Completing drawings.
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 40 - 50%
Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 20%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 0%
