You will need to follow these links to the DMP-01 Course Management Site where you will log-in and complete the Survey and Pretest. This exercise will better acquaint you with the testing procedures that you will encounter for each unit's test.

Testing requires that 100% of all total points be scored when you take a test. In order for you to achieve that score, you will be permitted to take a particular test until you receive all possible points.
