Lesson Pre-Assessment

Baseline check — take this before Lesson 1

Five case-based high-dollar claim scenarios taken before instruction. Your score here is the baseline used to measure learning: project effectiveness is judged in part on whether the group mean post-assessment score exceeds the group mean pre-assessment score. Answer from what you know today — no study, no lookups.

How to take the pre-assessment

Before you begin

Enter your name and work email so your instructor can record your baseline score. You only need to do this once on this device.

Work all five scenarios in one sitting, without opening the policy pages or the lessons. Your score is saved in this browser when you finish, so you can compare it with the same five-item post-assessment at the end of the module.

Record your score

Your result is kept as __ / 5 with the date. After finishing the module, take the course assessment and compare. Mastery on the post-assessment is at least 4 of 5 (80%).
