The
Written Exam
You will have one full year from the date
of acceptance into the program to take the
written exam, which may be completed on-line.
The chair will be e-mailing you information
as to how to log on to the on-line testing
website with a log on name and password. You
will have 45 minutes to complete the 50 questions.
The test consists of five sections. Each section
has a pool of questions that is randomized
for each test. If you fail the first attempt,
the next time you take the test, it will be
slightly different. The categories on the
exam are: Digital Materials and Processes
(15 questions), Ethics (5 questions), Body
Mapping (15 questions), Lighting and Portraiture
(8 questions) and Theory of Light and Color
(7 questions) for a total of 50 questions.
Although there is a vast resource of information
available today, some publications to get
started in preparing for the written exam
are as follows:
- Digital Photography: A Basic Guide
to New Technology by Jenni Bidner,
Kodak Publication KW-23
- Digital Imaging for Photographers
by Adrian Davies and Phil Fennessy, Focal
