Comprehensive Examination Instructions
1. Be sure that you know the exam start time and are familiar with the directions to the comprehensive exam test site; directions and exam start time will be obtained when you apply for the exam. Arrive 15 minutes prior to the exam start time when proctor reads the exam instructions.
2. All exam responses must be typed in Microsoft Word and saved on the diskettes that are provided by Troy University. If you run out of scratch paper or have a faulty diskette, please obtain additional from the proctors. (Do not write answers on the exam questions pages.)
3. Do not bring any diskettes, notes or other materials to the examination room. As indicated in paragraph 1 above all exam materials will be provided by the proctor.

9. You may mark/highlight on your case study, however, do not highlight on your answer pages.
10. Answer the appropriate questions on your examination to the very best of your ability. (Do not ask the proctor questions pertaining to the exam itself, only questions pertaining to exam procedure will be answered.)
