| In partnership with the Home Builders Institute (HBI), the educational
arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Delmar Cengage Learning
has created a set of practice tests and final exams
for each of the six Residential Construction Academy (RCA) books
and learning materials packages: Basic Principles for Construction,
Carpentry, Electrical Principles, House Wiring, HVAC, and Plumbing.
Practice Tests track student knowledge of the material as it is
presented in the course as well as providing instructors with important
information for curriculum planning. The Final Exams provide a venue
for final evaluation at the conclusion of the program. This online
testing series provides many features that will help students successfully
complete their trade program: |
| Practice Tests are available at any time, and provide
students with the review and practice needed to track comprehension
of the material throughout the course and to help prepare for the
final test, as well as provide instructors with the information
they need to tailor their curriculum to meet student needs. |
| Study Tips provide valuable information for studying
and preparing to take the final test. |
| Final Test is offered in three separate question
banks, allowing for three opportunities to successfully pass the
test with a grade of at least 70%. Each exam attempt pulls a randomized
set of exam questions developed to correlate directly to the RCA
book and the National Skill Standards for that specific trade. |
| Flexible Testing Options allows instructors to tailor
tests to cover only the chapters that were covered in the course.
All chapters are available, and content is directly correlated to
the National Skill Standards developed for that specific trade. |
| Automatic Grading results are immediate upon completion
of the test. Correct answers, page references to accompanying book,
and references to specific Skill Standard provide the necessary
information for review and self-study. |
| Student Certificate of Achievement is available
upon successful completion of the test, allowing students the opportunity
to provide copies of certificates to prospective employers to prove
their skill level. |
| Related Links provide additional information on
topics within each craft-skill area. Find out more information on
a particular topic to further knowledge of the content. |
| We recognize the challenges and rewards of succeeding in the building
trades. This outstanding online testing series maintains high standards
both in content and in presentation in order to encourage student
mastery of the National Skill Standards. We wish all our students
luck as they embark upon the beginnings of an exciting and rewarding
profession! |
