-The Basic Skills Tests will be administered by computer in the basement of Whitney Hall, Rooms G12 & G18. These use the same software as the WebAssign homework. Thus, you must have a WebAssign key before you take the tests. For security reasons, you must use the computers provided. You are not  //assigned// a particular time to take the test -- you will reserve a time for your test via the following link: [[http://www.math.binghamton.edu/ctc|Calculus Testing Center Reservation System]]. You'll receive an email once the Reservation System is ready. For each test, you have a window of about 2 weeks to pass, and you may take the test up to, but not more than, three times. //You must take your first attempt the first five days it is offered//. See the weekly schedule for the time windows for each test. You cannot take more than one attempt on any one day.

 Only your highest score on each Basic Skills Test is counted. Thus, there is great incentive in taking the test during the first few days it's offered, so if it doesn't go well, you can take further attempts at improving your score in the subsequent two weeks.
+**Note: There are corresponding "Practice Skills Tests" in WebAssign, which you should do in advance of taking the Skills Test itself.**
 Only exact answers are accepted in WebAssign. For example, 1/3 cannot be written as .33 and pi cannot be written as 3.14. No calculators or electronic devices are permitted during the test. **You cannot use your cell phone for any reason while taking the test.** If a proctor catches a student looking at their cell phone while taking the test then that student will receive a score of "0" and their instructor will be notified.
