 Hi, global supply chainers. Welcome to this live event. Today, we are going to talk about the comprehensive final exam. So congratulations. Congratulations to those that are almost, almost there in this final stretch for this long journey, since we just started with SC0X or SC1X. And now you are almost about to complete the MicroMaster program. So this is just the last push, the last stretch to achieve the MicroMaster credential in supply chain management. So today, we are going to share with you some tips and to explain how the comprehensive final exam approaches tests. How does it work? So Dr. Alexis Bateman, she's the course lead for SC4X and myself, Eva Ponte, the executive director of this program, we are going to present how the CFX work, what you might expect for this exam, and some tips that we don't want you to forget before taking this exam. So let's start with the presentation. First of all, as you know, by now, you are part of a huge community of SCX learners. More than 230,000 SCX learners have been enrolled in at least one SCX course. And we already have more than 14,000 verified students and we issue more than 20,000 certificates along the, since when we started. So far, the first MicroMaster cohort is for 622 credentials. So we issue last May 622 credentials. And now for these new CFX that is going to happen this February 2018, we have more than 1,000 people that meet or are going to meet the requirements by the end of this year. So this life event is for you guys. It's just to inform you about this comprehensive final exam. So we are now at the very end of this journey. By this point, most of you have completed at least three, four SCX courses as a verified student. Most of you are about to complete SC4X now that the final exam will open this Wednesday. After that, once you complete and pass the fifth course as a verified student, then you will meet the requirements for this comprehensive final exam. As we mentioned, this credential is by itself a standalone certificate that you can use for your LinkedIn and you can use to apply for a job in supply chain management. And it's also a path of credit for the blended program. The blended program at MIT, a master degree in supply chain management and also blended programs in other universities like Zaragoza University in Spain and other universities in USA, Australia and other countries that are recognizing the MicroMaster Credential as a path of credit for the master degrees. So the exam, let's see, what is the comprehensive final exam? This is, as I mentioned, the final part of the MicroMaster program. And why do you need to take this? Because it's a credential, we need to, you and we need to demonstrate that you have the knowledge in all of these five courses. That's why this is a very important step in this program. So the final comprehensive exam will consist in two exams. Each of these exams, the duration is going to be 120 minutes, two hours per exam. In these two exams, exam one and exam two, we are going to cover the majority of the content for the five SCX courses that you have already taken by this time. You must take both exams. Both are mandatory, exam one and exam two. And you must take both exams within 24 hours. So you will start exam one. This is going to be a time exam. That means that once you start, you will have two hours to complete this exam. Once you submit this in less than 24 hours, you must start exam two. And again, you will have two hours to complete and submit exam two. Once you complete the exam two, you are all set. In terms of the exam by itself, it will consist of a variety of questions. It can be multiple choice questions, can be true and false questions, numerical input and open response. To apply for this exam, to enroll in this exam and to be part of this comprehensive final exam, you need to pass and complete as a verified student the five SCX courses. So CFX is only for those students that meet the requirement. And once you enroll, we are going to enroll you in this CFX exam, you must verify yourself in this course. It's only for verified student. You need to use the same username that you have already using for the last five SCX courses. The proctor test to be a verified student in this comprehensive final exam, the cost is $200. And you must also be an ID verified learner. That means that you need to verify your ID as you did in the previous courses. But be sure that not only at the beginning of the CFX, also at the end of the CFX and two weeks after completing the CFX, you are ID verified. This is mandatory in order that we can issue the certificates and the MicroMaster Credential in case that you pass the CFX all of the courses. So the deadline to verify, Alexis will talk about the deadline. So I'm going to continue. So regarding the virtual proctor. So the virtual proctor test will open on February the 2nd at 1500 UTC. As always 1500 UTC, you know is our deadlines are our open date and hour. And we'll close on February 5th again at 1500 UTC. So this is the window you have in case that you choose to take the virtual CFX in order to decide to open your exam, take your first time exam, two hours, submit it, take a break if you need it, the second exam and complete the CFX between February the 2nd and February the 5th. And for the, for the pre-proctoring, this is going to happen on February 3rd. February 3rd at MIT Scale Locations. So these MIT Scale Locations can be here in Cambridge or in order, another of our SK Locations Center that Alexis will inform you about that. So let's move now to the before the exam. What do you need to know and the things that you need to prepare before starting the exam? So Alexis please. Great, yeah, thanks Eva. So just as a note, I noticed my typo there. It was actually February 3rd is where all the live events will be taking place around the world. If you, or excuse me, the in-person testing. So if you choose to take it, it will be February 3rd. You will be during the day. And once you, if you select that as your choice, you'll get continuing information about that actual site testing if you're not taking it virtually. The only other things to just add to what Eva was talking about are that if the exam will be backwards compatible. So if you haven't, you know, some of our courses, we add different material that may have not been in earlier runs of the courses. And so if you took earlier runs of certain courses or you took later ones, it's going to be backwards compatible to everyone. So everyone will have seen the same material and that's what we'll be tested on. So don't worry if you've learned that in recent runs, possibly we added some new material that's not going to be tested on. It's going to be on the base information that actually came, you know, from the very start. So just to get now into how do we get enrolled? So I hopefully you guys have seen this exam that has come from the SC4X email as well as others, Arthur sent it out a couple of times. So it's a survey really indicating your exam preference. I have a link to it as well in this slide deck and we'll send that out again. So in case you haven't seen it, you'll be able to access it. So it basically says, will you take the exam and where will you take it? So will you take it virtually or will you take it at one of the in-person testing sites? This just helps us actually locate you in the correct testing because they're going to be different course instances for each of the exams. And so we need to locate you in that correct one so that you can verify accordingly. So we will be manually enrolling you because of the eligibility. We're going to go, we will be manually enrolling you by July, January 4th of next year. And so if you have not been manually enrolled and you feel by that date and you feel that you are eligible, please do contact us. We'll have our help email towards the end of the slide deck and what you'll be able to contact that. But we pretty much, we do know everyone who's eligible and we will be manually everyone who's eligible. Enrollment will then close on January 15th. So if you haven't been enrolled by then you can't be enrolled and you'll need to verify by January 18th. And there are absolutely no exceptions on this. So if you don't, if you miss the deadline on the 18th then we very much apologize, you'll have to wait for the next run of CFX. So if you plan to take the CFX, please put in your calendar, bold red January 18th 1500, you to see not the whole day. It's our same exact deadline closing. So no exceptions on that. So let's go to the next slide. So as I talked about, there's the survey I referred to. Here is the link. So it'll be in the slide deck, but it'll also be in the next email I'm gonna send out through SC4X and it'll also be coming from another email in Arthur. So we're gonna keep pinging you about it. So don't worry, just make sure you read the emails, make sure you do the things we're asking. And this is where you indicate your slide preference or your testing preference, excuse me. And the next will be if you already have a MicroMasters profile we would like you to also go there. So that's that MicroMasters.mit.edu. So if you don't already have one, many of you maybe already have it, but we really like you to fill out that. And it really gives us a more comprehensive view of who you are as a student. It shows you all the profiles of all the different courses you've taken and we would really like you to upload a picture. So we really know who you are and we're able to contact you accordingly. So please fill these out at the same time, get them done before the CFX. It really helps us get in touch with you and have all the appropriate information about you. Okay, so where can I take it? So as Evo was saying, you know, there's the virtual option. So that is what if it's SE4X, you've already been tested that, that was the practice proctored test. So that is a software secure virtual proctoring software. You need to download it and run it and you'll need it to be running the entire duration of both exams. So you can run it for test one and then you'll close it after that and then you run it during test two and close it after that. So that's your virtual proctoring software and as you already do with your online courses you can take it anytime during that three day period as long as it's within a 24 hour period for both exams. Then if you choose, if you, you know, some students would like to really take it in person. So if you choose, we have provided that option and we have some scale partners. So these are our partners of our, of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics around the world. So there's one in Bogota, Colombia. We will also be holding an exam here in Cambridge, Massachusetts at MIT. One in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One in Luxembourg. One in Ningbo, China. And one in Zaragoza, Spain. So each of these are our partner centers and they're 100% vetted by us and will be a very nice reliable place for you to take the exam. So if you choose to do that you need to indicate that in a survey and that's how we will actually enroll you in those specific exams. Then once you're enrolled in those specific exams you'll get more information about, you know, where to go, what time to be there and all that stuff. So just, just make sure you indicate if you are interested in those and, and, and, you know, as soon as possible and keep in mind that changes are pretty challenging. So, you know, think critically about whether you can make it to that site and, you know, whether you're going to be able to obtain the visa in the right amount of time if you need one or, you know, also travel expenses, things of that. You know, we absolutely encourage you to take it in person if you're interested but just be very realistic about your ability to visit that testing site. Okay, great. And so how does the virtual exam work? So you've already, hopefully, you know, I think many of you tried it in SE4X if you haven't you will have another chance to do it in the actual virtual course instance if you're taking it virtually. So you will actually, within the, once you're enrolled, you will have an option to try a sample proctor test. And so this is really, you have your opportunity to download it, make sure all of your specifications on your computer are compatible with the proctor test. And there will be just a really, you know, simple practice proctor test with some practice questions so that you can see how it works. And, you know, we're gonna keep hitting you from all directions on the different CFX exam instructions but we highly recommend you read them very closely because it can very much impact your exam on the day of. So, you know, what you can have open. So, you know, if you have chat open, that is a red flag. If you have your email open, that's a red flag. So we have a lot of different, I don't think we're gonna go through step by step although, because we'd be here for a while but there are very specific rules to the exam. So please read the instructions and try the sample proctor test. This will really help a smooth testing day and, you know, make sure that your computer is compatible and that that's the computer, your laptop you're gonna use on the day of. So in addition, you know, for continuing on for how the exam works, you know, there's an additional ID verification step in the virtual proctoring. So you have your existing edX ID verification but we also need you to ID verify during the virtual proctoring. And so this will, it's a little bit more comprehensive so you need to make sure to follow all the steps and that your ID is verified. And the other big rule, which, you know, seems as easy as it is, but it's easy to forget, your software, the virtual proctoring software needs to be open the entire time you are taking it. So if you are not, if you have it open, just don't close it. So this is just one rule. We've already run the exam once and that seemed to be one step that students really struggled with. So please just keep that in your mind, you know, kind of embedded there and really only exit only after completing the exam. So you can exit after exam one and then after exam two. And as I said, there are explicit instructions and videos, make sure to follow all the instructions as listed in the FAQ. So those are gonna be posted a series of places. And then, so there'll also be no confirmation correct response will be given and make sure to submit your answer. So I believe Eva's gonna go on that a little bit more. So this is just a little bit more about before the exam. So the ID verification for virtual proctoring. So you can see there'll be, we have a couple handouts that we'll also be able to access, but you can see very clearly here's an example of a legible image and name, you know, she's holding it up, you can see her name, you can see her picture, you can see the university and then, you know, some examples, you know, just to kind of get those, get that clear. So there's some incorrect, you know, covering your name, blurry photo, you know, so really you need to get that correct because that's a key component of verification for the exam. There's other, we'll have, you know, an instructional video, additional information on the testing environment. And you can just clearly see here what a correct environment looks like, a very clean desk, you have your ID ready. You know, we are allowing a blank piece of paper with a pen or pen, pen or pencil. And so you can have that, you know, available, but you know, you can't have your mobile phone, you can't have notes, please, you know, make sure your desk is really clear. And this is gonna be, you know, part of the desk scan that will happen during the actual verification process and the scanning of the room. So that's part of the software secure testing process. And then again, taking your picture, you know, make sure your face is very visible, not in a dark room, possibly not even how I'm sitting right now where there's some sun glaring on my face. So make sure that you're in a very good environment and that you're able to be seen. And then kind of the last important thing to kind of get in and I'll hand it over to Eva after this are the, is this component, you can chime in here as well. Cause this is also a very key point in the CFX's. We, you will not be getting answer confirmations. That really freaks a lot of people, a lot of students out, we know that you're very comfortable getting red and green checks. And, you know, this is a pure assessment exam. So we'll be not confirming whether you got the answer correct or not. It was simulated in the practice proctored exam that was held in SE4X as it will be in a practice test will offer you in the virtual test course. And so you'll be able to practice it, but just to kind of, you know, get you mentally prepared. So the top one shows what you traditionally see, you have submitted it and then you have a green check mark and says, okay, you got to correct. The bottom will be more like what you see in the CFX. You have submitted it, but there is not, you know, there's, there will be no green check mark and it won't tell whether you get it correct. And then Eva, I don't know if you want to, the submit save, you're better explaining that. You want to jump in there for that challenge. Yes, definitely once you include your answer, you need to submit. You need to click on the submit button. You can save your answer if you want, but in order to submit it, you need to click here. If you don't click in the submit button, then your answer is not going to be in your grade. So be sure that always, always you submit your answer. Yeah, let's go now to the, during the exam. What is happened once you start the exam? The first one very important thing here are the rules. What is allowed? So you definitely are allowed to use your laptop or computer. You are allowed to have a pen, a pencil and eraser. You also are allowed to have two pieces of blank paper. This is important, blank paper. And you need to show on the camera that these are blank pieces of paper. So you need to show on the camera both sides of the piece of paper. Then we allow a computer calculator. We do not allow a physical calculator, just the computer calculator that you can open in your laptop or computer. The only software that is allowed to use during the CFX is Excel. So you can open an Excel spreadsheet, need to be a blank Excel spreadsheet. If we identify that this is prefilled with some information, we are going to flag you and this is going to be a rule violation. So please use Excel, you are allowed to use Excel but always a blank spreadsheet of Excel. We are also going to allow these CFX, the Google translate. We know that this is a global program. We have a student from more than 190 countries. So some of you sometimes are struggling with the meaning of one specific war. That's why we are going to allow only this translator but this is the most common one that is Google translate. And having said that, nothing else. So nothing else is allowed. Any other software that you have used during the SCX courses, you can't use here, only Excel. We know that, that so we are going to design the exam just to, you are going to be able to complete every single questions using this software that is Excel. We are not allowing this Google spreadsheets or Google docs, these are not allowed. Only the Excel by itself or LibreOffice. For those that do not have Excel, LibreOffice will be also allowed just in case you cannot use Excel. It is very important, once you start the exam that you make sure that your software secure, software is running and is working. This is a time and proctor exam. That means that once you accept to open the exam, you should be on the top part of the platform, this message that we have here. And you will also have some information about the time, how the time that you still have to complete your exam. So be sure that you are proctor and you start your time exam. You will see this on the top bar, on the top part of the platform. Once you are ready, once you complete your exam, you need to be sure that you end your proctor exam. So you need to click on the submit button and you need to go there and click on the submit. And then you will have this screenshot that you need to confirm again that, yes, I want to end my proctor exam. Why we are doing this extra step? Because if you are not ready to submit, don't do that. Because if you submit before you complete every single thing, you are going to be out of the software secure. And then you complete the exam and you are not going to have any other opportunity to start the exam again. That's why it's this second step. So once you're sure that you have finished, you need to press and click on this button. Don't do this before this moment because then you are going to end any chance to continue with this exam. So please be aware about that. You will have this screenshot. Once you are ready, you are going to submit your exam. You are to confirm here, yes, I want to end my proctor exam. I really want to do that and then you are done, okay? Okay, so let's continue. Once you submit the actual proctor exam, then you will receive this screenshot. You have submitted the actual proctor exam. This is just a confirmation that we have received your exam. So these need to happen before the end of the two hours for exam one and exactly the same for exam two. If you have any questions related to the CFX during before or during or after the exam, the CFX at MIT.edu is the email account that we have for this purpose. The whole team will be working on this email account, trying to provide the best service for you. Any question should be submitted to this email account. If you need to contact with edX or software secure, we will let you know through this email account. Yeah, so this during the exam and after the exam is time for congratulations. So after the exam, if you pass this, then you will earn the MicroMaster Credential. And as I mentioned, this is a credential that is a standalone certificate by itself. We are very proud of our first MicroMaster Core, the 622. We are also very excited to see that so far we have in the pipeline around 1400 people. Very excited to see how many of you are going to pass this final exam and earn the MicroMaster Credential. And this MicroMaster Credential is also a path of credit for a master degree at MIT or other universities in the world that are recognizing the MicroMaster Credential. So as always, this is a team effort. Here is the whole team and yes, and the whole team that you can see here is going to work on preparing this comprehensive final exam. This team is also going here behind this email account, helping you and trying to be sure that all of you are have the help that you will need during the exam. Please read the instructions. As Alexis mentioned, read all the instructions. This will help you to be on track and to follow all the steps that you need. It's very important to take the practice tests in advance, to download the software, to follow every single step that we mentioned. Please always submit your answer. Last year I have one student that didn't do that and I was so sorry, but if you don't submit your answer, if you don't submit your exam, we can't do anything. So please, please, please submit your exam, complete that, be sure that you are proctor best of luck. So now I think it's time for questions and Alexis and I both will be very happy to answer any questions that you might have. Thank you. Okay, so we have a few questions coming in already. So we have one from Trellis Delta that is on exam for information states that only software used is Excel or LibreOffice. If we have learned to solve multiple integer linear programs using SAS, should we practice using Excel Excel? Also, how will this affect our other software being used? So like Eva said, we're gonna be designing the exam in such a way that you will only be needing to use Excel as it's been taught. And so, I would definitely recommend using Excel as the base as most of the approaches. But, you know, the exam is gonna be designed so that you really only need Excel or LibreOffice. So while you've been approaching some of these more advanced concepts, they will still be addressed, but you're not gonna be tested as rigorously on them because we need to keep it relevant to just using Excel and LibreOffice. Do you have anything to add for that, Eva? No, this is very clear. Only Excel, that's all, yeah. Right, and then another question from Mostafa saying, you know, some of the earlier runs, SC4X was only six weeks, the second was eight, the same SC3X, like I said, it's only gonna be tested on those first runs of the courses. So if you took it the first runs and additional information has been added, for example, in the SC3X, you had additional weeks on exogenous factors and system dynamics, those won't be tested on. So the way you're gonna be able to understand that is once that you're actually enrolled, we're gonna, actually in the next week or so, we're gonna be making the key concepts document available that has all five courses and that will have the exact content guide. So, you know, it's not gonna be everything, all the information, as you know, from the key concepts, it's not gonna cover every single thing, but it will be the key concepts from each of the lessons that will be, that may be covered in a CFX, but nothing additional on top of that. So for instance, we're not gonna all of a sudden cover warehousing because some of the earlier runs, students did not get warehousing. So once that becomes available, we will absolutely send a note and so it's gonna be static once that key concept document is open. So you can use that as your base study guide and, you know, really follow the topic guide in there. And that is absolutely backwards compatible. And one more thing, I also recommend you to go through the previous courses, the archive course and go through the practice problem and the grade assignment. This also will help you to prepare for the CFX. Right, exactly, that's exactly it. So next question from Francis Ten, just wanna know where we can get more practice prompts for the exam. So you'll be happy that we actually, I've already run the exam once. So you guys actually get to test and practice on that first exam. So that also will be available in the actual exam course once you are enrolled. So make sure to take advantage of that and practice on that. So, you know, in the meantime, you know, if you're really excited to start over December before you're enrolled, absolutely go back to the courses, practice those questions that you're gonna be, that in weeks that maybe you struggled with and then once you're enrolled, you have the opportunity to try that practice proctored exam. So this one is for Eva. So, Munoir asked, I tried the sample proctored where I got them telling me my ID wasn't verified, but I got a separate email from edX telling me it was all good. Okay, so two things. Before starting the exam and once you are enrolled in the CFX, please go and double check that you are ID-verified in this course. Even if you were ID-verified in the previous SEX course, be sure about, because this only during last, for one year, be sure that you are covered till the end two weeks after the end of the CFX. So if you are not ID-verified, complete all of the process in order to be ID-verified in this course, one thing. Once you start the proctored test, you need to verify your identity during the software secure process and you need to show your ID as we show in the video and you can see in the instructions and be sure that your name, your picture and every single thing is clear. The process is very similar to the one that you need to do in order to be verified in the course, but you need to repeat the day during the proctored test process. So these two things, before the exam, be sure that you are ID-verified and during the exam, try your best with a web camera and be sure that you show the identity and everything. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. It does seem to be a little bit more sensitive, right? This is a virtual proctoring software ID verification. So be prepared to do it several times and so don't sort of scan it once and say, oh, it was an error and be done. So it's definitely a little bit more sensitive. So all the things I've said and then also just make sure to be prepared to do it a couple of times. So I know that some students had to do it quite a few times. So just be prepared for that. Another question from Haqqan, does the proctoring software automatically submit the exam at the end of the two hours? So yes, your exam will be automatically submitted. So note here is going to submit automatically every single question that you already submit. It's not going to submit any question that you only save. That's why you always always need to submit every single question. Okay, so Eva, there's a follow up. I'm gonna just jump to it real quick because it was exactly what we're talking about. So I guess there was some confusion by Munwar that edX, so while virtual proctoring software said that it was not okay, then edX emailed that the proctoring verification was good. So who should we give favor to on that? So they had scanned their ID and they said it wasn't good, but then they said edX. So what happens with the virtual proctoring software is they funnel all of their information. They have sort of a cutoff and then they funnel that to edX and then edX makes the final call. And so as far as I see then edX, they've made the final call that they could verify your ID. And so then edX would be the final call on that. So as long as you got a positive verification from edX, then that means that it was good. Yeah, that's right. Great, so then the other question from Rakesh. Yes, a comment actually he has, which is really important, thanks Rakesh. Once you are finished with the exam, you must close your Excel windows. And so please do not save your Excel spreadsheet. That would be considered a form of cheating because we don't want you to share it around. It's not fair to any of the students. So please do make sure to close the exam, your Excel spreadsheet or your Libre Office before you finish the exam. So that will be something we'll be looking at for as well. And the next question. So this one for you, Eva. If we are not allowed to have email open during the exam, how would we email CFX help during the exam? Yeah, this is a great question. I love this. During the proctor exam, you are not allowed to have email or any other way to communicate with the staff. It's just to download the software to open the blank spreadsheet of Excel and go through the exam. You are also allowed to have the key concept document and go through the exam. If you have any problem, if you need to end your exam after ending the exam, is when you are allowed to send a note to the CFX help email account. You can't do during the exam, only after completing the exam. I need to clarify one more thing. We are not going to answer or give any tip during the exam. It's a pure assessment. We will be sure that everything is straightforward and clear for everyone. After the exam, if you want to share with us any comment, if you have some comment about some question, some error that you think is during the exam, you can send this note to us. We are always read this email and double check every single thing, but during the exam, you can't open an email or Skype or any other way to communication. Right, absolutely. And just to build on that, so if, I mean, worst case scenario, right? If your computer crashes or something, that would be the only case scenario that you would be able to contact us. And obviously that would be an exceptional case and a very poor case. So that would be the only really time you could email during. Just to ping onto that joy in, had a question, what our level of service was during the last exam. So we will be covering the exam 24 hours a day during the 72-hour period. And during the last exam, we had within one hour response time for every question. So we actually did analysis of it last time. And so we were quite prompt. So, not to fear, if you're kind of, have a question, you will be, during that 72-hour period, we'll be on 24 hours a day. In advance of that, we will also have quite a bit of coverage as well. So you should be getting very, very quick responses so that you can take your exam accordingly. So this is a question, again, forever. According to Hakan says, SC0X was not mandatory besides the latter courses and concepts using the knowledge presented in SC0X. Can I say SC0X is not part of the CFX directly? SC0X is part of the CFX. Yes, we are going to include questions that include the contents of the five SCX courses. And these include SC0X. So yes, it's mandatory. You might find some questions about SC0X. Yeah, I think maybe you're thinking because it was offered after SC1X, but SC0X has always been mandatory. So I'm not sure where you read that it wasn't mandatory, but it's absolutely included. And as we talked about in the key concepts document, you'll exactly see what parts of SC0X will be tested on. So that will all be included in that comprehensive key concepts document that will be available shortly. So here's another question. I have my company, Joyanne, also asked, I have my company paying the exam through coupons, which is a link that my company gives to edX. In that link, I never saw the CFX exam. How will coupons work for this exam registration? Okay. Johan, send a direct note to me about that. We need to work directly with ODL for these coupon codes for the CFX. Right. Yeah. So some of those cases are on a one-by-one basis. So you can, again, CFX help at mit.edu is the main channel for all communication regarding the comprehensive final exam. So funnel all those questions, and as Eva, if Eva's gonna handle it, I'll funnel it to her. So we will be directing everything accordingly. In terms of timing, is the CFX similar to the CSX exams where we essentially have twice the amount of actual needed time? Which is a great question from Nesan. So it's a little bit different. I would say it's closer to the amount of time that you'll need to take it. So it's not like we're gonna give you two hours and it's only gonna take one hour. So it's sort of a huge spread. So it really depends on your comfortability with the topics. And so I hate to say specifically it's gonna be the double amount of time. Some people did finish it. So in terms of our breakdown, and Eva, you can add on to this, but the first exam will be primarily quantitative and much more on sort of the first three courses, SE0X, SE1X, SE2X, and the second one will be a little bit more qualitative which will be SE3X and SE4X. And generally students in the first run took a majority of the time for the exam one and they finished a little bit quicker in exam two. So it's sort of an even spread. Do you have something to add to that? Yeah, I fully agree. Expect, yeah, it's going to be designed that in this time you can complete that. We are going to beta test this and be sure that it's doable in these two hours. But definitely you need to be prepared for this exam. You need to study, you need to prepare, solve the practice problem, the data assignment, and be ready to go to the exam. You are not going to have too much extra time for this year. Yeah, I think that's exactly the mentality you should have is it's gonna be just about the right amount of time. So don't think that you have a lot of extra time. So just as a quick example, as Arthur pointed out to me, if you were to take a virtual exam and being proctored where I'm sitting right now would not work. So you can see that half of my face is sort of shaded. So if you're just thinking of a real life example of how the lighting should look, this is not a good example. So just FYI, I'm already being the bad example. So good thing I'm not being virtual proctoring right now, but just to point that out. So I think we've got most of the questions. If you have any last ones, throw them in right now. Otherwise, the CFX Help email is up and running. CFX Help, oh, we have one last one I think we can take on. So I'm thinking on taking the CFX at Bogota. Can I change those preference? How can I do it? So just as a kind of general comment to those who are thinking about taking it in person, I would say that you have the opportunity until December 28th approximately to fill out that survey because after that we're gonna be really evaluating who wants to take it where, whether we have capacity at each of the centers to accept as many people who are offering it. So if you are planning on taking it at a site, make sure to fill out that survey as soon as possible so that we can make sure to actually fill that in as soon as possible. So please, please make sure to do that ASAP. There will, if you are, if you've said, oh, I'm gonna take it in Bogota, but you can't get the visa or something or the same on any of the centers, if there's something that's absolutely preventing you from getting there, we will change it on a very exception by basis, but if it's just because, oh, wow, it really became inconvenient right now, then we're not gonna change you. So please be very, very careful on your selection because it is very, it's sort of a time consuming process for us to move everyone around and we have to move all the payments and everything. So please absolutely, if whatever you select now, please treat it as your final selection, unless something comes up, it's very exceptional. So it's not a, you know, no changes, but it's very, very limited and that has to be exceptional cases with the proof that you can't actually attend that site. Okay, so last questions here. What's the percent of weighted test one and taste two? So it's gonna be equal, right? So 50, 50. And then what about Excel help and Excel plugins? So Excel help is not allowed because it links you to the internet in many cases and that will be flagged. So in the last run, we did allow some Excel plugins. What, is that the same for this run, Eva? It's the same. The question is they need to have everything ready before the comprehensive final exam. So those plugins that they are planning to use and they need for that that are exactly the same that they need during this SCX courses are allowed. Yeah, yeah. So exactly that is if it's something already in your Excel that you've already used in SCX, you can use that during the exam, but don't be trying to download anything during the exam or going to the Excel help or anything like that. So yeah, that will definitely be flagged, nothing new. So, you know, pretty much it's once you start, it's go time. There's nothing that can really be done during the exam other than take the exam. So definitely keep that as your kind of mentality. So I think we're, we've gotten all the questions. And of course, like I said, the help email is active right now. So as far as if anything that didn't get answered very clearly or you didn't get a chance to answer, shoot that off to the email, make sure to fill out those surveys as soon as possible. The survey on the, on where you're gonna take it as well as filling out your MicroMasters profile. And you know, by January 4th, you'll be all enrolled. Other things, Eva? It's a 100% pure assessment. So yeah, read the instructions, follow all of the rules, try to be sure that you understand the rules. If you have any questions before starting the exam, send a note to us. Keep in mind that this 100% assessment test. Best of luck to everyone. Best of luck for those that are completing SC4. RECs now, yeah, keep up the good work. Yep, good luck everyone. And we'll look forward to seeing you online or in person February 2nd to 5th at the CFX. Thank you very much. Thank you, good luck.
