The literacy exam will be given on the 5/31 and 6/2. The test will cover three sections:

• Excel – 45%
• Excel Tables – 45%
• Database – 10%

To pass the exam (and not have to retake), you will have to score at least an 80% overall (or >= 79.5).

If you have not already signed up for a myitlab account, now would be a good time to get one. You will not be able to take the test without one. In addition to that,

• Make sure you can log in with your account into myitlab
• Make sure you can get into the course (if you haven’t enrolled in the course, see the syllabus for the course code).
• Make sure you know how to get to the test (through Course Content -> Lit 2 Exam). The exam will be password protected; you will get the password on the day of the test.

If you start a section of the test, you will have to finish it by the end of class time. Do not start a new section with only 5 minutes left of class; wait until the next test time to start that section. Also, once you submit a section, you cannot go back to it. You can skip questions inside of a section and come back to them later, but once you submit the section, you will not be able to come back to them.

So a good strategy for the test would be to start on the Excel section the first day and finish the database section if possible. Then the second day, start the Excel tables section.
