This page contains the Posttest for Module One.

Each MACH 2010 module begins with a Pretest and ends with a Posttest. Each MACH 2010 test page contains 10 questions each worth 10 points for a total of 100 points. Please be sure you have read and understand the following instructions before proceeding.

  • You must complete all past work prior to starting the next module. While you may take as much time as you need to complete the work from this module we ask that you please submit all assignments prior to beginning the next module. Once you begin a new module (i.e., take the Pretest) we can no longer accept assignments or tests from past modules.
  • You must submit this Posttest prior to starting the next module. Any attempt to access the next module's content (other than the HOME and GUIDE pages) prior to completing this Posttest will result in a failing grade.
  • Answer all questions. Before you submit your Posttest please be sure you have answered every question and included your name.
  • Press SUBMIT when you are done. If you leave the test page prior to pressing submit you may lose some or all of your entered responses.
  • Submit only one Posttest. If, for whatever reason, you need to submit another version of the Posttest please indicate this in the space provided at the bottom of your test page. Please note that we cannot accept resubmitted tests once you start the next module.
