WGU D389 - LEARNING STRATEGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
TASK 3 | ACCURATE AND VERIFIED | 2026 UPDATE
SCENARIO A
The student can reach out to the assessment center and schedule a first-time practice
test to configure her workspace set up and understand the testing process to alleviate anxiety
and frustration on test day. (Western Governors University.2023c) She can reference the
requirements under Objective Assessment Secure Environment in the handbook. The student
should plan her objective assessments when she has adequate time to study and feels
competent in the study material. The handbook states the second and subsequent attempts
must be unlocked by the course instructor. (Western Governors University.2023b) This process is
put in place to ensure the student is competent in the material before their last free attempt.
The handbook states there is a four-attempt limit per assessment and a $60 fee is due for the
third and fourth attempt at WGU in-house testing. (Western Governors University. 2023b) The
fee will vary if you use a third-party testing center. The student will not be able to see the questions
she got wrong on her objective assessment, because the program is competency-based. She will be able
to see the course competency categories and her level of competency in each subcategory.
