to the Post Course by Mail.

Remember: you must finish the course within six months to have it count.

How to go about getting course finished, successfully.

1. Read the chapter questions first. Even take the test in pencil before you read the chapter. Then read the chapter with the questions "in mind" as you read. As you read see if anything you read makes you want to change any of your answers. If so, change your first answers to the correct answers. This way, when you read the chapter, you'll know what you are looking for in advance.

2. Before you read a chapter, also read the final exam questions. You can be working on the final exam at the same time you are taking the chapter tests. The final exam questions are in order of the chapters. Therefore, the first questions on the final are from chapter 1, the next questions are from chapter 2 and so on. This way by the time you are finished reading the manual, your final exam will be done.

3. Test questions are not designed to be tricky. They are just to test that you have actually read the assigned material. Pay attention to where you are putting the answers: you don't want to be one line off and get lots of questions wrong that are actually correct.

4. You can send the chapters in to be graded one at a time, several at a time, or all at once. You can even send everything, even the final, in at one time. However, if you have time it is best to send the chapter tests in first, see how you did, and then send in the final exam.

5. It may take 2 to 3 days to grade your tests. So please don't wait until the last day to send your material in. Give the school a few days to grade the tests. Your results will be sent to you. It is your job to notify the OREC that you have completed the course by sending in the Completion Certificate that will be sent when you successful finish the course.

Good luck. Enjoy your learning experience.
