Volunteers Needed for Sample Exam!

Admissions Volunteers Needed

The Admissions Department is looking for volunteers to help write the new Sample Exam.

General Information:
The new Sample Exam will consist of approximately 58 questions reflective of content from each exam (MAS I, MAS-II, 5, 6C, 6I, 6U, 7, 8, and 9) and the specific item types used on each exam. All item types will be included in the Sample Exam. The existing Sample Exam has examples of each item type: 

  • Multiple Choice – Single Select
  • Multiple Choice – Multiple Select
  • Point & Click
  • Fill in the Blank

Description of Work Needed:

Volunteers are needed with varying areas of subject matter expertise for this effort. A Writers’ Training will take place online in early July, with asynchronous writing work to occur immediately afterwards. Group review sessions will go through early August, and it is predicted that the total time commitment for this project start to finish would be about 24 hours at the most.
