This is not a content lesson. It is the Unit D assessment, and it is also the course's readiness check: twenty-five questions, fifteen on Lessons 9 to 11 and ten drawn from across Units A to C. Passing it, with CR-D1 and CR-D2 accepted, makes you eligible for the team lead project and completes the Foundations course.
How this assessment works
- Pass mark 85 percent. That is the completion standard the bootcamp publishes, and it applies here, to knowledge, where a percentage is honest. Your project work is judged on the Work Rubric's four levels, never on a percentage.
- Twenty-five questions drawn from a pool of fifty. Each sitting is a different draw, so a retake is a second test rather than a memory test. You will not see the same paper twice.
- Unlimited sittings, at least 24 hours apart. If you do not pass, the page tells you when the next sitting opens. Use the day. The lessons whose questions you missed are the ones to reread, and the checkpoint on each of them is the fastest way to find out whether you are ready.
- Ten cumulative questions. Spaced retrieval (Lesson 4) is the reason: material you met in Unit B is stronger for being recalled again now. Expect Bloom's and DOK, the four criteria, the five questions, and the process models to appear alongside Unit D's own content.
- Nothing here is a lockout. There is no attempt cap and nothing for staff to reopen. Two unsuccessful sittings is a signal that a conversation with your mentor would help, and the roster will surface it; it is not a penalty.
Before you sit
The assessment covers Lessons 9, 10 and 11 in depth and the rest of the course in outline. You are ready when the following are true without looking anything up.
- You can say what makes an assessment valid and what makes it reliable, and give a case where one holds and the other fails.
- You can list the item-writing flaws that give a key away, and you can tell a DOK 1 item from a DOK 3 item by covering the options.
- You can say when an analytic, a holistic and a single-point rubric each fit.
- You can name Kirkpatrick's four levels and the evidence each one needs.
- You can run the six accessibility checks on a screen and name the WCAG principle each belongs to.
- You can match a described need to a delivery format and say why a job aid is not a course.
- You can say what SCORM records and what xAPI adds.
- You can apply the four Evaluation lenses to an AI draft and name the characteristic failure each one catches.
- You can state the data hygiene rules and the verify-before-using discipline.
- From earlier units: the four criteria and where each is most visible; the five questions and why the fifth is the hinge; Bloom's and DOK as two ladders; the four kinds of thing called a model; and how our cycle maps to ADDIE and SAM.
After you pass
With CR-D1 and CR-D2 accepted, your mentor sees you as eligible for the team lead project on the roster. The assignment of the project itself happens in person, as every project does. The Senior Mindset reading, which the model assigns at this rung, is the next thing to read: it is about what "holding the standard for other people" asks of you, and the team lead project is where you first do it.
The Foundations course stays open to you for the rest of the program. Every lesson is a reference, and the checkpoints remain available as spaced retrieval whenever a project sends you back to a topic. That is what they are for.
