During the execution of the three course modules, I was on a weekly basis tested with open book quizzes. The questions where relatively easy and related to the current topic of study. All good with that…
Once all courses had been completed access to another part of the HBX platform was given. Here the same questions from the quizzes was combined and presented in a format that was suppose to simulate the final test. This section was really good to review to content before going to the test center.
Then the final assignment – the closed book test – executed at a Person Test Center. I was given a period of three weeks that I had to complete this three hour test. Although every student will have to schedule the test with Person by them selves, selecting any location and time that best fit them. That gives a great deal of freedom. But sad to say, Person do not uphold their end of it. Several test centers choose not to administrate the test, some even close down completely during the test period. Several of the HBX students (including myself) had to travel far, adding much extra time and cost to the course budget.
Never the less once at the test center the three hour 3×45 questions goes faster than you expect. All of the sudden time is up and all questions have been answered. The a long wait starts to receive the grade a few weeks later.
