Students wanting only one assessment must complete the full package that contains the assessment. There will be no single, individual stand-alone assessments offered.  We strongly suggest students take our full equivalent classes (list and link to our other classes) if at all in doubt of successfully completing the assessment. If a student fails any assessment in the package, they will need to take the entire package over again at full price, should they choose to try the assessment again. Because these are assessments ONLY, not classes, the standard MITAGS course failure policy does not apply to any of the assessment packages.

Prerequisites- ARPA, Radar Observer Unlimited.
