THBI COURSE EXAMS

PASSING SCORES/GRADES: Whether a separate Course Final Exam, or Course Study Guide serving
as the “course exam”, is required for submission, a correct score of 70% is required to pass that
course.

➢ In cases of “Course Modules”, the course exam of each course unit of the Course Module
must receive a passing score of at least 70% for the entire course unit to be passed - - for
example, if a Course Module has three individual units, EACH COURSE UNIT EXAM
must receive a minimum of 70% for the ENTIRE COURSE MODULE to be passed! One
course unit exam receiving a failing grade results in the failure of that entire Study Course.
EXAMS FORMAT: Course Study Guides and Course Exams are “open book”: The Bible and all Course
Study Resources may freely be referred to in order to correctly answer the Exam questions.

NOTE: Course Exams are part of the teaching/learning process for research skills and a great
number of Course Exam Questions require additional Scripture References to
validate your Exam answers.

➢ Exam answers without required Scripture References will be graded as incorrect and
will negatively affect your test scores.

EXAM CONSTRUCTION: Course Exams are constructed of questions that may be primarily Multiple
Choice and/or True/False; however, completion answers and essay questions are also often
included which are designed to stimulate your thinking and provoke analytical reasoning. Again,
our studies are designed to help the student to both apply Scriptures in their own personal lives and
assist those to whom they minister in the correct application Scriptures in their lives as well.

EXAM PROCEDURES: All study guides and course exams are user-friendly. All you must do is:

1. Read accurately
2. Fill in the blanks
3. Think clearly
4. Use a Concordance
5. Use a Topical Bible
6. Make use of your Digital Resource Library
7. Correctly mark the test answers
8. Provide Scripture references where required
9. Answer essay questions according to the textbook’s meaning or personal application
10. Include Scripture references supporting your answers when required
EXAM SUBMISSIONS: YOU KEEP ALL COURSE WORK AND STUDY MATERIALS,
including any textbooks that are required for all courses.

➢ You are required to mail in only the Course Exam Answer Sheets unless otherwise instructed.

➢ All material mailed in for grading is returned to the student unless otherwise noted.
