ATTENDANCE/STUDY/TESTING
REQUIREMENTS
- STUDY:
Study
only one section of each textbook at a time. Look up every
scripture referenced in the text, including those
scriptures that are partially or wholly quoted, in
your King James Bible unless you are specifically instructed
otherwise for certain references. If a portion of scripture is quoted or referred to in the text but the actual Bible reference is not given, then the student is required to locate the scripture in their Bible using a Concordance or some other Bible Study tool and then read the scripture. A good Bible Study tool for this purpose is the free e-sword program that is downloadable from our Study Helps page. (The link to that page can be found in the Nav bar on
the right side of this page.) Then, after meeting
the 1 week per section/lesson attendance requirement, student is to take the test at the end of each
section on or after the 7th day of the week of attendance. You may not
proceed to the next section until you pass the test for the
current section and have looked up the correct answers in
your textbook and/or the King James Bible, whichever is
appropriate, for every question answered incorrectly on the
test. This must be done for every test, pass or fail. Your attendance requirement for the
next section begins the day after you pass the test
for the current section and have carried out the correct
answer lookup procedure for all missed questions on the
current test.
