About the iCarnegie
Certification Exams
iCarnegie offers a single certification exam for each course at the end
of the semester to determine student certification for that course. The
pool of exams for a course will cover the entire course content. There
will be a multiple-choice part and a practical part. The multiple-choice
part will primarily test students’ knowledge of concepts and the
practical part will test students’ ability to use and produce various
software artifacts. Students are prohibited from using reference books,
the Internet, and prior student submissions during the exam. The grader
tool from iCarnegie will provide instructors with student submissions
without revealing the identity of the student. To grade certification
exams, instructors must be iCarnegie Certified Exam Graders.
