        Hi Peter,

        I just did that for you. For future reference, if you should need it, please use the Quiz & Exam Reset Request form. You can find that in the “Campus Support” menu. It will make sure you get the fastest response.
        Thanks!

          We appreciate hard-working students such as yourself!

            That is the only link we have (a student provided it – not us), and it still goes to the correct book.

              Hi David,

              First of all, you have two attempts on both parts of the Final Exam, and the questions remain the same each time you take it. So – don’t be too worried. You would have plenty of opportunity to correct any that you missed the first time around.

              The Final exams are, for the most part, more similar to the questions you encountered on the unit quizzes. Predominantly from Modules 4 through 9. There is a higher passing rate on these than the Midterm Exam, FYI.

              So, if you have reviewed the units and quizzes, you should do fine. Remember – you can refer to the course material during the exam, but it’s best to have it open in a separate window or device.

                Hi Moby – it worked for me. Just took a little bit to load. What browser are you using?

                  The third option was, “Efficiency doesn’t matter — that venting material is unsafe to use.”

                  So – you had the right thinking, but perhaps you didn’t read the answer choices carefully enough.

                    Hi Ray,

                    Good job paying attention to details! That is an older video made before the Samurai had refined his technique and made it a habit to always set the meter to LoZ for AC loads.

                    The VAC function obviously worked fine, and will much of the time. The point of using LoZ with AC loads is to prevent the occasional “gotcha” when ghost voltage is present.

                    It’s kind of like wearing a seat belt. You don’t try to guess when you will be in an accident and only wear it then – you put it on all the time just in case.

                      Yes, that’s correct. Do you want me to reset that quiz for you?

                        Hi Peter,

                        We’re trying to do a resistance measurement of the TCO-Broil element circuit. Two things to help you figure out the correct answer are:
                        1. Resistance/ohms measurements always have to be done by disconnecting the circuit, and you already answered that you would be disconnecting the DLB wire
                        2. Which “PR#” is the test point at the other end of the TCO-Broil element circuit?

                          We have had ours for so long we’re not really sure where we got it. But AllDolly makes something similar:

                            It means “with respect to” neutral. In other words, one of the voltage probes is on a known-good neutral point as reference for the voltage measurement.

                              Hi Trevor,

                              Could you confirm which unit you are talking about? Mod. 2, unit 10 is the Module exam for that unit.

                                I was trying not point out obvious questions on your tests

                                I appreciate that! But we also have to have something more specific to talk about usually, in order to have a productive “conversation” in these Forums.

                                Normally for troubleshooting you’ll follow the Ten Step Tango – choose a Load of Interest, etc. But in this case, when the entire appliance is not operating, it just makes sense to trace the power coming in to the machine. You will normally encounter the issue before you get too far into it.

                                Thanks for the compliment!

                                  If you noticed, we said right above the video that this is the most advanced one in the whole course, so it’s definitely challenging for most of our students.

                                  I’m going to loop one of our more advanced team members in here to help you…
