The instructor will have the discretion as to which type of exam to implement. If you take the one exam that includes all three segments, should you fail you will need to retake the whole exam as none of the separate segment results can be broken out from the final score. Once all three segments have been successfully completed, you will automatically receive your CSWP - Academic Certification. If you take the separate exams, once you pass a segment, you will not have to take it again. The current release of the CSWP - Academic Exam has been broken down into three separate segments and can be taken as three separate exams (one exam for each segment) or one exam that includes all three segments.
