This test was developed to enable schools to award credit to students for knowledge equivalent to that which is learned by students taking the course. Part One requires the student to record an impromptu persuasive speech that is approximately 4 minutes. Speeches that are shorter than 3 minutes or longer than 5 minutes will receive an automatic failure.
Speeches are to be recorded on an audio cassette tape.
The student will be given a specific topic on which to speak and will have 10 minutes in which to prepare the speech. Part Two contains 84 multiple-choice questions and is untimed. Students must pan both parts of the test in order to receive credit. Students should obtain information about this from the institution where they expect to receive credit. The minimum score is equal to the mean score of students in the norming sample who received a grade of C in the course.
