The more familiar students are with the test, the better they normally do. The list from which the essay topics will be chosen is on reserve in the library as are six copies of a sample reading test. Students are welcome to consult these materials and to copy them if they wish. Such courtesy will help avoid hassles for the testtaker. Students MUST register for them through advance registration, regular registration, late registration, or directly with Dr. Weathersby.
All seminars begin the first week of classes.
Back to questions. The RTP will take two and a half to three hours. Students cannot leave the exam early, even if they finish early, because such an action would disturb other testtakers and would be in violation of RTP policy. It is suggested that students who finish early check their work carefully until time is called. Students can expect to get grade reports on or shortly after the end of the quarter.
