Which statement describes the minimum performance required on the final exam and skill assessments?

• A. Pass the final written exam with at least 80% and pass the final skill assessments
• B. Complete online content only
• C. Attend sessions only
• D. Demonstrate proficiency in all skills

Answer: (A)

Striking the right balance between knowledge and hands-on ability is what the minimum performance hinges on. To be considered passing, you must show you understand the material (through the final written exam) and can safely and competently perform the required skills (through the final skill assessments). The option that combines a specific score on the written test with a successful pass of the skill assessments reflects that dual requirement: you need both a minimum written performance and proven practical proficiency. Other choices miss part of that standard. Completing online content or attending sessions alone doesn’t prove you’ve met the knowledge threshold or demonstrated the necessary hands-on competencies. Merely stating you must demonstrate proficiency in all skills implies the skills alone could be enough without a minimum written score, which isn’t the stated minimum.
