How to Pass Principles of Management WGU C483 OA

This Objective Assessment (OA) for the Principles of Management module, WGU C483, is one of the ways you will be assessed. The test is composed of 48 questions, to which you have to choose appropriate options, and the time you have is 90 minutes. You can only pass the exam if your scores are at least 70% or above. The exam takes place online, and the test-taker is observed to eliminate any form of dishonesty. 

Here are some valuable tips and tricks to help you succeed:

Understand the Concepts:

The OA is structured in such a way that you will be required to demonstrate an understanding of management as opposed to cramming knowledge into your head. It is imperative that you understand concepts that were taught in the course as strategic planning, total quality management, entrepreneurship, conflict and change management, human resource management, diversity as well as organizational structures. If you comprehend all these concepts well, then you should be able to answer different questions that look different but inquire about the same thing. 

Utilize the Practice Assessment (PA):

The practice assessment (PA) is very similar to the OA, providing an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the format and types of questions you will encounter. Use the PA to identify areas where you need further study and to practice your time management skills.

Time Management:

Given that there are 48 questions and assuming that you should take 90 minutes to complete the test, your effective time control comes to about 1. 9 minutes per question. Check the time and make sure you are working at a moderate speed so that you can efficiently meet all the expectations. For you to be able to master how to answer each type of question, consider making a note of the questions that you do not understand as you continue exploring other questions, then go back to the question later once you need clarification from your teacher. This will help you come back to challenging questions and spend valuable time answering other questions instead. 

Read Questions Carefully:

Take your time to read each question thoroughly. Understanding what is being asked is critical to choosing the correct answer. Avoid rushing through questions, as this can lead to misinterpretation and errors.

Use the Bookmark Feature:

If a question stumps you, use the bookmark feature to flag it and return to it later. This approach ensures that you first answer the questions you are confident about, maximizing your score potential before tackling more challenging ones.

Review Your Answers:

If time permits, review your answers, especially the ones you bookmarked. Revisiting these questions with a fresh perspective can sometimes make the correct answer more apparent.

Stay Calm and Focused:

Maintaining a calm and focused mindset is crucial during the exam. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing to keep anxiety at bay. A clear and focused mind will help you think more effectively and make better decisions.

By understanding the core concepts, practicing with the PA, managing your time efficiently, and staying calm, you will be well-prepared to tackle the OA for the Principles of Management WGU C483 module. Good luck, and remember that thorough preparation is the key to success!
