WGU Objective Assessment Readiness Checklist

Competency coverage

You should be able to summarize every major competency in your own words and connect it to an example. Check the current course page so your checklist reflects the assessment you will actually take.

• I can explain each competency without answer choices

• I can distinguish commonly confused concepts

• I can apply rules or processes to new scenarios

• I know which official resource supports each weak area

Diagnostic evidence

Review the pre-assessment or other instructor-approved diagnostics by competency. A passing result is stronger evidence when it reflects independent work, reasonable pacing, and few correct guesses.

• No major competency remains consistently below target

• I reviewed every uncertain answer

• I repaired patterns rather than memorizing questions

• Fresh practice confirms the improvement

Testing-process readiness

Confirm that you can sustain attention, interpret qualifiers, eliminate unsupported choices, and recover after a difficult question. Practise in conditions similar to the assessment without creating an exhausting daily simulation.

Logistics and wellbeing

Check scheduling, identification, equipment, testing-space, and proctoring requirements using current WGU guidance. Protect sleep and choose a time when interruptions are unlikely.

• Testing requirements confirmed

• Technology and space prepared

• Assessment time protected

• Sleep and meals planned

When to wait and repair

Delay briefly when one high-weight competency remains weak, recent practice depends on remembered questions, or you cannot explain why answers are correct. Use course resources or your instructor to repair the exact gap, then reassess with new evidence.
