MCAS Word 2007 Assessment System

The dtiMetrics Word 2007 Assessment System is comprised of three exams where the first two cover about half the typical content of a Word class (Basic; Intermediate or Advanced) each and the last one contains a sampling of the questions from Exams 1 & 2. The instructor can use Exam 1 after completing Units 1 – 4 and then either Exam 2 or 3 or both (understanding in this last case that the student sitting for Exam 3 will have seen the required tasks once before). These exams are all task-based and thus comprised of exercises performed by the student in Word 2007 to ensure true performance based testing.

After testing, the students will receive not only a grade, but also a remediation plan detailing the areas that require more attention by question. The plan also references back to the exam objectives enabling instructors and students alike to identify which topic specific tests to prepare for next.
