take the exam in the Disability Services office. Some students choose to take the
exam with the rest of the class but we encourage you to take the exam in the Disability
Services office if you feel it will help you give us an accurate assessment of your
knowledge and ability. |

| Question: |
If I finish the test early, can I leave? |
| Answer: |
Yes, you can leave after you turn in the exam
to your instructor. Do NOT give your exam to anyone else. |

|
| Question: |
What do I do if I forget my calculator or my
batteries die during the exam? |
| Answer: |
If your instructor has an extra calculator
you can ask your instructor to borrow it. Otherwise, you will have to take the exam
without a calculator. You can NOT share a calculator with your neighbor during the
test. Many of the calculators will give you a warning when the batteries are getting
low. If you get this warning you should change your batteries before the test. If
you get this warning in the middle of the test you should have enough batteries left
to finish the test. It is a good idea to change your batteries at the beginning of
each semester (or at least have a spare set handy). |

| Question: |
If I forget how to do something during
an exam can I ask the instructor for help? |
| Answer: |
No, the purpose of an exam is to see how much
you know (not how much the instructor knows). The time for explanations is before
the exam starts. The instructor will not be able to give you hints, suggestions
or tell you if you're on the "right track" or not. However, if you do not understand
what a problem is asking the instructor can reword the problem for you (without
hints). |

|
| Question: |
Will the instructor be able to help me if I
have trouble with my calculator during the exam? |
| Answer: |
Yes and no. If you ask the instructor a
common question or have a problem that the instructor discussed in class and
explained what to do to correct it then, no, the instructor will not help you with
that problem. If you have an uncommon question or have a problems that was not
addressed in class then the instructor will help you. |
