- If you do not interview, you will lose the points you could have had.
- e.g. If you scored 100 average on the written and WeBWorK portion of the test, then you will receive only 70% as a grade without the interview since the WeBWorK and the Written Work for the test count as 70% of the overall test.
- e.g. If you averaged a 70 on the written and WeBWorK portion of the test, you will then only receive a 49% as a grade.
