The Complete Online Course in Personal Property AppraisingEXAM INSTRUCTION and REGISTRATION FORM The Complete Online Course in Personal Property Appraising makes use of two "closed-book" exams. Passing grade is 75%. Exams and related material are sent to the proctor in .pdf format via email. Once taken, exams are mailed back to Appraisal Course Associates for grading. The student must register separately for each exam and pay a $75 exam processing fee to Appraisal Course Associates (ACA) for each exam. The exams are completed in the presence of a local proctor. Proctors can be public, private or military librarians; counselors at independent learning centers; public or private high schools counselors; counselors at military base testing centers; and counselors in public or private secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, colleges and universities. The student will be responsible for any fees that might be charged by the proctor including postage for the return of completed exams to Appraisal Course Associates.

The second exam will be based on material covered in Lessons 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11. (Lessons 7, 12, and 13 are not testable). Testing policy. What do the two locally-proctored exams cover?
