35. Lab Test TIPS
1. Do not open the test until you know the material.
2. You can use your notes from the Part I Exercises.
3. Do not leave during the test; take it at one time.
4. Do not leave eCampus open for hours before taking the test.
It closes every 2-3 hours and will shut down your test.
5. Do not use any computer that easily or frequently freezes or
shuts down.
6. Do not use a cell phone to take the test.
7. Do not expect to get another chance at a test.

36. • Be sure to complete
your assignments
early. At 11:00 p.m.
on the due date, the
assignment will
disappear.
• Also, if you wait until
the last day, there
may be no room in
the Language
Center.

37. Waiting isn’t fun.
I have to go to work!
I should have done
my lab early instead
of waiting until the
last minute.

38. • When you have
a question,
raise your
Thunderduck
flag!
• Someone will
come to help
you.

39. Remember to always
sign out at the main
desk before leaving
the Language Center.

using the main desk
keyboard.

40. • Your good grades
depend on you.
• Decide to succeed!
